Actually, my point was that inspite of the Equal. Opp. laws and AA, people of color still are mired in poverty. Certainly conditions have improved overall thanks in good part to these laws. However, there is a ways to go. I don't suppose it ever occurred to you that the reason for this is that AA and EO laws don't work? You conclusions seem not to comport with reality. Usually, if you try a particular method to solve a problem and 30 years later, you still have a problem, then you conclude that what you're doing isn't working. At least I do. Particularly, considering our earlier discussion that the incident of prejudice has almost evaporated, it seems reasonable to conclude that the progress of blacks over the last 30 years is due largely to THAT factor, not AA. Thus, AA and EO laws may have well made the problem worse. I'll never understand the reasoning (or lack thereof) of the liberal mind. If you pitch table scraps out your back door everyday, you shouldn't be surprised that you're getting packs of dogs coming there to eat.
