okay,
i'm back at it in a big way, y'all...
i really want CLARENCE THOMAS to recognize what is really going on in this country. as long as we have SYSTEMATIC racism and discrimination, there will always be a need for AFFIRMATIVE ACTION. so long as there are people who are disadvantaged based on statuses they were ascribed to by virtue of their birth, we need mechanisms to ensure that they have the same opportunities as those priviliged classes in society. NOW, as one of the greatest benefactors of ALL TIME from having AFFIRMATIVE ACTION, how DARE your little black behind forget how you got to the supreme court! and don't you dare quote FREDERICK DOUGLAS in explaining why you voted against AFF. Action.-- that's some kind of blasphemy! talking abou "black people need to pull themselves up by the boot straps"... as they said on the tom joyner morning show-- CLARENCE WOULDN'T EVEN HAVE BOOTS IF IT WEREN'T for AFFIRMATIVE ACTION!

Ditto!!!!!
