BTW sqrl,
I think you would be interested in the result of implicit attitude tests.

meta-studies of hundreds of different studies like these show that a very large amount of the population in USA have at least some unconscious racist bias against black people.

I'll look for the actual statistics... but these tests along with others are the whole basis of Equal Oportunity Employment and Affirmative Action.

Affirmative Action is not about equality, it's about providing an unfair advantage to a specific population group.    It perpetuates that unconcious racist bias that you even pointed out.

The more we treat a specific group as "special" the longer it will take for racism to dissipate.

Wow. you are clueless. Racism exists in other countries that don't have AA either like other 1st world countries. You really have no basis for your words and not only that, you will never even slightly teensy eensy weensilly concede that you may be judging based on your own views...

 

... not really.

Think about this.  Say your a poor person living in the city.  You have a really crappy life.  Say a poor person of a different color lives in the same city.  They live the same crappy life.

Say your told that they will get advantages you won't... because there is some rich guy off somewhere who has the same skin color as you.

This doesn't give you resentment?

Taking care of the poor should be done from the bottom up... based soley on need.
