Affirmative Action Banned!

My state (Michigan) has wisely followed in the foosteps of California and banned racist/sexist affirmative action programs in Michigan, that would have discriminated against people based on nothing but their gender or the color of their skin, all in the name of promoting equality.  

It passed by a pretty wide margin 58% - 42% of the vote.. or, another way of looking at it: 

2,137,574  ---  YES on stopping AA
1,552,459  ---  NO on stopping AA

Hopefully this'll spread like wildfire throughout the rest of the states.

K, that's cool. Except I'm not just one of those "pro-affirmative action people" obviously. My opinion on the matter of equality and the inherant fallacy of reverse discrimination merely extends itself into AA because it's the only instance that I've seen where whites are discriminated against. The very notion of a 'wipe the slate clean' style of racial harmony is a fallacy, as well. It's not equality that'll heal us; it's justice. And whatever discrimination whites indure due to AA is entirely justified due to the racial disparity in this "free, fair, democratic" country.

So...what? I still don't understand how you automatically assume I'm unemployed. Are you sure you're not a racist?

The notion is cute and novel, no doubt. But there's are white people sitting in offices knowing full well they are unworthy of their positions and no one is discussing that. Just take a look at the president. You don't even know the meaning of the word "token".

My implication isn't that blacks need special treatment. It's that if there's going to be unchecked discrimination in this country, then for anyone to be truly equal- whites are going to have to be victims of that too. Blacks and others minorities are victims of it because of instances in history and perpetuating cultural memes. As a part of dismantling white privilege; whites have to be included in that.

People have been pushing the 'equality/love your neighbor' stuff for ages and if you take a good look at the sentiments and statistics you'll realize that it's not working. People, in the end, don't care for equality per se'. They care about some notion of justice. If you can't wrap your head around, then too bad. Go live in the weeaboo matrix, or whatever the fuck you nerds do.
