So Boerd, antiquated it might be if the systems of oppression didn't remain active today. But they are... so, it's not exactly an out-dated thing.Nobody is talking about material compensation. We're talking about redefining the values assigned to individuals based on their colour and background. They are currently skewed to the extreme and that is a problem. You say that this way of thinking is what condoned the Jewish genocide, but I'd say that more coloured individuals have been incarcerated and murdered unjustly largely due to an accident of birth. We live in a world where walking into a room while dark skinned can identify you as a threat. That's more likely to cause another racially driven genocide, in my opinion.

Weren't we talking about affirmative action?
