Tuesday, January 21, 2003 ya know, it's funny,when affirmative action was a white male only, one way street, many of its current detractors were a-o-fucking-k with whole idea. just peachy with it were most of these folks, actually. the fact that women and minorities were excluded from education, the political process, the right to private property, the judicial process, etc... for well, ever rumpled a precious few eyebrows amongst the ol' boy elite. the women, the catholics, the jews, the irish, the chinamen, the poles, the mexicans, the goddamned negroes had no place in polite society and should be damned grateful for the benevolence showed them at any given time. many people marched, fought and died to dissuade them from that opinion. every disenfranchised group in the history of this nation, every goddamned one, (ask women, the native americans, the "negroes", the irish, catholics, the "chinamen", the italians, the germans, the homosexuals, and countless more) have had to fight tooth and nail, often enduring horrible violence and public persecution, to finally assert their rights as citizens. it's a horrifically ugly history with a shamefully long and detailed index. lord, forgive us. then my president, a man i despise regardless, a man who could possibly be the most perfect poster child for privelege and preferential treatment one could potentially muster shows up at the university of michigan to tell the nation that the university's policy of allocating slots to its law school which does, indeed, factor race in to its calculations, is "unfair". this from a man who should know all about such things as getting in to yale with piss poor grades, having your dui/coke bust disappear, getting a much coveted spot in the air national guard (defending texas from.... ...mexico?) only to go AWOL for a year , having your pop's friends bail you out of every hare-brained business venture you ever drove straight in to the goddamned ground and having your pop's political cronies (s)elect you to be president of the united states. i would say that he must have some amazing courage to question such policies given his silver spoon past, but i just don't think he's even conscious of such hypocrisy. the worst thing i can say about the man, the most damning thing, is that after all of this, he still thinks he deserved it all. wow. posted by downtown | 3:51 AM |
