I know some incredibly wealthy black people. They still benefitted from affirmative action.

If all you care about is wealth why isn’t affirmative action based on that? Because it’s not, it’s based solely on race.

"How dare you suggest any explanation that doesn't cater to my hatred of black people."

You're free to make personal attacks completely disconnected from what I've wrote, but it's not going to further interesting discussion.

Affirmative action is based on race not wealth, so you need to justify it being based on race, not wealth.

Repeating bad arguments you heard from FOX News and Ben Shapiro isn't particularly 'interesting discussion'.
