Keep shooting yourself in the foot.
People like you are doing more to maintain inequity than the klan and similar groups at this point.
I don't know how you think you can embrace the idea of judging and penalizing based only on race and expect the majority to go along with using it to disadvantage themselves as retaliatory justice for something they had no part in.
And yes, it's clearly about revenge instead of equity. If you wanted equity, you could easily get sufficient buy in by race neutral benefits to the disadvantaged; it would disproportionately benefit POC because POC are disproportionately disadvantaged. But because you embrace the same ideas about race, that's not good enough. You can't stand the idea of not having some races get the short end of the stick, so you wind up empowering the political party promising to keep making sure white people don't.
Sometimes I wonder how many understand this and don't care, vs so blinded by self-righteousness they don't even see how they're undermining the very goal they profess.

Proof*
It is evidence, as in a reason to examine if that's the case. But many progressives think it's absolute proof, end of story, and must immediately be rectified by explicit quotas rather than addressing any underlying issues.

It's not and that's one of the problems with creating a class of people for whom it's ok to shit all over their rights... Whether you're in it or not isn't always based on guilt or innocence.

They don't make money, at least not net. It's operated at a loss simply for the political benefit to the GOP. That's a big part of why they've never tried to push subscriptions... they want people there, even if it costs money.
Their owners make money indirectly from the various GOP grifts and shit economic policies.
