i'll just respond with numbers--am pressed for time at the moment....
1. so you think that there is some natural racial hierarchy, then? on what possible basis?
2. higher education is not the only space impacted on by aa. within that, i think ubertuber's post poses questions that you should take up.
i dont see what you imagien yourself accomplishing by trying to reduce the history that informed the development of aa to a question of individual inherited guilt. it seems a non sequitor.
do you know the history of the u.s. since the civil war?
do you know, within that, the history of the reconstruction period?
3. fine--but if you concede that point, then is your position that nothing can or should be done to address it?
4. i think this one is simply disengenuous. you know full well what the purpose of aa legislation was and is--you have thought about the questions that the right at least imagines important about the matter--so.
