[I am not making any judgements about AA]

    When someone kills someone else in self defense, we call it "justifiable
homocide".  Since AA *is* discrimination, but some people consider it justifi-
able discrimination, why don't we call it "justifiable discrimination".  That
we could stop arguing about whether AA is discrimination or not, since it de-
finitely is, but whether it is justified to discriminate on the basis of past
discrimination.
