It's funny. You complain that blacks have uneven chances because they cannot access the same schools as whites can, yet liberals were staunchly opposed to private school vouchers which would have given them that very opportunity, and the liberals struck it down and by default keeps them in the decaying public school system. You complain that they cannot afford tutors and extracurricular studies, yet liberals keep shoveling unregulated welfare down their throats, eliminating their work ethic. It has been the liberal idea for decades to help blacks meet educational standards by lowering those standards to the floor.
The liberal way to help blacks is give them enough money to live and keep them poor, the conservative way is to coerce them into making their own living and encouraging advancement by way of hard work.
And yet it's the Republican platform to keep blacks in ghettoes? Hah.
In canada the black people are usually more educated and better off then their americans cousins down south, The brittish ended all segregation and garanteed equality well before the U.S did in the 60's which is why you dont hear about race riots in england or canada.
Affirmative action does exist in canada but what is different is that its not just color, it is also lunguistic were having both french and english is a requirement. But even we have problems here too.
What is fundementaly wrong is going beyond just funding minorities you actually giving them handicaps and going beyond just giving them a equal head start as white people you actually giving them career which they may not have properly earned soley because of their skin color it is not fair white people have to work double the effort to get the same thing. Affirmative action should about giving everyone a fair chance but how can it be fair if your just giving things away for free that they have not been justly earned it is called favoritism, you couldnt apply for that tech job because you were white and they dont want anymore whites.
