Well said.

Remember the US Supreme Court case where Allan Bakke protested being passed over for an incompetent black student at a med school all in the name of 'affirmative action'?

Bakke went on to get his medical degree elsewhere and is a successful and respected doctor.

The pillar of Afro-American society who took Bakke's rightful place just because he was black?

He went on to kill several of his patients, lost his medical license, and is now a long-term 'guest' of the State of California Department of Corrections.

The lie of affirmative action is found out in any profession where the answers are absolute, such as the sciences and disciplines. This is why a disproportianate number of affirmative action beneficiaries seek out subjective careers in teaching, government, and journalism where their incompetence is easily shielded from scrutiny.

Am I a (gasp!) racist for saying this? Not at all.

Compared to Bill Cosby and Chris Rock I think I'm quite fair on this subject.

Interesting; I remember Bakke went on to another school, but not the rest. Any sources I can check out?

I don't think this has to do with Affirmative Action...AA in admissions has the greatest impact on Asians, as its abolition in California showed. This article almost seems to advocate a movement towards recuiting or admitting more white male doctors.

Bakke is no longer in custody of dept of corrections.

He was shot to death.

This is a story that will not hit the MSM.

Any link to support this? I'd love to save it in my archives.
