This is the type of stuff that really gets me upset. Everyone knows the Republican position on Affirmative Actiona and how they have come up with this farse of "reverse racism", as if that could really happen in THIS country with IT's demographics, history and power structure. Ever since the Grutter case (the Michigan Law School case decided by the Sup. Ct. in 2001) came down, repubs have been aching to try to identify situations of what they call reverse racism to make their point. It's rediculous.
I think they should have let him in. After he saw what the organization was actually about and the issues they seek to address and after he, AS A MEMBER, would have been called on to aid in those initiatives, I bet he would have quickly become, what we in the GLOs call "an inactive member". Dude knows he would not have been out there trying to secure additional funds for education, programs designed to assist inner city youth and parents, increased access to health care, community development for low-income and economically depressed areas, higher wages for low-skilled workers, increased incentives for businesses which would lower property taxes and free up more disposable income for lower class families, etc. etc. etc. But, hey who knows, maybe he was the one republican out there who genuinely is interested in the plight of the underrepresented, marginalized group of people in our country. Oh, sorry, in the wake of all these natural disasters we've been witnessing, I thought hell had frozen over too.
