      This is just going to be a fundamental disagreement here bud. What you call racism, many people call justifiable restitution.

        Which then feeds the targeted groups claim of racial discrimination, continuing the cycle.

        That these feel good “solutions” work for you is a large part of why the problem still exists.

          to call it a cycle is wildly disingenuous. on the one hand, black people were enslaved, separated from their familes, prevented from building wealth, murdered, and then enslaved again through targeted laws. but for black people to get preferential admission to college (and still be underrepresented), that’s comparable to doing all of the above to white people?
