The US Military Academy at West Point is being sued for its race-based admissions policies by the same group that won a landmark case against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Supreme Court over affirmative action earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.
I was the one you were responding to, so I think I know what my argument was.
I respond to what is written not to what you claim to be thinking much later on.
You claimed I made an assertion without evidence. Which part of my statement do you think isn’t true?
A: compensation for those harmed
B: centuries of racism can be fixed
A —> B
I want to see evidence that racism can be fixed by compensation or at minimum that it is one of many required components.
Also if you can clarify what “fixed” means. Do you mean moving forward it isn’t a thing or do you mean it retroactively fixes what already happened?
I’m not talking about fixing racism directly. More like removing the barriers that are allowing racism to persist. I am talking about compensation for the damage caused by racism. That’s why I brought up compensation for wrongs being the basis of our legal system.
There are literally thousands of books written explaining how racism has harmed black people and how they haven’t been fairly compensated for it. Its such a broad topic I can’t even begin to lay it out here. This has prevented black people from equally participating in society. They have been denied the financial resources and educational opportunities to participate equally.
Gotcha you are not able to maintain your position that.
Tell me which parts you don’t understand and I will explain them further or point you to literature that can further educate you.
The part where you made an assertion and couldn’t support it. You can help me understand that.
You mean the part where literally our entire legal system is built on my assertion being true?
