Name just one!"

A Houston Chronicle story entitled; Obama Opposes Reparations (no author credited) quotes Barack Obama as saying;

"I have said in the past - and I'll repeat it again - that the best reparations we can provide are good schools in the inner city and jobs for people who are unemployed."

USA Today op/ed contributor Yolanda Young quotes Barack Obama stating the following in a late July Q&A entitled; Obama's Fumble On Affirmative Action.

"Affirmative action is not going to be the long-term solution to the problems of race in America because, frankly, if you've got 50% of African-American or Latino kids dropping out of high school, it doesn't really matter what you do in terms of affirmative action.

These kids are not getting into college."

@ Indra - Is this ONE big enough for you?

(Also read; When Affirmative Action Was White - Ira Katznelson or the piece on The Root http://www.theroot.com/views/reparations-bailout that compares reparations to a bailout of the Freedman's Savings Bank)

IMO - those apologies are as virga - having more affect than effect.
