Interesting way of saying they squander every opportunity they have.
Affirmative action is not only unfair to hard workers (of all races) and inevitably destructive to society, it doesn't work. The kind of people who want to benefit from affirmative action have externalized responsibility, they'll take what you give them and demand more rather than work to improve their own situation.
Anyone else should hate affirmative action even if they benefit from it, because degrading. It's saying you can't make it on merit, you need to be coddled.
With AA saying that 12% of engineers must be black no matter what, black people have two paths to being an engineer:
If there's only enough qualified blacks to fill 6% of engineering jobs then the incompetent have a chance at the other 6% of positions. Without AA if you tear down your own race you're still not getting that job, there's just fewer black engineers.
This same principle applies to everything. Under AA instead of merit, an individual black person personally benefits from the rest of blacks being screwups. That makes it self-perpetuating.
Self-perpetuating = Reflecting reality
