Racism in the name of affirmitive action is still racism.
END ALL affirmitive action now. Hell with containing it!

Some Republicans now say that affirmative action is here to stay, so the best we can do is to "contain" it. That means limiting affirmative action to blacks and American Indians.

Wouldn't it be better to extend affirmative action to everyone. (i.e. Affirmative Action is SO GREAT, we won't deny it to anyone. Everyone who applies to college gets 10 bonus points. Everyone who applies for a job gets 10 bonus points.)

How can you universalize a preferential program?

You just don't get it. Only that is racism, which benefits colorless people.

All animals are equal, but some are more equal than others.

Universalize a preferential program by making everyone equally preferred. Can anyone argue against it? Do we WANT to proclaim some "more equal than others"? It's what we've been doing, and it is wrong on its face.

Again I will say it, Bush is circumventing the will and best interest of the American people in favor of a foreign power..

Of course, it's wrong. Even the Constitution says so -- the 14th Amendment. The problem is our elites, including the USSC, hold the Constitution (not to mention basic decency) in contempt.
