Racial Preferences Put a Leash On People

Great post. Justice Thomas, and others who have succeeded are told they have to support racial preferences because they benefited from them. Where does it end? When has it been enough? The answer is never, because then the people who are the dividers would have to find new gigs. The sick truth is that preferences are a leash to keep some people "in their place". Their detractors can always say they wouldn't have made it on their own. I've heard white liberals admit they would not choose a doctor, lawyer, or other professional who was not white because of the risk that the person only cleared a "lower bar". It's sickening. Treat people as people, as *individuals* who have their own merits and their own shortcomings.
