It is scarcely the same thing to put a man on the Moon as to put a bone in your nose.

Affirmative action was always racial justice on the cheap.

Some folks of color clamor on about how they don't want their white friends to feel uncomfortable when addressed with the topic of race. Well I say, if they're your friend they'll understand the need. Being uncomfortable leads to action, hopefully affirmative.

Pit race against race, religion against religion, prejudice against prejudice. Divide and conquer! We must not let that happen here.

However much history may be invoked in support of these policies (affirmative action), no policy can apply to history but can only apply to the present or the future. The past may be many things, but it is clearly irrevocable. Its sins can no more be purged than its achievements can be expunged. Those who suffered in centuries past are as much beyond our help as those who sinned are beyond our retribution.
