"People have been excluded."
You have two cases out of how many millions of people?
Cool
Those are valid cases.
Lets throw out a whole system bassd on those very very BIG numbers.
Again, so you are fine if just a few black people get thrown into prison or shot and killed because of racism, as long as the numbers are low?
How many innocent black people need to be killed by racist cops, shooting them just because they are black, needs to happen before you get upset about that racism?
I provide solid examples of cases where it has been demonstrated it has happened. But this kind of crap happens all the time.
Youre opposed to a law but your other plan is to overhauling the tax system at the fed and state and county levels...
No, I'm opposed to racist laws. And think a much better solution is to treat the underlying issues rather than trying to bandaid the symptoms with blatant racism.
In your ideal, if you live in a poor neighbourhood, you will get a shit education, regardless of race; conversely, if you live in a rich neighbourhood, you will get a much better education, regardless of race.
But then if you are black, you will get benefits, for being black, like a greater chance of being hired. Not for coming from a poor neighbourhood. That is the dishonest BS used to justify it.
This will also lead to continued examples of what you claim to be racism, with people questioning if these black people deserve it.
As well as more examples, where the less qualified black people who were hired are more likely to be disciplined, less likely to be promoted, more likely to be fired and are likely to earn a lower wage.
It also leads to just picking a random crap black candidate to fill the interview quota, only to reject them later, making them waste a lot more time.
This blatantly racist system serves to most benefit the rich black person, and will severely disadvantage the poor white person.
The rich black person didn't need any help. The poor white people are now basically screwed, doomed to be trapped in poverty, because the black people they grow up around are deemed better because they are black. And the poor black people still don't get all that great an outcome either. Again, SA which you brought up is a great example of this, where the rich white elite are still rich and have the majority of the wealth. There are a few rich black elites. Then you have the poor blacks, and then much lower down you have the poor whites.
Totally racist, and in no way actually addressing the problem.
Compare that to my idea, where the funding for schools is normalised, not merely based upon the wealth of those going there, so it doesn't matter if you are rich or poor, black, or white, you can get the same education. This means the black and white people, and the rich and poor people naturally end up equally qualified.
Now those poor people which you want to keep down with a poor education will have a decent education, and be just as qualified as the rich kids, allowing them to be competitive.
And if you make the pre-interview process remove any racially identifying attributes, that also means that each person gets evaluated fairly on their own merits.
Notice how this actually addresses the issue?
The hypothetical was all candidatss were equally qualifed.
Again, that is NOT the hypothetical being discussed.
That is what you want to try to shift it to to support your racism.
The reality is such systems are used to hire less qualified diversity candidates.
Plenty of proponents of affirmative action even oppose such merit based or colour-blind systems, claiming that it will result in fewer black people being hired because of systematic discrimination which makes them less qualified.
Including the insane system where the wealth of a population immediately adjacent to a school dictates how good that school is.
So even plenty of people supporting affirmative racism oppose your premise.
"Affirm vs Prison"
Intent and context.
Demonstrating the insanity of your idea of not caring if the numbers are small enough.
If you are fine with a few white people being screwed over because of racism, you should be fine with a few black people being screwed over because of racism.
But you don't, because you are racist and don't care about white people.
And why bother providing a claim about a strawman, when that is basically all you do?
Even now, you resort to a strawman of suggesting I am claiming all white people are being punished.
The one being racist and continually appealing to all white people is YOU!
So you can pretend that because this system doesn't make all white people suffer, it is fine.
So you can pretend that because on average white people are more wealthy we can just ignore the poor white people that get screwed over by your racism.
jobs are not zero sum.
Hiring for jobs is.
A company has 10 positions to fill and wants to hire the 10 most qualified candidates. But racism demands they toss some white candidates aside to get black candidates.
Every diversity candidate you hire takes away a position which could have been filled by a non-diversity candidate.
So yes, zero sum.
You can't give without taking away.
A non zero sum would be:
A company has 10 positions which it fills by hiring the 10 most qualified candidates. Because the government wants more black people, they give the company more money and more work to hire additional black people.
Jack is not racist.
I'm a decent human which opposes blatant racism. Including the blatant racism you are defending.
That does not make me a robot, or old.
I have no issue with white people.
Just poor white people?
I have issue with negative actions causing harm.
Except the racism you fully support.
