The history of Affirmative Action is rooted in a complex interplay of historical circumstances, executive orders, legislation, & court decisions. It was a response to racial inequalities faced by marginalized groups. It aimed to counteract discrimination & create a more diverse & inclusive society by implementing policies that provided additional support to underrepresented individuals. These are the facts.

When abolitionists petitioned Congress to emancipate slaves, Senator John C. Calhoun objected, warning that “the next step would be to raise the Negroes to a social and political equality with whites; and that being effected, we would soon find the present condition of the two races reversed.” Black Americans would be masters and white people slaves.

@Deglassco so sad and telling that he essentially says "don't free the slaves ! This could go too far and I could end up being a slave and I don't want to be a slave!”

ya think?

kind of an indictment of what you're doing now, ace
