When the statistics regarding minorities quality of life, education, income, etc have some equality with our own, or when we get around to inventing a time machine..then, maybe then, we don't need AA. That our cultures past has left a segment of our population in a shitty state (relative to our own) isn't even an issue that can be argued. That the effects of this history are still felt is evidenced by statistics we continue to collect.
