Why is that "ironic", Daryl? Republicans try to treat all Americans equally regardless of race. Not like the Democrats who have always tried to foment war between blacks and whites.
My usual boilerplate: Yes, it is overwhelmingly the Democrat party that champions race- and sex-based "Affirmative Action" policies that discriminate on the basis of race and sex regarding hiring, contracting and admissions policies. Strangely, women in the USA are outperforming men by some measures (more academic degrees, fewer incarcerated, greater life-expectancy), so why are they given an advantage? I think these policies have hurt black Americans especially as they shift the focus from the true pathologies (poor mores, broken or never-formed families, unemployment, bad-primary and secondary schools, government disincentives to conceive in-wedlock, work or pay for food, etc.) and merely try to bandage the symptoms by offering lowered admission, hiring or contract-selection standards.
Black people, e.g., don't need help in achieving success in most sports, the arts or entertainment and they shouldn't need it for succeeding in other aspects of life.
