If you are the rare black genius, then affirmative action detracts from your achievement. If you are anyone else: getting promoted above your competence level, in our system, works for you. So the genius, Thomas, can hate it as much as he wants. Retard blacks who can scrape through medical school make more money than they would otherwise. And so on down to the fast food worker who doesn't get fired for being late because the manager doesn't want to seem racist.
It works for them. There should be no surprise that they vote for it. I don't think trying to appeal to pride makes sense. I just think that appeal doesn't work vs cold hard cash. What should work is fighting them democratically. No 13% should be able to vote themselves the treasury. Something other than democracy is the problem if that's happening.
There are many reasons to feel sorry for the black genius. But it's not my fault. Talk to God.
