DougR, I read you the first time, I heard you, you have a dream, okay, got it. And you heard me. You're still evading the question of what if anything we should do about discrimination on the basis of race which does exist, which AA is a measure to counterbalance. Regardless of your pie-in-the-sky liberal utopian fantasy there Doug R, there's a way things are. You already heard me, and know this, but repeat a platitude, which seems perfectly cynical. Makes one wonder if you somehow manage to think you do believe in it, or if merely employ it. I don't care to guess, or go round in circles again. No offense, maybe you can see how I can't take you seriously.

I honestly don't know why I get drawn into pointless lines of inquiry, trying to understand people who aren't trying to be understood. I personally have more respect for a simple honest bigot--it's a mistake people make, it's not so easy to know better, after all--than anyone who supports real-life inequities in the name of a grand vision of equality. That's a very special talent.
