there is an argument to be made that the former can't happen yet. but eventually that staged has to be reached... as was discussed with photon, how do we measure that?

This is your poor understanding of race relations in the United States.
Blacks and other minorities, but mostly blacks, are still being actively persecuted and disenfranchised by governments elected to represent them.
There is no 'helping hand'. There is the bare minimum acceptable under the constitution and that is constantly and consistently being challenged.
There were 13 states who actively suppressed black voters in the lead up to this election.
This myth that blacks have been receiving handouts from the government for long enough is just a myth. Blacks are still actively being targeted by their government, the guy who was just elected president advocates unconstitutional search and seizure fer crissakes.
You're out of your element here. I would happily help point you in the direction of some resources to read if you want to try to understand things better, but questions like whether or not affirmative action should be reversed in 50 years if things are equal is so abstract that it's borderline fantasy. The answer is obviously yes, and the metric for deciding whether it's happened is so far in the distance it would be impossible to say what that would actually look like.
