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.
This doesn’t explain why affirmative action is good or bad.
I think he did just explain it with the modern day NFL example…
They explained why redlining is bad and why “race norming” is bad, but all that isn’t connected to affirmative action (in the post).
Argument structure:
There’s no link between the points. To be fair, I’m for affirmative action. Just that post doesn’t really say anything about it.
Who is going to teach you to be a carpinter if your parents don’t know and the school doesn’t want you because you’re non-white? This also include preparation to attend that school. To break a cycle of poverty people need to be granted a chance to escape. Education is one path to give people tools.
Again, I understand why affirmative action is a thing and why it’s good. My point is that the top level comment doesn’t actually answer why it’s a good thing. It doesn’t really make a coherent argument at all.
It forces corrections for racists doing harm to large groups of people.
If you couldn’t get that from that explanation, you weren’t paying attention.
