"it was accepted common knowledge that blacks were intellectually inferior to whites until the mid-20th century. Along comes the civil rights movement and now we must purge this piece of ancient accepted truth because it doesn't fit the new plan for equality."
It was accepted racism. The "science" behind it was crap.

"Sending ill equipped students into valuable university spots simply because they're the 'right' race offends me to the core. Law schools are the worst offenders here."
What are the statistics on exactly how many "ill equipped students" are going to law school? And are they acceped to law school "simply" because they're the right race, or is race one thing that is factored in to the equation? I'm with Colin Powell here. If a few hundred black kids who otherwise would not have the opportunity to go to law school get the chance each year becuase of affirmative action, what great harm is done to the republic?
