The Great White Way
Debra Dickerson could have ended this piece after this statement:
"...more Americans will come to accept that race is an arbitrary system for establishing hierarchy and privilege, good for little more than doling out the world's loot and deciding who gets to kick whose butt and then write epic verse about it."
My inclination is to go with oft used text abrv8shn "LOL'd" when I read this comment. But what happened way beyond LOL. I let rip with a good, old fashioned GUFFAW on this one.
Actually, I am glad she continued with treatise because then we get:"...current discussions about affirmative action refer to events that took place seven, rather than four, decades ago, when it wasn't called affirmative action but business as usual. He's frustrated by the anemic arguments of his liberal allies, who rely on the most tenuous, least defensible of grounds—diversity—while their opponents invoke color blindness, merit, and the Constitution. In short, affirmative action can't be wrong now when it was right—and white—for so long."
I just got some time, recently to catch up on the Mojo (Mother Jones) Blog. This post is one of the reasons Ms. Dickerson is my "blidol" (blog idol) even when I disagree with her.
