These two arguments can not exist side-by-side in the logical mind. One of them must be incorrect. IMHO discrimination, intimidation, and the long history of it in the United States demands affirmative action. Had the original perpetrators of the horrors of Slavery made good on their conditions of surrender and supplied the famous "40 acres and a mule" the multiplication of penalties might not be due now. Yet the 150 years of, not just inaction, but out-right insurrection and repression of the People due this restitution in addition to the accumulated tremendous wealth of these same perpetrators demands justice in the form of affirmative action. And more.
History Occupation After rule by the Ottoman Empire ended there in World War I (1914–18), the Gaza area became part of the League of Nations mandate of Palestine under British rule. Before this mandate ended, the General Assembly of the United Nations (UN) in November 1947 accepted a plan for the Arab-Jewish partition of Palestine under which the town of Gaza and an area of surrounding territory were to be allotted to the Arabs. The British mandate ended on May 15, 1948, and on that same day the first Arab-Israeli war began. Egyptian forces soon entered the town of Gaza, which became the headquarters of the Egyptian expeditionary force in Palestine. As a result of heavy fighting in autumn 1948, the area around the town under Arab occupation was reduced to a strip of territory 25 miles (40 km) long and 4–5 miles (6–8 km) wide. This area became known as the Gaza Strip. Its boundaries were demarcated in the Egyptian-Israeli armistice agreement of February 24, 1949. Are you a student?...
