You wre born in 1944. YOU grew up benefiting from racial preference. What you are saying is that as long as whites get to benefit from race, you're fine with it. I don't want to hear that two wrongs mess. The first wrong should not have happened. The quality of life you wee able to give your daughters is a direct result of Jim Crow. White women were the main recipients of Affirmative Action, so your daughters went to college because of it.Historically speaking, you are right. However, two wrongs do not make a right. I have 2 daughters who are now in their 50's. (I am 82 years old) When they were growing up I heard of affirmative action. I was concerned that my daughters would be denied entrance to college or a job because affirmative action.
Affirmative action actually is bad for blacks. Statistics show that many black students who should not have gone to Harvard, or other similar institutions of higher learning have flunked out. They were not prepared for what they encountered. They would probably have been more successful going to a community college or trade school.
