Racism: The Politically Correct Way.

Today, we can hear a hollow cry echoing across the land. This is the death scream of the average white male in American society. As a white male; I have to work twice as hard to advance at a normal pace with my minority peers. Because most of the scholarships are slated for minorities, I have to work my own way thru school. Why should I now get discriminated against simply for the sins of my ancestors? While on this, did my ancestors even do any of the crimes that I am paying so dearly for?

The recent speaker of the House of Representatives, Newt Gingrich, worded it best in his lecture series that was so highly scrutinized. “One of the great struggles of our time: Do we really mean
advancement on one’s merits, which is Everett Carll Ladd’s term, or do we mean group advancement? You deserve extra points because of your ethnic background, because of your sex, because of your origins? Which is it? Now, Ladd argues
unequivocally the American tradition is that you are a unique individual. You are not bounded by your past, and that every American should be dealt with as an individual and should advance based on their work, their merit. --Newt Gingrich, from renewing American Civilization lectures. Reinhardt College, Waleska, Georgia & from “Newt” by Dick Williams pg. 17.” This rings from the past Martin L. King JR speech “I Have a Dream” in which King dreams of a time when people will not be judged by the color of their skin but the content of their character.

When you have present day figures like Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson running to every possible race problem to make sure no matter what the facts of the matter are, that the minorities are seen as the victim. As the truth then comes out in some of these cases, claims that the minority was the “victim” are not only unfounded but utterly false, this notifies the rest of America that no matter what the truth is, the minorities are more interested in victim mentality than in true justice for all. This race identity practiced by leaders like Sharpton or Jackson show that minorities are more interested in keeping their racial identities so they can continue to reap benefits above and beyond what the average Anerican gets or deserves. It’s time to stop worrying about race identity and ancestrial actions and start being united Americans.

Recently racial profiling has become a hot button issue. While I do not feel some one should be harassed simply by their race, when it comes to certain thing like airline flight, I’m sorry but some people are simply more likely to be a terrorist and should be searched just a little more thoughly. People driving thru a certain area that either do not belong or are acting strange should be checked out. We have a desperate war on drugs we are losing too quickly. It’s time to stop it by what ever means are required within the limits set forth by the constitution and the bill of rights.

I’m not going to get totally on a soap box and declare love the country or leave it, but it does bring up some food for thought. If you feel you are so discriminated against and have no chance for fair freedoms or that this country is so misguided and evil. Why not go to where you think you can find these better freedoms. I think most people will find the grass truly is not greener over there, where ever over there is. We enjoy far more freedoms and social programs for the betterment of all Americans than any other country in the world.

It is time to wipe out the race hate, both old and new, and the causes of it. Affirmative action is using quotas to
prevent an even playing field, there by perpetuating the problem that it was enacted to prevent. Scholarships should not be based on genetics, but upon scholastic qualifications. Hiring and advancement should not be based upon quotas but upon work qualities, personal merit, and professional qualifications. Housing loans should not be subsidized solely on a person’s race, but upon their
financial need. We are all Americans. Our diversity is our strength, but if we do not stand together as Americans, then we shall fall apart exactly as Bosnia did.
