You are amazing at parroting affirmative action bullshit. You’re not listening. There are no equal rights because WHITE MEN keep fucking things up. The good ole boy club is still alive and well many years after affirmative action. All of the programs are to make sure a qualified person is hired / put in place instead of a less qualified white man. That’s it. White men kept screwing over people again and again and here we are. Also, the biggest benefactors of affirmative action, and these types of programs are white women. White women were stuck as secretaries or teacher, teachers, or nurses or wives at home. Affirmative action, equal rights programs, etc. have open doors for white women that were never open before. It’s not just race - it’s gender too. There’s a wonderful book out called White Rage. You should read it might open your eyes to just how incredibly fucked up things are and have been in this country.
