Jim Webb was asked about his position on affirmative action, having called it government sponsored racism in the past.

He said affirmative action was supposed to address the result of slavery specifically, that it had been expanded to the point that only white men were left out. His solution? Because Black people are the only ones the government consciously stepped on, only Black people should be eligible for affirmative action.

I heard him say that on Meet the Press, but I wasn't sure I should repeat it...but he did. I don't know if I'm more surprised or  impressed.
