High court poised to upend civil rights policies!

High court poised to upend civil rights policies!? Voters Rights Act and Affirmative action?

 

Government sponsored racism is the worst kind! Affirmative action used race as a criteria for picking candidates for jobs to insure that minorities got the positions! Voting Rights was gerrymandering to make sure that minority candidates would win elections! All of this is pure racism! Both of these laws have been on the books now for over 40 years, and if their intentions were to make race relations better in this country it has failed miserably!  If their intentions were to fill jobs and political positions with minorities they have succeeded but with a price! Hanging over the head of minority doctors, lawyers, police officers, airplane pilots, and so on is the question that will always linger? Did they get their positions because of affirmative action or were they the best qualified candidate!?  Elected minorities in gerrymandered districts have the same issue, were they the best overall candidate or just the best minority candidate!?   I think the best example of this was when Colin Powell was considering running for President as a Republican, there were those individuals in the Democratic Party insisting that he would not have the position he was in if not for affirmative action! Here we have the Joint Chiefs of Staff in the United States of America with the power to destroy the world at his finger tips and now we have to wonder was he the best candidate for the job!? I have no doubt Colin Powell had all the qualifications to hold that position. But was he picked over just as qualified or more qualified candidates because he was black? Makes you wonder! What will happen if the Supreme Court overturns these laws? Will businesses and schools get rid of their minority candidate list and go back to just selecting the best candidate? Will states change their gerrymandering policies so elections won’t guarantee a minority will win? Have these discrimination policies that replaced the old discrimination policies changed our society for the better? Personally I don’t think so! With white’s becoming the minority in the US now, I think you will see the majority using the same types of discrimination policies against the new white minority! It’s only human nature. 20 or 30 years from now you may see the Voters Rights Act and Affirmative action reinstated for the minority whites!
