Battles with Integrity

I like the idea of the National Discussion on Race. I imagine it will infuriate everyone. That might be a good thing. Seriously. Although it isn't a solution (I'm not sure there is one "quick fix") I think it might help to keep things on track in regards to civil rights gains. I think the reparations argument will be dead the minute it gets out the door. Whether or not it is a good idea, the vast majority of Americans will see it as a "handout." I think that in the world of realpolitik it won't play.

Balancing the tables the other way has never worked. Marx tried it and it was a disaster.

At this point I would be happy seeing some of the affirmative action programs for the Universities restored.
