So long as race is as big an issue as it is in this society, I hardly think ending AA is a good thing.

That is almost the same as saying ending AA is never a good thing. AA is part of what keeps race such a big issue.

That's bs.

No it is an accurate discription of some of the results from AA.

what AA does is piss off the whites who want to stay at the top of the food chain.

Those actually at the top of the "food chain" are not hurt much. They got theirs anyway. Those at the bottom are not helped much. They are too far away. It usually amounts to helping a black guy at or near the middle move over a white guy at or near the middle.

In the worst cases it can directly hurt the people who "benefit" from it by moving them in to positions that they really are not qualified for or hurt others by putting less qualified people in important positions.
