I'd be surprised if, from time to time, the racist discrimination didn't happen both ways. Lots of minorities who have been s*** on for years are as angry about that as are white folks who are passed over now for promotions in favor of lesser qualified minorities.
IMHO, two wrongs don't make a right, but it is an attempt to make amends for past wrongdoing. It's probably not the best way to fix things, but it came from a bunch of politicians, so what can ya expect . . .
Got a better (or even a good) way to eliminate racist attitudes and actions at an individual level? Evidently the politicans don't. Maybe you do, in which case I'd like to know what it is . . .
