U.S. owes black people reparations for a history of ‘racial terrorism,’ says U.N. panel

Merit, not group affiliation (including the good ol boy club mentioned by others) is what should count.

 

It doesn't always, and it's always wrong in those instances.
 

Its not the same at all. Had it not been for AA, many African Americans and other people of color would never have a shot of getting those kind of jobs no matter how good they might of been at them. Ask yourself this:

 

Who had all the jobs in the first place? Doctors, Police Officers, Firefighters, Lawyers, Nurses, Politicians?

Who had all the best schools?

Who had the connections, the influence and the power to continue getting more people that looked like themselves in those positions?

 

You know the answer but you will sit here and type, ignoring your own privilege.
