So much for "heros" or the "bravest". |
Of course not, but I have the most direct knowledge of racism against blacks. It's also the most institutionally ingrained in America.
As for AA being discrimination against white men, I say tough. As far as I see things, it's better than the alternate (assuming that equality is something desired). Elimintating discrimination is impossible, so the best we can do is make sure that it's effects are lessened.
And personally, I find white people complaining about racism in America ridiculous, absurd, and offensive. This is a country build upon whites taking advantage of others, and now because they see something that might shift the imbalance, they get worried and start complaining (because it's not like AA programs have greatly uplifted blacks or other minorities here).
