I basically agree, but with one qualification:

I'm cool with the concept of giving micro-loans to minorities who have an idea of starting a business, at super low interest.

This model has been proven effective the world over, in some of the poorest countries on the planet.

It allows people, of whatever race, color, creed or circumstance, to pull themselves out of their predicament and make lives for themselves.

This kind of assistance, I'm all for.
