It's affirmative action and that is the issue here!
 
A critical tactic of leftist strategy is control of the language. By equating in the minds of the public the concepts of affirmative action with racial preferences, the left is able to smear reasonable arguments as racist.

Affirmative action can come in the legitimate form of advertising available opportunities in minority-patronized media. That's not the same as quotas or special preferences.

Q Ari, will the administration be filing a brief in the Supreme Court affirmative action case?

MR. FLEISCHER: That is under review. This is something that the Department of Justice and the White House are reviewing as we speak and no decisions have been made.

Karl,


I know that there must be much on your plate these days, and one of the tasty morsels must be the question of what to do about the University of Michigan cases now pending before the Supreme Court.

It is now time for white America to realize that they are part of this same battle. The words “racist,” “bigot,” and “hatemonger,” coming from embittered followers of demagogues, mean nothing. The real strength is in those who give these words no mind and continue to stand against racism and for what is right. Enduring these attacks is a part of a blessed life. Christ said that whenever you stand up for right you will go through such attacks. If Christ had to endure, why shouldn’t we? After all, in enduring as Christ did, we come closer to God.

If Americans of all races can lay aside their fear to stand up for truth, we will all be blessed. If they do not lay aside this fear, then destruction will be widespread.
