        Name a race-based government program that has worked without creating unintended consequences that turn out to be worse than original issue.

        1) It's called "affirmative action". Quit throwing "racial" to make it akin to "reverse racism" (which doesn't exist). 2) Define success.

        Affirmative action has undoubtedly failed, but the real hindrance to black success has been War on Poverty, which destroyed black families.

        "Failed" as in didn't compensate for institutionalized racism in employment, real estate, banking, and criminal justice? What an odd metric.

        Uh, no. To the degree it was actually allowed to be implemented, it worked pretty well.

        K. Well the problem with that is it ignores 200+ years of racism baked into laws and society. The quote is fine and good, in a vacuum.
