Very well said.

When Dr. King was active I, as a student, leaned towards those voices who cried for more radicalism; but now, 54 years after Dr. King's death the devastation brought by that radicalism, and the poisonous Wokeness it has led us to, prove that he was right all along.

This is where I part from Glenn. I have the utmost respect for him, but in my view these programs should NEVER have been implemented. The purpose of the state, of law, is to uphold the inalienable and to ensure that law is applied equally, to everyone, everywhere. You cannot ask the law to plunder because its expedient, then ask it to stop plundering when its not expedient. You don't right a wrong by creating another wrong. That is a dangerous game..

These programs were never equitable, because nothing can justify using someone as a means to an end, and that's precisely what quotas do.

Granted, blacks were not given equal rights under the law for a long time, but asking people to pay for the crimes of their ancestor is a dangerous proposition. You don't want the law to place people into groups. If you go down that path, then it won't be long before the state investigates everyone's background, and seeks to identify and force reparations on those with an ancestor -- any ancestor -- who has committed a crime. People must be treated as individuals.

And blacks won't escape that type of historical culpability, that type of legal strangulation either, because there were black slave owners, black slave traders, so on and so forth.

Merit and examinations are the only way to ensure fairness and justice.
