Re: The just and the unjust ways to address modern racial inequality: affirmative actNot at all true. Two wrongs don't make a right??? This is not a case of some child like parable such as "it's not good to tattle".Absolutely there are times when the legal remedy for something is to penalize the guilty party and/or their entire organization or give advantage or compensation to the damaged . Often when Mafia figures or Outlaw Motorcycle gangs are busted under the RICO ACT their hierarchy goes down just for being the leaders of the organization. They personally may not have committed a murder or anything else. The idea is to penalize the organization for allowing something they knew was wrong to go on whether a particular individual did it or not. Same thing with corporations just like the tobacco industry. They've had to pay out huge sums to the states for endangering a particular group damaged (in this case smokers). Most of those original smokers were far dead and gone at the time of the tobacco settlement. I think we have now come a long way. I would even go so far as to say in my opinion affirmitive action for college admissions could be ended at the end of President Obama's 2nd term and I'd be fine with it.
