Is tolerance intolerant?

[Rev. Rye]

The "pc solution" appears to include affirmative action.  It's kindof silly to complain that folks don't have a solution to a problem..... while you're complaining about that solution to the problem.

It's the wrong solution for the wrong problem.

It's one thing to point out that one solution to a problem can end up being counterproductive in the long run. It's one thing to point out that perhaps the problem is so big that there might not even be a good solution. But it's another thing entirely to ignore crucial elements of a huge problem in such a way that it renders them impossible to understand (as I've said before, it's impossible to grasp the reasons why black people still have to deal with shitty education and horrible economic inequality without at least even trying to reckon with the long history of racism in America [whether it's the overt, Jim Crow type, or the more unconscious type more in common use today]). And it's worse to keep couching it in language that treats this as a good thing. A tragic inevitability perhaps (but only if the social problems and injustices that kept the black man down really are too big to really fix), but a good thing?
