Affirmative Action is a necessary responsibility

Well now you have just gone too far critisizing my beloved government, and if you would quit throwing arguments in my face I wouldn't be so vengeful. Your discussion of how to "improve" the criminal injustice system, a system built entirely on vengeance, is particularly amusing in the light of your comments on vengeance. Is someone using my identity, claiming the government had nothing to do with institutionalizing hate? Am I in the wrong debate? I can only address real things I said, not imaginary ones or things I did not say. I gather from your diatribe that it is important to you that it be established that the government contributes in some way to inequality. Well duh. Upping the ante: Normally Affirmative Action means the giving of peferences but if you want it to mean any governmental enforcement of equality then well you asked for it you got it. You are offering up your leg to save your arm. I must thank you also for forfeiting your round and instead choosing to argue my side. You raised points I would have raised. The government, in its partnership with Big Evil, is indeed even far worse than you say. I don't know exactly what is happening, but someone seems to be influencing government, probably peddling influence using money stolen from the poor. Every act of the government further institutionalizes its evil, especially hate, especially racism. In fact racism and classism are exactly what the government is all about. It is selling and we are buying: Divide and Conquer. http://www.finitesite.com... In its insane war against the poor of the world, by support of suppressive military regimes throughout the world placed there for the convenience of stealing their natural resources, by ruinous fiscal policies forced upon the Third World by IMF and World Bank, by "Don't ask, don't tell" in the military, by spending programs that take money from the poor and give to the rich, by establishing toxic waste zones in minority neighborhoods, by neglecting the health and education of poor people, by cutting back on desperately needed social programs, by its trade agreements, by importing drugs to our inner cities via the CIA, by invading Third World countries that seem to have a handle on democracy, by waging war on any sort of reform movement, by using military force against those who gather peacefully to demand redress of grievances, by extravagant bailouts to the rich, by its repressive police forces that defend the property of the rich above human life, the Military Industrial Complex, in fact is there anything else the government does other than promote hate (besides despoil the environment and promote starvation of course)? Asking the government to do anything is to ask for more of the same. The government is incapable of being anything else than what it is. It is a hate machine. It is a hate machine because there are those who want it to be one, and to do the things they are too squeamish to even look at. Such as. http://www.mysanantonio.com... This is continuing because we continue to tolerate it every second. We continue to build police memorials so little boys will want to be cops. We continue to send them to Hate School. We apparently get our politicians and judges via a similar system. Media. Armed vigilantes. Border Patrol vehicles mysteriously pulling up right behind routine traffic stops but of only certain of our friends and neighbors who are disappearing. This is the most oppressed group in America today. They live in constant terror. They are beyond terrified to leave their homes because our armed thugs now have unlimited power and can break down doors with no problem. This is how we treat their children. They can be given all the preferences in hiring and education you please since it is illegal to hire or educate them anyway. It's a freebie. What a great solution. They will be lucky to live to be educated and hired. What a boon Affirmative Action will be to them. You go tell them then that this is how we make up for it. Hear them snicker in their holding cells. They will learn our hatred from us. This is happening all over the world. We are making enemies far faster than we can kill them. I would say it is a very emotionally charged issue. So what's the solution? Should the situation be addressed by those who are currently addressing it, or by those who caused it? Your answer is indeed puzzling. Perhaps we can get everyone who has ever taken a "role in having enforced inequality in the past," as you put it, including religion, big business, the UN, Israel, the Olympic Organizing Committee, France, The Christian Militia, Idi Amin, Rush Limbaugh, Fox News, the KKK, Marge Schott, the paramilitary groups, Italy, Ron Paul, Jetta the Hut, the corporations and organized crime to pitch in as well. Hell, I probably contributed to the problem. The truth is that we are all guilty and we must all provide the solution. We must be the solution. Not by demanding that others change. By changing ourselves. http://www.realchange.org... http://www.finitesite.com... Many are working for equality. We should listen to them. They deserve a shot. They are the ones who can educate us, and our children, to learn and teach love instead of hate. Children learn to hate somewhere, and to love somewhere. We are the ones who will decide which.
