Sounds like a good book. Unfortunately, after imagining a James Louis presidency we’re bound to be disappointed by any actual republican leader.
NMSC: Discrimination against blacks has not disappeared either. That doesn’t make affirmative action a good policy.
It is morally wrong. It is a policy based on cynicism. It perpetuates discrimination (as argued in #7 above) and it perpetuates a sense of victimization – which is not a great formula for personal success.
Lastly I think your analogy to black slave trade is a poor one. The abolition of slavery, the civil rights movement and today’s American Civil Rights Institute are all movements in the same direction (to eliminate discriminatory laws in the United States).
