"I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character." Martin Luther King - Dream Speech The words affirmative action would have him rolling over in his grave. Having been a victim of discrimination, he'd have welcomed a program that'd help reintegrate blacks into mainstream society. That was what affirmative action was meant to do. Like any policy, it probably strayed a bit too far in one direction or another, but the basic premise was a good one and worthy of pursuit. We've come a long ways since "strange fruit" hung in the south for no reason but we're by no means cured. MLK said nothing about pushing folks to the head of the line because they are black. He wanted equal oportunities based on character and intelligence. It is a simple sentence and still you don't get it. I'm not the one who doesn't get it. Whites still have an unfair advantage in this country and you've got to be deaf, dumb and blind not to recognize it. You just don't want to admit it. The thread started out about having to lower passing grade on tests so folks with lower IQs could pass them. Once they are able to pass the tests, the quotas kick in. So why bother with testing at all? |
