re: fighting over affirmative action.
"Jim Crow laws mandated that public officials take account of race and treat people differently because of it, while Michigan’s current law mandates that public officials not take account of race and, instead, treat everyone the same."

Can this possibly be true? Affirmative action is all about treating everyone the same. Well, maybe in the same way that Procrustes, from Greek mythology, treated everyone the same. Ask the high achieving Asian students if they feel they are being treated the same. Ask the white males who have 4.0 gpa in pre-med and get turned down for medical school in favor of a minority student with a 2.9 gpa. What does this comment say about the author of the story and about those on the side of race based quotas? Do they truely not understand their bigotry or do they fully understand it but are willng to do whatever is necessary to achieve their goals? In this way how are they any different from the grand wizard Robert Byrd? Different race; same goals. The entire race based industry has co-opted the KKK in it's goals, actions and rhetoric. You think not? Where are the lynchings? Well everyday it seems another black mob assaults or kills a white family but our media refuses to publish these uncomfortable truths. But how is the race based Mafia connected to what some thigs do? Well the purpose of the race pimps is to rabble rouse for fun and profit. How many whites have been killed by blacks "for Trayvon"? And why? The why is simple enough, people like Jessie Jackson and Al Sharpton hyped that incident, inflamed passions, told lies, pushed the ignorant and angry into action and what was the result? Are people any more or less dead from being beaten for being white or beaten for being black? The death toll from the race based Mafia and the black thugs each year exceeds the deaths attributed to the Democrat created KKK in their entire period of existence. I guess you could say the Democrats are getting better at this with time and experience. It makes Alan Grayson's recent comments about the KKK quite ironic don'tcha think?
