There's a way to be sure you're making a persuasive argument... LOL. :-)

I don't think I buy that argument particularly. What I'm looking for
is, "If you do this, Jimmy Hoffa will rise from his grave and beat you
senseless." You know specific mean things that might happen to me if I
do it.

I'm not a huge fan of affirmative action, but I do understand where it
came from. The blacks have received a poor deal from America over the
years, and a worse deal at the hands of the Democrats. The blacks were
far far far better off before Lyndon Johnson screwed them over with
his advertising of government assistance to impoverished communities.
That was a really bad idea.
