Stu is one of the few people I've ever heard make sense on PBS.
It’s now permanent. Just like all other entitlements. No way to change it, short of nuking Washington and starting over.
Welcome to the table Sir. Thomas Sowell was pointing this out 30 years ago.
Instead they sit there at their elite institution and simmer in their resentment. Unable to compete with their classmates, they embark on a course of grievance studies for which there are no standards of excellence or achievement.
It is a painful, needless recourse, once mandated by liberal lawgivers to attone for grievances long past.
Its practice today is merely because of unwarranted, leftover white guilt, and an ingrained attitude by blacks that “it will NEVER be enough”...it HAS to continue in perpetuity because white people are inherently racist. Absurd in its foundation, and absurd in its implementation and continuance.
Should be “misconceived effort”. The use of racism to combat racism defies all sense of logic and justice.
Then when you put an indeterminate lack of time constraints on those racist “getting even” policies you create the monster of multigenerational metastatic malignancy of abandonement of personal responsibility.
It lost its way? It was wrong from the start. It was racial preferences with a nice name: “affirmative action.” Sounds harmless. Instead, it was the beginning of a whole set of special privileges given on the basis of skin shade.
Affirmative action was originally meant for ancestors of
slaves who were denied their civil rights. Now affirmative action goes to any immigrant from Africa, Latin America, just so long as their non white. The whole thing is a crock of s#%t. How many white Americans have been told “sorry we’re only hiring blacks”? This crap was going on back in the 60’s and has been getting worse.
As a graduate of Wake Forest...all I can say is....OUCH !!!
