Man, white people sure do have short memories. Why do white people think that 40 years growing racial equality has made up for 500 years of systematic racism? Here is the sad truth: white people view life through White Goggles. White people cannot see when they are reaping benefits from their position of privilege in society and do not recognize anything but the most blatant racism, and this is why they see themselves as color-blind. Dane R’s post is typical of the way white men argue against affirmative action: they make up a hypothetical situation with premises that are rarely based on facts. I am hard pressed to believe that middle class white high school boys with 4.0 GPAs are “held back” by affirmative action. But numbers don’t lie. Numbers tell us that black people are less
