Toward a more honest discussion of race | Washington Examiner

The Washington Examiner has a needed piece asking for honesty on race, not racism disguised as 'diversity' or as 'anti-racism' which is what is par for the course in America today. The only complaint is that they didn't touch the Georgia-Sherrod affair which has enough stupid racism mud to cover everyone involved right to left. But if we can't get back to MLK's 1963 vision, we will tear our nation apart.

Toward a more honest discussion of race | Washington Examiner: "he reality is that instead of upholding a colorblind society, the federal government has for decades imposed a multitude of racial preferences throughout the economy, especially in the areas of employment and contracting. For example, Neil Barofsky, special inspector general for the Troubled Asset Relief Program, found that the Obama administration used race and gender as criteria to decide which auto dealerships would be closed.

Then there's the Democrats' Dodd-Frank financial regulation bill, which mandates race- and gender-based hiring quotas for government agencies, private companies and subcontractors who do business with the government, and creates a raft of new Multicultural Mafia bureaucrats to enforce them. As Examiner Columnist Diana Furchtgott-Roth points out, the new law affirmatively requires discrimination on the basis of race. Surely the hypocrisy of defending such policies while branding as racist those who disagree with them is obvious. But until such hypocrisy becomes a thing of the past, the national dialogue on racial issues will be crippled and incomplete."
