Discriminating against one group because another is discriminated against does not correct a flaw...it perpetuates it.
Discriminatory practices need to continue to be outlawed. If there are suspected cases such as banks refusing to do business with minorities because they are minorities, there should be hefty fines as well as court mandated plans to adress the issue. Audits of such institutions should be done to verify compliance.
Admissions to Universities and job hiring for jobs should be done based on ability. To increase the number of minorities applying for such jobs (and to increase the likelyhood of them being hired on ability), we need to address the basic reason they are failing: lack of education due to poor schools and lack of cultural values.
Make dispersions of school budgets statewide, instead of district wide to eliminate rich vs poor districts. Increase adminstrator and teacher's authority to deal with trouble makers and expect more from students instead of mediocre work. Pass laws that make parents responsible for their children's attendence. Add basic citizenship and etiquette classes to the curriculum and start teaching them when they are YOUNG.
Legalize certain drugs, like marijuana, to start to break up the drug gangs. Then allow the national guard to go into the ghetto's of LA, Chicago, Detroit, etc. and go through the crack houses to arrest the gang members and PUT THE AWAY FOR LIFE.
You asked me for my solution, so there's a start.
