people do not believe it's fair for someone else to pay someone else's debt. >> trace: i wanted your take on this. a lot of talk about the a firmsive action decision the supreme court came out with. it's interesting. as you say and people have pointed out but not getting coverage, there's are a number of black americans that do not support affirmative action. >> here's one of them right here. it's not fair. here's the other thing, trace. this is not 1965 or 1865. there's black mayors, a black president, black supreme court justices. people of color want to be judged on the merit, not on some hand out that we are basically unable to succeed. i'm sitting here right now with a law degree, passed the state bar. i want to be judged on merit, not skin color. >> trace: that's the most racist thing that they cannot achieve something without this help. >> the democrats want to play the race card. they want to deal telling us the

its commitment to democracy and-- - you started hearing irresponsibly exuberant statements like, "we're a post-racial society." - the politics of racial grievance died tonight. [crowd cheering] - in the face of that, we started hearing people kind of whispering, "this won't go over well. there's going to be a backlash to this." - there's never been a time when there wasn't a backlash to even the most miniscule of progress. i was working on a story about juneteenth, and upon emancipation of the last people in this country who were to be freed, there were editorials, letters to the editor, as well as news stories about how to control them again and how to set limits on wages. this was in the galveston paper, in june, 1865. that's how swift and how consistent backlash has been.
