Re: The just and the unjust ways to address modern racial inequality: affirmative act


CN, I have pulled this quote from Top Gun's post because it cuts to the heart of what I have been saying:



The Civil Rights act and 13th-15th amendments to the Constitution are what opened doors and created equality of opportunity, not equality of outcome.


Top Gun is a Progressive. He is arguing that two wrongs make a right, that the only way to fix discrimination is through discrimination and that such discrimination is "Fair and Just"... As a rational individual that believes in the kind of equality that Martin Luther King spoke about, I find nothing "Fair and Just" about the practice of discrimination, regardless of who benefits from the practice.


Whether your race plays a big role or a very little role in how you are treated under the law is irrelevence of scale, the fact that race is considered at all is unjust. We should be judged by the content of our character and not by the color of our skin.
