America’s Progressives have nothing to worry about. The race
baiters like Al Sharpton can stop their anguished cries of alarm. The Supreme Court’s recent decision to uphold
Michigan’s ban on using Affirmative Action in college admissions is
only a token gift to the Right. In the
bigger picture it means nothing and its chief victims, white men, having watched
this drama unfold for decades, know it. Joe
Smuck cannot understand what all the fuss is about because he knows
Affirmative Action is here to stay. To
him it’s always been the forced elevation of minorities and institutionalized reverse
discrimination. Millions of white
proletarian men see it every day in the want ads: EO/AA employer – meaning no
white men need apply.
Opposition to Affirmative Action is divided
at the most critical juncture – on the right.
There are millions of businesses that robustly sustain or are forced to
preserve Affirmative Action outside of the college or university system and
what’s more, they are either indifferent or don’t care because AA doesn’t
affect them. It only affects the
livelihood of employees. Only when
Affirmative Action affected medical school admissions (Bakke Case) on the professions' peripheral of ownership was a ripple of opposition noted. Business ownership is the livelihood of the
Bourgeoisie and perhaps if there was a national moratorium on the issuing of
business licenses until Blacks achieve a certain quota percentage, then
AA would end in a heartbeat.
Until that happens Affirmative Action
is as fashionable to that class of people as tummy tucks, face lifts, and Botox injections are. It’s their way of
assuaging their perceived white guilt and being PC with
their peers. Affirmative Action has
become more than a cottage industry.
It’s a national institution from the top to the bottom of Joe Smuck’s
everyday life. Look at the makeup of the
Supreme Court, the rush to elect America’s first woman President, and the
celebrated efforts to have more Blacks and women in Congress. It’s what the feminization of the military is
all about. It’s about how the Media
staffs itself and wants to be perceived and the means by which another social
gospel and religion of the Left, Diversity, is most flagrantly achieved.
Like trains, the Left, backed by the
Media, makes its social gospels run on schedule. Americans know AA is mostly a black thing,
but women have now piled on expanding its reach. The Sexual Orientation crowd is lining up at
the ticket booth. Soon, homosexuals will demand Affirmative Action (quotas) for
their group. Barring a Supreme Court
decision that outlaws Affirmative Action in its entirety or the untimely end of
the republic itself, this obscene relic of America’s race wars is here to stay. Even so, Joe accepts his role of sacrificial
lamb, but he is hard pressed to conceal his real and disturbing thoughts on the
viability of the system that allowed Affirmative Action in the first place.
