I think you missed HBI's point. There can never be a level playing field. Affirmative action doesn't solve the problem. It just shifts the discrimination. Maybe that is good if vindictiveness is the goal but it isn't if solving the problem is the goal.
Unfortunately, HBI didn't provide an alternative solution. But that is because, and I think he is right, that there isn't a solution. Laws don't change the human heart and the human heart is filled with discrimination.
