Which I have always said that affirmative action WAS necessary at a time that some people were barred from opportunity. It WAS necessary to break down cultural barriers and get more people used to the idea that the races did not have to be kept separate. There were black people who were just as eager not to mingle the races at that time too though they weren't so much a part of the cultural problem.'
But those cultural barriers came down a half century ago. That war was won. And now we need to stop fighting it and allow there to be peace.
No the war has not been won because there is still quite a bit a racism in the United States, AND there are people still alive that were directly psychologically and economically harmed by the effects of the systemic racism that existed.
