This will definitely be true if we don't do it, because there won't be very many black people in future generations.
Affirmative Action and "diversity" are silly, but they're silly because they avoid the just but completely unworkable solution, which is massive wealth transfer to replace generations of stolen labor.

Fair enough, but how far back should we go? AD 1500? AD 500? 300 BC? The Roman Empire had a majority of white people as slaves. This argument is just silly and solves nothing.
