Perspective Matters 0
In the middle of a response to one of George Will’s typically muddled attempts to make contemporary conservatism to appear to have some foundation other than greed and bigotry, Allen Starbuck delivers this gem:
Affirmative action was then known as segregation (less euphemistic than affirmative action), and protected whites from competition by blacks, not only in the educational world, but the job market. There were always a few blacks who achieved professional status and well-paid jobs, but they were always a small minority because of segregation, whether legal or merely customary.
Think about it.
Full Disclosure:
I stopped reading George Will regularly a long time ago. After a while, watching someone repeatedly putting lipstick on a succession of pigs gets old.
