That’s a long-winded way of saying that things have causes. Yes, they do.
But the people and laws that caused evilness in the past are largely gone.

Perhaps you and others are/were. But I didn't. In fact, I never voiced an opinion about Affirmative Action at all. Rather, I pointed out that ignoring history is a bad idea. Feel free to disagree with that assertion, but I didn't discuss AA, nor was my reply related to the recent SCOTUS decision.
