Is the Democrat Party’s lingering support of the un-Constitutional Affirmative Action Law mainly due to their guilt that the Democrat Party founded the KKK?

"Is the Democrat Party’s lingering support of the un-Constitutional Affirmative Action Law mainly due to their guilt that the Democrat Party founded the KKK?"

I'll start with the second part regarding "guilt" and the KKK. Thomas Sowell wrote a column which was something like this:

If I hated blacks, and I wanted them to get an inferior education, broken families, high crime rates with high rates of homicides and drug usage, high out of wedlock births, and no hope of ever breaking out of the devastating circumstances they find themselves in, I wouldn't join the KKK, I would join the Democrat party.

In short, I don't think the Democrats have any feelings of guilt for founding the KKK because they have accomplished so much more catastrophic harm to blacks that the KKK could ever have.

Affirmative Action is another tool of the Democrats to accomplish much that is harmful to America. AA guarantees that over the years, the public sector, the private sector, and the military will be harmed by having to recruit, hire, and promote people who are clearly unqualified for the positions they are obtaining. If AA harms America, the Democrats are for it. If AA can be used to garner votes because stupid people must be admitted to higher education, the Democrats are for it.

I am hoping that in essence, the USSC has finally understood the paralysis AA has caused to Government, Education, Private Business, and the Military.

Then again, maybe not. Maybe the Justices thought that this wasn't anything more than a States rights case.

No, rather it’s consistent with their centuries old theme of “keepin ‘em down”

From “The Great (not) Society” dependency classes to throwing them a preferential bone for admissions and employment, it’s all about control, always has been
