“The Civil Rights Act has turned white males into whipping boys...”
This isn’t new. When I completed a 2 year communications program at a local community college in 1974, the last weeks were devoted to job searches. Our very diverse class was told, in no uncertain terms, that white males were “over-represented in the Bay Area and were un-hireable.” The reps from the local network affiliates said that they’d instantly hire minority females, even with 2.0 GPAs, since they could fill several quota slots that way.
When I pointed out that this was nothing more than blatant discrimination, I was told that it was “affirmative action,” and furthermore, I should be “proud to be among the first to right historic wrongs.”
It didn’t matter that I’d been supporting myself since I was 16, when my parents suffered a very nasty, alcohol-fueled divorce. It didn’t matter that I was also working full time while trying to get a college education, and that I had a 3.75 GPA. I had the wrong skin color and gender, so I couldn’t get a broadcast job locally.
And today? If you’re not English and Spanish bilingual, forget getting a retail job in California.
This madness has to stop.
It seems to me that it is the interpretation of the CRA or ignoring its application in the favor of injured whites that has turned white males into whipping boys.
Right. And the problem that most Affirmative Racism proponents do not understand is that Affirmative Action is STATE-SANCTIONED RACISM. Can you say “Fascism???”
This type of racism by our gov’t is far more immoral than voluntary racism by random individuals in society, which we’ll never be able to control and never should try to control because it abridges first amendment rights.
