How much money do you think a few generations' of slavery is worth?
I don't know. How many years of race based discrimination is it worth? Would you like to suggest one?
As many others in this thread have suggested: actual economic disadvantages, such as poverty, single parent household, etc...If, on the other hand, the US government wants to help disadvantaged people gain a level economic footing with the rest of the population they should use a much better predictor of disadvantage than skin color.
We have already proposed an alternative: economics based discrimination. It is better because it captures the group of people that deserve help more accurately.
We are not whining, we are having a discussion.
EDIT: Well, OK, now that I maximized there is. But there was no indication that I was missing content to the left or right either. I appreciate simplicity but you gotta give first time users something to get them going.
