Simple. You make it a non-issue, like lots of folks have been doing for years, and they all get along just fine. Once you stop seeing people as black or white or asian and see them as just people, then the economic and social inequalities are easier to recognize and deal with.

Hmm . . . So I guess it'll be alright with you if I toss 7 million Germans in the oven because 50 years ago they killed some of my ancestors, right? Oh wait, too harsh huh? How about we put em in concentration camps for a couple of years? That'll teach them . . .

What good can possibly come of your "reversal?" The majority of white society would be punished for a something they didn't do. I think that you're forgetting that the majority of people aren't racist, and don't prejudge people based on their skin colour. So in order to punish the minority you would go after everyone? Doesn't sound too effective.

Also, do you think that most blacks would enjoy this change? Putting others through what they went through? Sinking down to the level of 1950s segregationists? In essence becoming the type of society that they have struggled to dispose? I don't think anyone with a heart enjoys having a grip on someone like that.

Once again, you're forgetting something. Most men today don't have a thing to do with the men of the past who were guilty of forcing women into the above roles. In fact most, like me, are kinda disgusted by it. Once again this plan of yours is punishing the minority who still retain the prejudices and stereotypes of the past and in the process punishing the majority who have nothing to do with them.
