Your argument is easily defeated. If whites are so racist why have Asians done so well? On average, they do better than whites. Many Asians are new to the country or first generation, yet succeed.If we eliminated race from these solutions, we would go back to the 50's and before.
That's a most puzzling statement. Eliminating race (racism) from all kinds of decisions detrimentally affecting blacks would throw blacks right back to the 50s, when overt and brazen racism overtly guided all these decisions?
I don't believe that's true.
I didn't (mean to) say, everything would be solved the first day, but things certainly would even out over time.
Race neutral solutions cannot solve problems created by race based policies. If we eliminated race as an issue tomorrow whites would continue to gain while others lose because of the advantages whites were provided based on race. Those advantages will not be erased by eliminating race to solve the problem.
Again, there are fields blacks have been excluded from until recent years. So if jobs become available in those fields, who is going to get the jobs based on experience? Whites. Not because they are necessarily the most qualified, but because the exclusion of blacks creates a less experienced pool of black job applicants. So if you don't have to consider that exclusion, we go backwards.
Asians are not doing well. And if Asians are in their first generation, they did not suffer the generational economic terrorism blacks have.
