Affirmative action made the USA a more bigoted country

Mother Nature discovered the beauty and power of " diversity " millions of years ago. The great cities of the ancient world , in Egypt, Greece, and Rome became truly COSMOPOLITIAN and ethnic Jews thrived in and often prospered and contributed to all of them.

The best of " Western Civilization " is based on selecting all that is good and wise and humanly interesting from many populous places in the world.

"Taking place in a media spotlight, the trial underscores the reactionary and antidemocratic character of affirmative action—a policy that seeks to conceal the class division in society .... "

Of course, an independent thinker could not say this about " affirmative action " even now without being accused of reactionary tendencies.

               Not being the capitalist competitive type I never felt hurt by affirmative action. But I did find it offensive to my DEMOCRATIC instincts from the beginning.

               I did observe that young black scholars - like Barack Obama, for example-
 bright and promising, were made to think of themselves as EXTRAORDINARY by elite Ivy League colleges and universities.

                And true and sad enough white working class males were nearly categorized as the " New-N- Word ".

In movies and on TV Italo-Americans in particular were stereotyped as ignorant , stupid , mob connected, low lifes. Our plutocracy simply must have some groups branded PARIAH.

               And decent pious ordinary Christian Americans were pictured as enemies of all " progressive " causes. Any public display of faith was anathema. But is any sane socialist offended by a prayer on the wall of public high school ( there 50 years ) in Cranston, R.I or a Ten Commandments monument in Roger Williams Park ?

                  In short " identity politics " and AFFIRMATIVE ACTION made the USA a more cruel, ugly and BIGOTED country.
