Take for example a few nations in Africa, regarding the AIDS epidemic. The AIDS solutions are only affordable for the rich. The rich, in most countries make up less than one percent of the population. Thus, the disparity between rich and poor negates any progress made within the nation. This is why it is imparitive to help those underneath us. If you continue to progress, and leave them in the dust, the disparity between you and them will make null all your progress.
But we're not talking about helping a particular social class, we're talking about helping people purely on the basis of their skin color. That's what AA does. It doesn't help the poor, it helps people with a certain amount of melanin in their skin.

That's just plain stupid.


Jesus loves me? No thanks, I don't swing that way.
