Sure, we have to support all of our citizens cradle to grave, and we largely don't....but even if we did ....there would still be systemic and institutional racism in the US. That's why "race blind" policies don't work....to solve that problem, even though I'm sure they could solve a whole host of others.
(we actually do have states with affirmative action bans...the result of that is predictable)
The short story, Benny..is that affirmative action is not what you've been told it is, it does not do what you think it does. I can't make that simpler or clearer. For no reason other than having swallowed inaccurate white supremacist propaganda, you've turned yourself into a dick, yelling at clouds. Which..and correct me if I'm wrong here, probably wasn't your intention or even remotely how you see yourself.
