Programs like Affirmative Action, when used as a punitive tool, have harmed our country. Especially when programs like these do exactly what you stated - create "a sense of Entitlement to "Social-Justice-Reprisal-Violence"".
However, that is just one part of the problem and only a small part of the overall answer.
None of which will be given a fair hearing here or anywhere else due to political correctness and fear of being tagged with some unfounded label. Although, the other side to this is the fact that some WILL use the opportunity to condemn an entire race for the actions of a subculture. That subculture was created by and is currently fed by the political power that it garners though condemnation of other races and their perceived race-wide culture - which is irony at its most vivid pinnacle.
We have to focus on the culture, not the race. If the culture exists in multiple races (which it does) but stems mostly from one race (which it does), then we cannot allow ourselves to focus on race due to the destabilizing effect that race brings to any discussion. We must focus on what created and what is fueling the culture. To focus on race, only allows people to dismiss the problem as if it is something tangential to reality and only exists in the minds of racists - which is far from true.
