Interesting read. He echoes William Rehnquist's argument that discrimination against African-Americans is unique in American society and should be dealt with separately from other issues of diversity. In general I agree. It's time we moved beyond race and base help on socio-economic status. No doubt many African-Americans who continue to suffer from the legacy of slavery and Jim Crow would be included in new calculations, but so would many poor whites who are now excluded from such programs because, ironically enough, of the color of their skin. If we're going to help anyone, we should help the people who need it the most.
