Fact 1: The majority of rich powerful Americans are white.

Fact 2: The majority of white Americans are not rich or powerful.

Fact 3: "Equality of opportunity" is NOT the law in America.

The laws known collectively as "Affirmative Action" give discriminatory precedence to some people by race, and gives all so promoted precedence over the same racially-discriminated group: white men. It is not a move toward racial justice, but instead is a sacrifice of the rights of certain white people done to pander to the minorities’ desire for revenge against the ancestors of today’s whites. But in the name of justice, and for the purpose of organizing the so-called minority races into manipulable voting masses, the rich whites gave away not their jobs, but the jobs of the lower class whites. That heinous law has stripped working-class whites of a most precious American heritage, that same heritage which white social activists have gone to such trouble to guarantee to others: the right to compete for the advantages of success in America with equal opportunity, without discrimination against them for race or color.

Open competition may not always produce racially-equal results. Do you suppose Marvin Hagler, Sugar Ray Leonard, and Mike Tyson are where they are because of Affirmative Action? The boxing equivalent of Affirmative Action would be a law which obligates white boxers to take a dive in the first round if they are up against a minority boxer...any minority boxer.

In City, State, or any government-related job, it means when a white man applies, any applicant of the right minority race is given "cuts" ahead of him. Where tax-payer-funded "internships" will pay half a job’s wage if the employer will hire from a minority race, employers will go looking for an applicant, and agree to teach him the job before they will pay the full wage to hire a white man, regardless of his qualifications, or how hard he worked to acquire them.

If Affirmative Action is as the Congress and the Justices have said, the fair, just, and lawful thing to do down at the working class level, then let’s see how they like it! In the name of Affirmative Action, we should dispense with the Presidential election! Why not? To fulfill their mandatory "quotas", they have dispensed with the fair employee-qualifying process in labor. And let us not forget: so far 100% of the holders of that Job have been white men, and a mandatorily-imposed quota of even one percent would at this point obligate the Electoral College to select the "best qualified ethnic-minority candidate". We could just save the American people all that money, and free the TV sets of politics the whole year in favor of the ball games we find so much more important anyway, by invoking the law of Affirmative Action, and just giving the job to the first applicant of the politically-correct minority group who shows up.

"We might not get the best man that way," some might object. So? When a quota must be filled by a minority at the working-class level, the competence of any non-minority candidate is irrelevant. Why should it be different in The White House? In the name of equal Affirmative Action at all class levels, let us demand that Jesse Jackson -- or Michael Jackson -- be given the job of President, without election or other quota-irrelevant process, because of his race.
