You're missing my point a bit. The contention I'm addressing is the notion that black people should have nothing to complain about in terms of reparations because muh affirmative action was tried and didn't work. I'm saying that you can't make that determination because the application of race-based AA as a tool for delivering opportunity pales in comparison to the application of class-based AA - specifically benefiting ambiguously-deserving/undeserving rich kids. It's true that this status quo fucks over everyone, but whether or not it does was not the pertinent question; it was whether or not its presence fucked with AA as an experiment. And it does. It echoes and amplifies the lack of seriousness with which the elite take the racial AA mission. It's one of those things where the appearance of impropriety alone scuttles the material efforts, introducing reasonable doubt as to how actionable past knowledge is towards future decisions.
Like, say, with banks.
Anyway, I know that this is asking you to center black people within the context of this discussion, and there's some aspirin on the counter for the physical pain you are surely in atm.
>We're reaping the benefits of what that kind of complacency leads too with this play, so don't lose sight of who the real enemy is here, or how they got to be there.
Fair enough. Of course, it remains to be seen if they'll be able to backroom influence their way out.
Wanting fairness out of this thing might be a be-careful-what-you-wish-for proposition, but I do just want more... clarity, I suppose.

It's impossible to get a job these days. Not because of DEI shit. Not because of H-1Bs. Not because labor is expensive or because no no one wants to work or any hogshit like that. It's because cronyism and nepotism have become normalized to the point that businesses are actually incapable of recruiting in an effective, efficient, and fair manner.
