Yes it is still just a dream. It is a dream that has reached the hearts of millions. Oddly it seams more white people dream it these days that black. All to often I see people asking that special treatment be given to them because they have dark skin.
When you speak of this, it reminds me of my time in the military where we were required to do things that we did not agree because the instructions were given by someone who has the legal authority to do so...
I hope there was a typo there. I painted grass green due to a legal order once. Then I wrote about it to the people who ran Fraud Waste and Abuse. I never painted grass again.
I think that we should have a law concerning speed traps but it is not up to me. I still have to follow the law or risk losing my life or my freedom or my property. I do not agree with the law but I follow it.
No Argument there.
Are you taking the position that though affirmative action is the law, you are willing to violently oppose it or are you stating that there are others (not you, of course) that feel as if a race war is going to result from affirmative action?"
Not at all. I believe there will come a day when the current 'goals' are achieved and the bar will be raised even higher. I believe that there are groups of people who attempt at every turn to achieve superiority rather than equality. I believe there are people who will, given the opportunity, seek to give themselves permanent privileged status. I believe that there will come a day when they will be stopped. If they are not stopped by the very people they claim to be helping, all of those people will be caught up in the backlash that follows.
So, back to what I asked earlier, Who determines when enough is enough?
If you think there is an end to it, then by all means find that end and get the supposed 'leadership' on board to support bringing things to a close.
You asked in your post if you can trust me, I say yes you can. I live in the south, racism was frowned upon in my all white high school. Racism is frowned upon by leadership at work. I haven't heard any racist jokes (if you don't include polish, Irish, and Scottish jokes as racist---most don't) in an incredibly long time. (Except on BET and heck, I laugh at those too.) Things have changed incredibly in my lifetime alone. For the most part American's of European lineage have sought understanding and granted acceptance. Sure there are still many hearts left to change, but you wont do that with a sledgehammer, you will only breed contempt. Understanding and acceptance must come not only from those hearts that pump blood to melanin poor skin cells. If the debate gets too one sided, contempt, fear and hate are the inevitable outcome.
