Ward Connerly was right. Ultimately affirmative action cheats legitimately talented and successful minorities because it calls into question the legitimacy of their achievements. This is profoundly corrosive and profoundly unfair. And it is precisely why the con artists and race hucksters hate Connerly so much.

Absolutely well said.

Wonderful comment. I wish every Freeper could read your words:

I'm starting to realize that affirmative action is just like "good communism". Liberals keep saying the reason communism hasn't worked in the past is because it was never implemented properly. But of course we know by definition, it cannot, because communism will always turn into some kind of terrible totalitarian kind of rule. It's all because there are dishonest people who will corrupt the system.

I think the same idea holds for affirmative action. By its nature, it can never be implemented properly. Dishonest people always find a way to con the system.
