UNC and Harvard (plus All) Should Implement Affirmative Action Harder, Faster, and More

The Original Intent of Affirmative Action Must Be Reinvigorated

Some members of academia are making a real hullabaloo about “racial preferences” in college admissions. But it’s not just college, businesses are also called to task for ensuring viewpoint diversity in their board rooms and employment rolls. And they should be!

Universities have not supported “equitable enrollment” and achievement.

Businesses have fallen short too.

And that’s because today’s Affirmative Action is a perversion of the cultural battles that led to the presidential edicts that became “Affirmative Action.”

To be clear, I’m not against preferential treatment, in some instances. I’m not ashamed of being an “Affirmative Action hire/admission” nor “the beneficiary of preferential treatment.” Quite the contrary, I want and will accept all the apologies from all the institutions and stakeholders that enabled the need for Affirmative Action in the first place.

In this piece, I argue that Affirmative Action should be returned to American Negroes/Descendants of U.S. Slaves, only.
