That's simply a false dichotomy. You can very easily tailor social programs to help correct for the effects of historical injustice without resorting to discrimination by simply targetting the effect itself, not the group that was discriminated against. Any group that is disproportionally affected by the effect will be disproportionally helped by the alleviation and remediation of said effect. The argument that we need more racism because of racism is a vicious cycle. I hate all racism, no matter if it's well intentioned. The road to hell is all too often paved with good intentions. Groups do not endure injustice, individuals do. The moment we start thinking of people as competing groups rather than individuals, individuals become devalued and get thrown under the bus without regard for their unique personhood. Under a program like this a well to-do black immigrant who is not the product of a history of injustice would receive preferential treatment over a non-black person trapped in generational poverty who may have personally endured injustice. Why do white leftist think that blacks are dependent on special treatment from whites? Isn't that white supremacist in and of itself? They are still denying us the dignity of succeeding on our own merits on a level playing field.
