RE: [Marxism] "Descendants": Class Dismissed in Affirmative Action
This article seems to be working from the presumption that West Indian
and African immigrants are wealthier than 'Descendants' on the average.
I would be quite surprised if this were so to any significant degree.
It also seems to ignore the fact that Affirmative Action in schools
seems to be benefiting wealthier blacks (without regard to whether their
ancestors picked cotton or cut sugarcane). I believe that this is due to
the simple fact that it does not address the root problem of access to
the opportunity for high quality education at the primary and secondary
level being faced by many (if not most) poor blacks.

"'Descendants': Class Dismissed in Affirmative Action" (about the
dearth of the descendants of American slaves at elite colleges and
universities, the majority of whose Black students are children of
immigrant parents and/or biracial families):
