He fails to see he is exactly what he rails against. The irony is thick. He is locked away in his own mind, a prisoner for every single day of his life up until yesterday. He sees nothing wrong. He desires no change. After enough libation, he would no doubt admit he could happily inhabit 1860's America. Retrograde fucksticks, every stinking last one of them. Dragged kicking and fucking screaming into the 21st century. They don't particularly care for equality. For women or for the dark man. Each knowing their place is the world they long for. They've run the show for 400 years. And now they see the power slipping from their grasp and they're afraid. They've never lived in a world they didn't rule. It's going to be interesting to watch. Over time, they will rage against the light, but they will ultimately fail. Sad, really. A man rarely knows when he's conquered.

The problem with affirmative action is that the beneficiaries are individuals benefitting from their ability to manipulate the government into reimbursing them for the group's loss. Additionally, it punishes individual whites for the supposed sins of the entire race.
If the premise of white discrimination is correct, then measures should be taken to punish all whites, and benefit all blacks. No other group deserves nearly as much, since they (the non-black victims) came to this racist country willingly, if not enthusiastically.
