Time for Affirmative Action to Go?
Grace and Peace to you.
As I examine the decision about Affirmative Action, I raise an eyebrow at what Clarence Thomas wrote about in his dissenting briefs about affirmative action.
He quoted an 1865 speech by Frederick Douglass. In the speech, Douglass said that Americans always had been anxious about what to do with black people:
"I have had but one answer from the beginning. Do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us. Do nothing with us!
"If the apples will not remain on the tree of their own strength, if they are worm-eaten at the core, if they are early ripe and disposed to fall, let them fall!"
I do agree with this idea. It makes alot of sense.
What do you think?
