>if it's true that blacks are still being discriminated against, and nobody is allowed to compensate for that by taking action, what else can we need to do to solve the pre-existing discrimination, assuming that it's cultural and difficult?
You won't get many responses to this question. Stated plainly: If we aren't allowed to engage in some form of positive discrimination, we aren't allowed to compensate at all. To some people, that's how it should be. I don't agree, but I understand why they may feel that way. We all just want the best for ourselves and our respective groups, I guess.
- nomdep 6y agoThat's the point: it is disgusting that you consider strangers part of your "group" just because of the color of their skin.
- charlesu 6y agoIf no one cares about their “group” then helping historically disadvantaged peoples wouldn’t be controversial.
- nomdep 6y agoI believe in helping currently disadvantaged people. Individuals. The "historical" part is only useful so it doesn't happen again.
