Does anyone know why we have affirmative action?

Racism ain't going anywhere soon. We're talking centuries of racial problems (I can only say that for the US). It's going to take a few centuries more to rid ourselves of it. AA is trying, desperately, to speed that along. Most folks who have a beef with AA are...can you guess?...WHITE FOLKS.

Affirmative action is slow. That's what I think about it. We got ourselves into this by turning fire hoses on black folks in the 60's, and raping the women folk in the 1760's, only to sell them into slavery. Hey, White man, Look upon your hands, see the blood?

We got to get over this. Might as well start with AA.
