The point of helping minorities isn&#39;t to give them a protected pedestal or give them fast track benefits for the sake of doing so. It&#39;s to help offset
the inherent inequities and flaws of the system.

Yes we know education isn&#39;t enough. Knowing something will change some minds but most people will hear it and not care or take action anyways. History is
littered with examples.

And you don&#39;t know if education is enough or not. Perhaps the problem is AA and Hate Crimes are educating the populace that minorities don&#39;t want to be
equal at all. Remove the bias and let a level playing field be where the talks... ]]></description>
