Sowell is so right that the other unfair part of affirmative action is that any time a minority excels many will believe it’s because of his race.

I was thinking that the other day. I'm sure you've heard the line of reasoning that goes: If you were about to have major surgery, would you want to know that your doctor had been admitted to medical school through affirmative action?

When someone is promoted based upon anything but merit, the entire system of trust breaks down.

Unfortunately, we have to wonder whether Obammie the Commie has truly earned each step along the way to this final achievement, and, thus, this achievement itself.

I was really hoping that, if we had to worry about such things as, “the first black president,” that it would be a Republican, who would have the MSM and all the celebutards against him, who won the election fair and square. That way we'd know that “the first” truly earned it and we could not only lay that milestone aside, but everyone who claimed a victim status could look to him/her as a role model that this is still the land of opportunity and we don't need the free-pass of affirmative action.
