| | Liberals attempt to divide the races into different social classes through the use of [[racial quotas]] and [[affirmative action]] and place value on people and judge them based on their race and/or skin color. While most Americans look forward to a "post-racial America," where race is not a factor in a person's success, liberal interests demand that one's success depends on government intervention, and so attempt to artificially affect hiring and admissions decisions in order to keep certain people dependent on and grateful to the government for their livelihoods. | | Liberals attempt to divide the races into different social classes through the use of [[racial quotas]] and [[affirmative action]] and place value on people and judge them based on their race and/or skin color.
