It is circular- the only way to repair is to lead a life following what I believe is the right way- since the other party doesn't, they haven't led the life that repairs- none of them have. just own it for goodness sake.

There is no reason to own this because what you're saying is stupid. Just because someone believes destroying affirmative action (which is
remedial in nature, btw) is a good thing doesn't actually make it a good thing. If you're out here talking about how all policy should be colorblind when every institution is decidedly
not colorblind, you may believe that (although I think almost everyone who argues that bullshit is full of shit), but you are wrong. So, if you have a racist past and your policies harm people of color, you're damn right, you can fuck off.
Just stop it.
