But see, that's part of the problem. When you have a group of people that has any special protection because "Race is highly protected by civil rights law.", you inherently are going to create hatred by everyone else, for those protected people.
This is why Blacks were actually better off, and had attained higher levels in government, and economically, before the civil rights movement, than after.
Worse yet, you created the perception of phony achievement. How would you like to be known as the guy who only has a job, because the pigment in your skin is different? How would you like to know that all your co-workers believed you were only there to meet some arbitrary quota, rather than any ability on your part?
Well, I've met those people. I've worked with them. It's horrible to have a job, knowing everyone thinks you aren't worth a penny, but have a job because you have a permanent sun-tan.
You remove their dignity. Removed their self-respect. By creating this protected class of people, you have done some almost non-repairable harm. You practically put these people in the cage of affirmative action, because now no matter what they do, how good, or bad they work, or what merit they may or may not have... people always see the 'token black guy'... the "racism lawsuit avoidance guy". And management knows it. That's why they rarely get promoted. They know the reason that guy is here, is so they don't get a lawsuit. If they promote the token black guy, then they'll have to find another token black guy to take his place.
Having protected classes of people, is the best way to harm those people. Why do you think we have all the problems in the 'protected class' of people, 50+ years after they were enshrined as protected? If the civil rights movement was such a brilliant success, they sure are hiding all the utopian results.
