Should middle class Negroes/Freedmen be ineligible for lineage setasides?

#LineageMatters

Affirmative action of the 1960’s was designed to be a reparatory policy for Negroes/descendants of U.S. slaves for the nearly 20+ generations of wealth extraction, exclusion from education, exclusion from hiring, under payment, slavery and its effects, unconstitutional Jim Crow and the federal government’s lax (read absent/negligent) implementation of Negro/DOS rights AND protections.

The federal government allowed Confederates and other anti-Negro bigots to run wild and subvert the post-civil war Constitution of these united states.

That subversion didn’t happen to all people.

It happened to colored people … colored people being American Negroes, specifically.

That subversion of the constitution was about the people who were harmed by the lineage of slavery which includes Jim Crow through today!

Not “BIPOC,” not “POC,” not “poor people.”

Affirmative action is about a specific constitutionally protected class of people: The Freedmen (see the post-civil war constitutional amendments 13, 14, 15 and the civil rights acts of the 1860's).
