Quote by: B1NKS  It is silly to attempt to undo what happened in the past through affirmative action and reparations; it would be more logical and practical to instead establish equality under the law (equal opportunity) once and for all and then move on, and stop living in the past, and instead look to the future. And that happened already in the US during the Civil Rights Era.
Still, I believe there is a generation of 'civil rights activists' that are really 'welfare rights activists'. They confuse equality under the law with economic equality. They confuse equality of opportunity with equality of outcomes. | Equality under the law was established with the 14th amendment.
