Martin Luther Jr. Day

Here we are again, another day celebrating special rights here in America. I just cannot understand why we Americans still put up with all of the "affirmitive action prejudice" that still exists. Martin Luther Jr. wanted EQUAL rights, not SPECIAL rights. So why is it that you are still asked for a racial profile when you get a loan or try to rent a house? Its to make sure they are not discriminating against someone. Ya know, it shouldnt even matter. Especially when the application is done over the phone.

What this does is allow minorities, and I say minorities because thats the "politically correct term" for it, to gain special rights over the majority. Example:

Two high school students apply for the exact same student scholorship. The applications are IDENTICAL except the fact one student is of the majority and the other is of a minority. Well it just so happens that this particular lender has not met there quota of minorities. Not because they were being prejudice but because mostly majorities applied and met the terms of the scholorship. They have one spot open so they give it to the minority to help fill there quotient to be politically correct.

Not only does the above hold true, you are allowed by law to have an "African-American ONLY" scholorship and not allowed to have a "White-American ONLY" scholorship. The latter is against the law. How is that not special rights?

Two adults are applying for a government job. They both have the proper qualifications and similar backgrounds except, again, one is of the majority and the other is of the minority. Unfortunately for this "majority adult", this government agency only has 40% minority working for it so it needs to bump up its percentage. It hires the minority.

Now given those two scenarios above. How can one not see that as prejudice based on color? The current affirmative action laws on our books PROMOTE prejudice based on social status. Majority or Minority.

Once you move past the affirmative action of jobs and scholorships there is additional special rights for minorities.

I'm going to use White Male in this example as it appears to the government as the Alpha Majority. A White Man wants to start up a small business. He haves a hard time because he is paying 100% of everything. On the flipside an African American Woman can apply for not only 1 special category but TWO. They can file there business with the status of "Minority Owned" and "Woman Owned". What this does is not only give them "discounts" with there vendors but pull with there customers to buy from them instead of that White Man. Both companies sell the exact same product, have the exactly same sales technique but in order to fill an invisible quota, the buyer buys from the "Woman owned Minority Business."

As you can see, I think this is all bunk. What we have gone and done is create a special rights status for everyone but the white man. In essence, its prejudice against him. Our government is ACTIVELY ALLOWING PREJUDICE against that class of our citizens right now.

If you were born a minority: black, green, purple what have you and/or a female, your life in the world will be easier because apparently our US Gvernment doesnt think you have what it takes to be successful.

What do I suggest? Get the special rights laws off the books or make them truly equal rights. Make it fair to everyone, not just a sub-class of Americans. Once you give one sub-class of Americans an edge, it is no longer equal rights. He had a dream, unfortunately, it has yet to come true.
