You are out of your element here. Just take the loss on move on:
Dude. Save teh shit talk for someone who might be impressed. Like your pothead buddies.
For decades Republicans actively promoted the idea that affirmative action involved unfair "racial preferences" or "quotas". Just a few examples of your bullshit statement refuted by actions in the 90s. The 2000’s were even worse.
So, I point to generations of formal government policy and practice and you ignore that and point instead to some republicans, CORRECTLY, discussing the fact that Affrimative Action involves anti-white discrimination.
Yes, during the time period in question, the gop held to the consensus despite the growing realization that the status quo was nothing but a form of anti-white racism.
That does not refute my point that we have had a bi-partisan consensus on equality for blacks. Just that a growing portion of people, republicans especially were not prepared to be racist against whites in the pursuit of that goal.
Equal Opportunity Act of 1995 (sponsored by Bob Dole) would have banned federal affirmative action programs.
Proposition 209 (1996) was a California ballot initiative, championed by Republicans and their allies, successfully amended the state constitution to prohibit state government entities from considering race
So,... are you supporting the idea that the only way to advance black equality is be discriminiating against whites?
