The Promotional Whitewash
June 29, 2009 Affirmitive Action, Race
If you have ever had a debate with well-to-do racial or gender Marxists, you will find that they often protest at the idea that white men could ever be discriminated against in any significant way. They can’t be bothered empathizing. They want to help the underdog. Because they’re soooooo wonderful.
Leaving aside the many other significant and deleterious effects that affirmative action has upon our society, the reality is that affirmative action disproportionately comes out of the hide of the lower classes.
Who is Frank Ricci? And why was he so determined to get promoted instead of offering his future as a sacrifice to the insatiable black hole of redressing historical grievances? Isn’t he a patriotic person? Is he a Klansman?
Well..not quite. George Will explains that Ricci…,
had prepared for the exams by quitting his second job, buying the more than $1,000 worth of books the city recommended, paying to have them read onto audiotapes — he is dyslexic — and taking practice tests and interviews. His efforts earned him the sixth-highest score.
No wonder this man was so infuriated that he didn’t get what he had coming to him when the city of New Haven scuttled the test scores.
So you may be wondering…what’s the Jewish issue here? Well, I wish there wasn’t one. I wish it was a stretch. But there is one, and it’s critical. Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg. Ginsburg dissented, noting, “they had no vested right to promotion. Nor have other persons received promotions in preference to them.”
But that’s simply not true. It was a promotional whitewash. How can Ginsburg claim differently?

Ginsburg is just trying to claim that civil rights don’t apply to whitey. Move along, nothing to see here, except more of the same race hustling.
Back in med school we had a “sensitivity afternoon” in which we were lectured to by a black homosexual social worker about how racism is all about power. White people have power, therefore they are racist. Minorities don’t have power, therefore they’re not. And if they demand special privileges based on gender and skin colour? They’re “resisting” oppression because whenever the white guy gets the job, it’s racist.
You can’t argue with them.
Garnel, Was that in Canada? Did anyone complain?
It was in Canada and no, of course, no one complained. But by the halfway point about half the group had “gone to the bathroom” and never returned, myself included.
Those of us in New Haven are totally thrilled by all the attention we’ve been getting in the media. First we became a city of refuge for undocumented residents, then ICE came, and now this. To think that back before all that, we thought IKEA coming to town was big excitement…
http://www.newhavenindependent....._cou_1.php will give you an idea of how the story’s playing out here.
Just to be clear- the first paragraph above was meant to be sarcastic.
