And,yes, the GI Bill was passed after the guys who benefited had entered the service. So? How does this differ from you taking a job and, after you have done so, the company improves it benefits and you get the benefit of that?

Affirmative action is just another way of leveling the playing field for people who deserve a chance to compete.
Affirmative action is Jim Crow applied against a different group of people. It is still discrimination by legal means. The original purpose of the civil rights movement was to eliminate discrimination; now it has come full circle and has institutionalized it again.

Your arguments in defense of affirmative action are becoming increasingly byzantine.
