The Civil Rights Act guaranteed that discrimination based on race was illegal. In the south, this discrimination had actually been legal.
To level the playing field once civil rights laws were enacted, affirmative action became established to give those who for so long had been held at disadvantage an advantage to get education and jobs.
That was over four decades ago-those who were ready for college, ready for a career benefited from AA. As a result, their children benefited. Now those children are in or approaching their forties. Why are there programs still paying for those benefits?
Google Affirmative Action and read the umpteen opinions. Good stuff.
