Chief Justice Roberts - Stupid as he Looks

Parents Involved in Community Schools v. Seattle School District No. 1, No. 05-908, is the most historic Supreme Court decision of the 2007 session. It will be the precedent to not only move back employment and educational opportunities of African-Americans, but has already made race relations worse than they already are.

"The way to stop discrimination on the basis of race is to stop discriminating on the basis of race."

The above quote is from:

a) David Duke
b) The KKK
c) The Aryan Nations
d) Chief Justice Roberts
e) All of the above

"E" is the correct answer of course. This crazyass line of reasoning has been used by every racist and Right-wing talking head since Affirmative Action began in the late 1970’s. It’s one of those statements that is meant to be read without thinking, for the less one thinks the truer it becomes. Most everything the Radical Right and the Libertarian Party injects into our political discourse suffers the same silliness. A superficial philosophical truism that does not translate into the actual world we reside in.

The most important Supreme Court decision in this century has now been torn asunder. John Paul Stevens, Ruth Bader Ginsberg and David H. Souter signed on to Stephen Breyers dissent.

“Unless our children begin to learn together, there is little hope that our people will ever learn to live together… The last half-century has witnessed great strides toward racial equality, but we have not yet realized the promise of Brown, to invalidate the plans under review is to threaten the promise of Brown. The plurality’s position, I fear, would break that promise. This is a decision that the Court and the nation will come to regret.”

More Blacks have joined the middle class through Affirmative Action than from any other historic event. All Fortune 500 companies have such plans which they all say not only increases profit regarding public relations by having a multi-cultural workforce, but that those hired through Afffirmative Action plans have preformed as well or better than everyone else.
