Racist Americans Pushing Racism
The United States Supreme Court will soon, maybe as soon as today, decide several cases related to affirmative action. It is my hope that the Supreme Court decides it is finally time to rid our nation of programs of race based programs that judge people by the color of their skin.
In California, the racists tried reaffirming affirmative action and placing it into law. In the 1990’s, California voters passed a proposition banning affirmative action. Since then, progressives told themselves that it was white Californians who had done this and, by 2020, surely the non-white plurality would store the racist policies.
The New York Times, of all places, has a review of what happened. Every major politician, every major company, every sports team, every union, etc. — they all came out in support of the proposition that would reinstitute race based admissions policies at California universities.
But the people, led by non-white Californias, killed the measure. Joe Biden beat Donald Trump and Proposition 16 lost with 57% of voters voting against it. Even in Los Angeles County, it barely passed, but the majority of the state opposed it overwhelmingly.
“Vote for racial justice!” urged the American Civil Liberties Union of Northern California.
None of these efforts persuaded Jimmie Romero, a 63-year-old barber who grew up in the working-class Latino neighborhood of Wilmington in Los Angeles. Homelessness, illegal dumping, spiraling rents: He sat in his shop and listed so many problems.
Affirmative action was not one of those.
“I was upset that they tried to push that,” Mr. Romero recalled in a recent interview. “It was not what matters.”
Mr. Romero was one of millions of California voters, including about half who are Hispanic and a majority who are Asian American, who voted against Proposition 16, which would have restored race-conscious admissions at public universities, and in government hiring and contracting.
The left has pushed very hard for non-white Americans to believe they are victims and the nation is systemically racist. The non-white voters themselves are increasingly rejecting the idea. It is time for the United States Supreme Court to do the same.
A Gathering Update
I can now confirm Nikki Haley’s attendance at the Gathering in August in Atlanta. More details here. We’ll have a full list of speakers soon. We’re almost finished locking everyone in. If you need a hotel room, go here.
Excellent article again Erick. This racist thing gets worst with the demoflats wanting to create separation among us all the time now.
I have first hand experience with it as I have an adopted black son. He went through the AF Academy in the late 1980's and went into the pilot program after that. I was a USMC pilot, retired even at that time. So I knew his capabilities and he always did excellent work. On his final check ride, a woman Major gave him his check ride and gave him a down. I knew she was wrong and that made me miffed. So I started putting together the facts about her. Her husband was in charge of that last part of training at that base as well so he backed her up. Also I found out that she had busted out of flying 10 black students with Dex. being the last one. With all of that info. I called Gen. Powell's office and told them about this and that they needed to follow up on this. But this was one year later as it took me that long to get the facts. About a week later, Gen Powell called me and told me that he had followed up on all this and found it to be true and had gotten both the LtCol husband and his Maj wife out of the AF. The husband had enough time that he retired him but the wife had 17 years so NO RETIREMENT FOR HER. Praise the Lord for that. He was going to call Dex next and offer him the opportunity to get back into flt training. He called him next and told him. Then Dex called me and told me that he was only going to get five warmup periods and then a test flight. He ask if it was alright to just stay in the "top secret" job he had been training in and now working in the last 13 mo. He even ask me if that would be OK. Of course it is his life and I totally agreed with him and he is now a retired Col. and loved his job that he worked in.
So I have had my own experience with this but today it is so much worse and with people doing such stupid things by beating people today.
This world is a mess right now and it needs to be changed. It will soon as He is coming, and coming SOON.
Blessings to you and your wife Erick
I’m the government and I’m here to help you. There has never been a more ludicrous statement.
