Allow me to explain. Affirmative action is under extreme scrutiny and it’s legality and fairness are coming into question in many states and locales. I am not going to comment on the legality or fairness of affirmative action, I will leave that for another rant.<\/p>\n What is clear, though, is that this Initiative is a thinly veiled attempt by the Administration to shore up support for continuing affirmative action as a national policy. This is reflected by the choice of speakers and constant discussion about affirmative action. (See RNC Talking Points<\/a>) It seems that any discussion about an aspect of race relations other than affirmative action is quickly and deftly steered back to affirmative action. This initiative is a fraud and a cruel hoax perpetuated by the Administration on minority and majority people alike, who in their quest for racial tolerance and understanding have embraced the Initiative as a vehicle for these hopes. I too share those hopes. I also sincerely hope that the Initiative finds its way back to it's stated goal, this nation and our children deserve that.
