Just say NO to racial
preference programs
|
The promise of "diversity" is that people of many different
backgrounds, interests, nationalities, religions, and philosophies will
work together in a university or place of employment. The usual strong
implication, or occasional stated reason, is that
because of their inherent differences, a diverse population possesses
complementary skills and experience, and the resulting whole
unit would be stronger.
Who could oppose such a Utopia?
The reality is a far cry from the above. The problem is that
"diversity" does not really mean the above. Diversity is
a code word, a euphemism for a racial preference system where chosen
minority groups are given preferences because of their skin color. The
gentle veneer of the word 'diversity' shrouds an illegal,
dishonest, and hypocritical racial agenda.
Real people get hurt by diversity. Qualified candidates get passed
over, and unqualified persons get positions beyond their capabilities.
Educations are denied. Excellent businesses never get funded, meaning
jobs don't get created.
Shaky businesses get government guaranteed loans, and they default.
Careers and businesses
get ruined. The taxpayers pick up the tab.
The concept of racial preferences goes against the US
Constitution and very essence of our legal system which is based
on the principle that rights adhere in individuals, not in groups.
The 14th
Amendment guarantees equal protection under the law.
Similarly, the idea of "affirmative action" is associated with laudable
beginnings. The concept of affirmative action was
started by President Johnson in a 1965 executive order which requires
federal contactors to "take affirmative action to ensure that
applicants are employed, and that employees are treated during
employment, without regard to their race, creed, color,
or national origin."
Again, the reality is a far different story.
Affirmative Action has
been perverted to become the exact opposite of its original purpose,
which was to prevent and remediate racial
discrimination. Now, it is a vehicle for causing harm and causing
discrimination. The issue of remediation for actual discrimination is
long forgotten. It is now a vestigial organ of policy which provides
for group rights, quotas, and a racial agenda. It is now an illegal way
for certain
favored groups to be given preferences for their skin color. Diversity
has come to mean a racial preference system.
Diversity is also abitrary and capricious because the whole concept of
race is so undefined. What is the clear cut definition of race and how
one qualifies? Whose skin is dark enough? See below article entitled
"DNA Evidence Shows Race
Doesn't Really Exist."
In the seminal book Animal Farm, George Orwell wrote: "All
animals are equal, but some are more equal than others." Orwell's
dystopia has arrived.
- Diversity is anti-merit
- Diversity is racism
- Diversity is hypocrisy
- Diversity is a lie
- Diversity is WRONG!

Conclusion:
The Reverend Martin Luther King Jr. said that people should
be judged by the
content of their character --not the color of their skin. Decades ago,
these civil rights organizations fought to stop discrimination
based on skin color. They also fought for
integration.
Have they
forgotten their own principles?
It appears they have. They have lost the moral high ground as diversity
has become just another government and social entitlement.
We must fight discrimination by any name, even if our opponents sugar
coat it or attempt to disguise it with flowery
words such as "diversity" or "multi-culturalism" or
"pluralism." Discrimination/ diversity/ affirmative action is
a cancer that does real harm to real people by denying them jobs and
educational opportunities.
Diversity signifies a corrupt process.
Although, no one is unsympathetic to the great suffering that
minorities have
endured over our nation's history. However, the solution to old wounds
is not to
simply create a new class of victims.
What is the solution to discrimination?
- Strict enforcement and harsh penalties for violations of
non-discrimination laws.
- Throwing phony diversity in the trash and replacing it
with EXCELLENCE. True diversity is a natural consequence of excellence.
The phony diversity that is promulgated by liberal special interests is
not really diversity, it is pure politics, incredibly shallow
racial preference programs. Instead, let's promote the diversity of
ideas, this is the true diversity that is missing at many liberal
college campuses and other institutions.
Our country, at its best, is a melting pot; it achieves greatness
because of all
of our differences, because we all come together as one. Let's not
become a fractured and warring nation, all fighting for the spoils of
phony diversity.
Let's do what we can to fight diversity, this insidious new form of
racism. Let's get back to our true principles of blind justice, equal
protection, and equal opportunity for all. Let's allow for the
diversity of ideas that come naturally with freedom.
We welcome your ideas.
