AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND THE COURTS

MY THOUGHTS ON AFFIRMATIVE ACTION AND THE COURTS I start by making it clear just what affirmative action is and what it is not. Affirmative Action is the preferential treatment given to those who have been harmed by the social political and economic systems of a sovereign state – in this case the United States of America. The enslavement of Africans in America, the continued enslavement of African Americans, the continued denial of access to and participation in the social political and economic systems of this country have all contributed to the monstrous harm done to black people. Affirmative Action is but one means for the US to begin paying Reparations on a debt long overdue. Affirmative Action is not a process by which unqualified black people received opportunities that qualified white people are denied – that’s flat out bullshit. That’s a negative spin on Affirmative Action that obstructionist have used since before its inception. The laws, the law-enforcers, the courts of these United States are seeded with the prevailing mood of the white majority; that mood is racist. I encourage all black people and whites who seek justice to speak out against and condemn the prevailing lie that Affirmative Action is to help black people who could not otherwise help themselves. To assume that Intelligence Justice and Sound-Thinking only reside in white people and in the institutions they populate is not only wrong but delusional. http://www.adolphusward.net http://www.amazon.com/Adolphus-A.-Ward/e/B00OSDSSRC
