Hi Professor,
It goes back to the idea of ensuring that the qualified (good apples) blacks receive admission to schools rather than the less qualified people passed off as qualified getting admitted.
From what I read, Thomas believes that Blacks should continue to work their way up without receiving any special treatment.
I agree with his idea because doing what he proposes puts a better light on aptly qualified Blacks getting into prestigious public schools on the whole. It would fan away the flames of criticism that face a lot of Blacks that get into U of TX, U of MI, U of CA schools and then do poorly (i.e. barely holding on to a 2.7 GPA).
On the other hand, I believe that his ideas might require too much of a drastic mind change when the resources (grade school systems) to motivate his ideas exist in state of disarray.
I hope this makes things clearer for you.
