"What kind of idiot would try to enforce a racial covenant in this day and age?"
Yes, that's a completely indefensible position, not enlightened like giving minorities entry points for their ethnicity in the contest to enter Univ of Michigan Law School, or giving favortism to minorites over whites for plum jobs, etc., etc.
LOL! So how is affirmative action different than a racial covenant? Hint: all men are created equal, but some are [viewed by the government as] more equal than others
