"Name me one black group or politician who is calling for an end to AA (Affirmative-Action)?
Name just one!"
A Houston Chronicle story entitled; Obama Opposes Reparations (no author credited) quotes Barack Obama as saying;
"I have said in the past - and I'll repeat it again - that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed."
USA Today op/ed contributor Yolanda Young quotes Barack Obama stating the following in a late July Q&A entitled; Obama's Fumble On Affirmative Action."Affirmative action is not going to be the long-term solution to the problems of race in America because, frankly, if you've got 50% of African-American or Latino kids dropping out of high school, it doesn't really matter what you do in terms of affirmative action.
These kids are not getting into college."
@ Indra - Is this ONE big enough for you?
(Also read; When Affirmative Action Was White - Ira Katznelson or the piece on The Root http://www.theroot.com/views/reparations-bailout that compares reparations to a bailout of the Freedman's Savings Bank)
IMO - those apologies are as virga - having more affect than effect.
