Reverse Racism Struck Down In Buffalo

Twelve white firefighters won over $2.5 million from the city of Buffalo, NY. Buffalo had engaged in 'preference promotions' pitting black firefighters against white firefighters based primarily, and solely on race.

The 'liberal' premise behind quotas, set-asides, and affirmative-action is flawed. Two wrongs do not make a right, a truth lost on the defective liberal mind.

The men contended they were passed over though they were more qualified, and had better testing scores. The city wanted to promote minorities, though the minority candidates had not scored well on the tests.  The city of Buffalo was wrong.

The era of preferences must end. Discrimination is destructive even if rationalized in the name of rectifying past wrongs. The ugly era of Jim Crow was tragic. The new era of Jane Crow is not the answer.

After 45 years, it is time to accept everyone on the same basis, and make the eye blind to skin color. Martin Luther King was not calling for reverse racism, he was calling for an end to racism. His wise words that children "will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character" applies to all kids, not just minority kids.
