“Affirmative action simultaneously appeals to white condescension and  virtue signaling. It’s opponents can be chastised as ignorant and  racist.  Its proponents can feel the psychological gratification of a  sense of moral superiority and knowledge of cultural diversity, a very  posh thing indeed. Measurable statistical data, over a period of decades, showing the harm that  affirmative action has done has no place when it comes to climbing the  smugness ladder.  The ultimate irony is the proponent with fingers in  his ears is guilty of his own accusations, ignorance and racism. He is  ignorant of how harmful Affirmative Action has been for those it  professes to help, and ignoring the intrinsic racism of a policy that replaced  merit with merit only within a limited racial category for some and  merit only after those categories have been filled, for everyone else. To  relegate any disagreement to a policy as part of some social taboo or  stigma, is just a form of bullying. In essence, saying agree with me or  you are a racist is a totally dishonest platform from its onset. If you  cannot listen to reason and ideas first without making a pre-judgement,  that is what we call prejudice. ” -SOBS2 Ryan Dawson

This book is almost ready. I will probably launch it after the TILAP events are over.  Thanks to a last minute donation I have finally retired from my second job.
