It really is amusing, racial spoils.
Honesty, common sense, rule of law. None of that matters.
The maintenance of a system which by its very definition is an insult to equality, is all that matters.
This is part of a column by George F. Will of the Washington Post on an upcoming ballot initiative in Missouri.
Missouri law requires the secretary of state to draft a summary of an initiative, which appears on the ballot "in the form of a question using language neither intentionally argumentative nor likely to create prejudice either for or against the proposed measure." The following, not the MoCRI language quoted above, is what the state's Democratic secretary of state and Democratic attorney general proposed to put on the ballot:
"Shall the Missouri Constitution be amended to: Ban affirmative action programs designed to eliminate discrimination against, and improve opportunities for, women and minorities in public contracting, employment and education; and allow preferential treatment based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin to meet federal program funds eligibility standards as well as preferential treatment for bona fide qualifications based on sex?"
Got that?
They must think we are all stupid.
