AA isn't tied down to the idea that "every single black person is an idiot". It's also been motivated, often solely, by the idea that there still exist employers who discriminate on the basis of color. I know this to be true, though I've no idea of the extent. It certainly isn't broadcasted anymore.

I agree with your basic point, though. I think #2 is the most important point of yours.
