Affirmative Action is Racism

"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 Jr.

Sorry King, you're dream will have to wait.

Whether the color of your skin matches the hue of the majority or not is still a consideration employers have before hiring someone.  Simply put, instead of people being denied employment because they are a minority or female, we've started denying people employment if they're a majority or male.  How is one less racist than the other?  


Affirmative action is hurting our economy, by accelerating unqualified people through the ranks based on their skin color.  Michael Steele is a good example.  This retard has wasted tons of RNC donor money, and caught in a few scandals, because he wasn't qualified for the job.  The republicans felt they needed a response from a "black man" to keep from appearing racist while opposing Barack Obama.  So, instead of looking at who they had based on qualifications, they made their decision based on race.  Now they have an idiot who says he has a "slimmer margin" because he's black.  The same garbage Obama throws out there when things get sticky:  The Race Card.  

How can making a decision to hire someone based on race not be considered racist?  I feel like I'm taking crazy pills, doesn't anyone else see it?

Not only is affirmative action racist, it proliferates racism.  EVERY single place I've ever worked has one thing in common.  All of the white people think the black employees are there simply to make a quota, and have no real skill.  It doesn't matter if the black man is the best worker there, the assumption is affirmative action put him there.


Sadly, the Republicans have decided to join the Democrats in this racist practice, and are even dumb enough to apologize for "racist tea-partiers" even when there is no evidence of such.  


It's a sick, sad world, where we're still more worried about the color of skin, instead of the content of character.

The Racism of the Left

Now, the story posted below is what sparked this post.  It's a chance to analyze the thought process behind left's actions.  To really get at the heart of the issue, you'll have to go all the way back to the Lincoln days, when the biggest battle-line drawn between Republicans & Democrats was slavery.  Some may be shocked to realize that the Democratic Party fought the abolition of slavery at every turn.  Some will try to tell you it was about state's rights, but let's face it.  It was about money.  The south had become so dependent on slavery to work the fields it would've been economic disaster for them.  In the end, they were proven right.  Once the war was over, the south was devastated.  War-torn, and having to adjust to the difficulty of paying for labor, the south took very long to recover.  The Republican Party emancipated the slaves, keep that in mind.

Fast forward to present day.  Now the parties are very different, but if you look closely, you'll see democrats are truly racist.  What other mentality can explain telling black people they're equal, but they need more help than white people to achieve through affirmative action?  How is that equality?  They're trying to bridge the achievement gap (supposedly), but all they end up doing is perpetuating a cycle of poverty.  I think all sane people could agree on this point: 

The reason capitalism works so well is that it allows the best and brightest in their fields to rise to the top of the system and benefit the most.  Contribute more, benefit more.  Contribute less, benefit less.  That's the nature of the beast that was powerful enough to catapult the US past all other nations including the mighty USSR as a world super-power.  Capitalism can only be weakened when this logic is abandoned. 

When people start worrying about race quotas instead of quality employees, their business will suffer.  Because now, instead of just looking at credentials and skills, they're forced to consider the color of your skin.  We all know the color of your skin has nothing to do with how well you can do the job, so why are we considering it?  This can only hurt a capitalist economy, and I believe that may be happening in the US.  It's certainly happening in higher education.  Schools are so worried about maintaining diversity, they basically reject people based on race.  If you think it's okay because these people being rejected happen to be white, you don't believe in Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s dream.

I'm sure most on the left have the best of intentions, but have failed to see how insulting affirmative action is to black people, and unfair to whites at the same time.
