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’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.

        Tell me which parts you don’t understand and I will explain them further or point you to literature that can further educate you.
