Of the two meanings of affirmative action -- ie, to affirm equal individual opportunity & to ensure equal group representation -- the former meaning predominated until 1969, when the Nixon administration introduced numerical quotas or goals in hiring; subsequently, Republicans opposed & Democrats endorsed group goals. It is argued that since most Americans, including blacks, oppose such policies, as evident in poll results, the Democratic party has been hurt by supporting them. Despite the strength of US egalitarianism, blacks have been an oppressed caste for most of the nation's history, eg, via statutory slavery & segregation. Resolution of this contradiction remains a persistent dilemma. Adapted from the source document.

How best to resolve this contradiction between our egalitarian creed and the legacy of slavery remains the American dilemma.
When the Equal Rights Amendment was first passed by Congress in 1972, Richard Nixon was president and All in the Family's Archie Bunker was telling his feisty wife Edith to stifle it. Over the course of the next ten years, an initial wave of enthusiasm led to ratification of the ERA by thirty-five states, just three short of the thirty-eight states needed by the 1982 deadline. Many of the arguments against the ERA that historically stood in the way of ratification have gone the way of bouffant hairdos and Bobby Riggs, and a new Coalition for the ERA was recently set up to bring the experience
