[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The US could pay out reparations for Jim Crow. My father was forced to go segregated schools and wasn’t allowed to enroll at our state’s land grant institution. He’s still alive. I’m so sick of the argument that this was all a long time ago. No, it wasn’t. [/quote] The reparations for Jim Crow were various affirmative action programs and government set-asides; blacks were given preference for jobs, university admissions, scholarships, government contracting opportunities, and many other programs. They were in place for many decades and survived numerous legal challenges during that time. But our Supreme Court has said that they can no longer be justified and are now illegal.[/quote] Oh, well then I guess everything is fine then.[/quote]
