No, we will never reach the cosmic justice you seek.

For some reason, socialists (the word liberal has been perverted) like yourself fail to recognize that members of minority groups do succeed in America, as bad as it is, in every walk of life. I do not denigrate their accomplishments by suggesting that they could not have achieved them without having the bar lowered.

I detest past injustices as much as you do, but as a practical matter, there is no way to right all the historical wrongs without committing further injustice. I am sure you cannot stand Thomas Sowell, but he wrote an excellent book on this subject entitled, "The Quest for Cosmic Justice." I recommend it.
