This particular thread was about affirmative action and the pos by one party tried to tell us and others that white women are the benefit of this policy more than any other and therefore it is a racist policy. Another individual was upset by this comment and the argument ensued. Now I like and approve of open debate of any subject it is how we learn, and I will chime in on this subject also but I will do it here in my column.
Affirmative action is a racist policy but not because of the recipient of the policies actions but simple because one race or gender is given preferential treatment over another and completely disregards ability and history. One cannot make up for the racial issues of this nation nor can we create an even playing field with racially motivated laws. To eradicate racism as an issue this nation needs to eliminate the ability to use race or gender in any form in the hiring process or the creation of pay scale. If a black man is better at a job then give him the job but if a white man is better do the same. Take race off the table as a motivating factor in all cases.
Now having said that this country has the first amendment which states we as a people have the right to think and speak our minds as we see fit. Unfortunately some people dwell on these racial issues but they have the right given to them by God to speak their opinion no differently then Worldview has a right to print its opinion, but remember we also have a right not to listen too or read what offends us. If what others say offends you do not give them your support but please do not attack them in any way, they are human beings with the same rights you have.
