I think certain rhetoric while having some legitimate basis is best avoided because it agitates some negative segments of humanity

True, Cw. Kinda like doing a Poll and asking Americans is they thing Blacks should be hired in Public Jobs on the basis of 'Affirmative Action/'Reparations'...or on the basis or Merit. With a common standard regardless of Race; like they do in Professional Sports.

Just talking openly re the above "agitates some negative segments of humanity"; the question then becomes what effect is worse on societal unity...just IMPOSING the Policy (above)...or honestly talking/arguing it's merits. Obama chose the former via EOs/Bureaucratic Mandate; the effects (of meritless/Racialist-biased policy) will be less ably managed than the Executive implementation therein. It's called 'unintended consequences'; and can be a bitch.

We'll get there.
