Affirmative Action is Reverse Racism

The U.S. Supreme Court recently upheld a University of Michigan affirmative action admissions policy. Essentially, the Supreme Court is saying it's okay to prefer certain students based on sex or race to help eliminate sexism or racism. What kind of system is that!? I heard just the other day that a particular individual's entire position in a local Evansville company is to find and prefer women or black applicants for employment. That is so this particular company has "diversity" enough to keep Jesse Jackson from knocking at their door. Getting a job based on merit must not be as important as getting one based on your skin color or your gender.

How far will this go? When will it be enough to satisfy them that we have a completely perfect representation of the real world in our universities and businesses? Or is that objective even a worthy one? See, really people should be outraged at all levels because you either are the person who achieves this psuedo-success based on your skin color or you are the person who is held back because of it. The problem should be broad enough and offend enough people that there is a revolt against it; but for a reason unknown to me, the revolt is minor, if existent.

I suppose much of it is due to the fact that we have been brainwashed so much into this idea of "tolerance" (and even Arnold Schwarzenegger is subscribing to this liberalism!) -- that to say anything that might offend someone is wrong. Tolerating means that you don't approve of, but allow, something. Where does the tolerance stop? It's time to stop closing our minds and be able to see things how they are and be willing to tell it like it is. It's also time to stand up for what you believe in, because if we don't now, while we still have our freedoms to do so, how much harder will it be after our freedoms are gone?

Some people will tell you, "well we are just trying to make organizations look more like everyday America" -- what, by playing God?! The systematic usage of racism to defeat racism is just simply racist. Our universities should not be allowed to discriminate against us white folk just because we are white. It's time to call Affirmative Action what it really is, Reverse Racism. It's also time to start speaking out against this inhumane liberal device!
