Racism Imposed From the Bench

Written By : Dave Blount

So much for people being judged by the content of their character. Our president was chosen primarily for his skin color; U.S. District Judge Ivan L.R. Lemelle in Louisiana has ruled that the same should hold true for school board members:

A federal judge ordered the Tangipahoa Parish School Board this week to hire qualified black applicants for administrative positions until 40 percent of these positions are held by black educators, court records show.

Blacks make up only 29% of Tangipahoa Parish’s population.

Lemelle has imposed his racial preferences from the bench before:

Last year, Lemelle ordered the School Board to hire a black coach who had been passed over for a job opening at Amite High School.

Say a candidate for an administrative job in the schools of Lemelle’s fiefdom has no qualifications whatsoever other than the one that matters, black skin. The superintendent can refuse to recommend him, but…

If the superintendent does not recommend a black applicant for a position, he must submit written reasons to a committee made up of the chief desegregation plan implementation officer, director of personnel and minority recruitment officer.

This committee then may interview the rejected applicant and decide whether to recommend that person to the School Board anyway.

The objective of course is “diversity” — that is, naked anti-Caucasian racism.

On a tip from Andrea. Cross-posted at Moonbattery.

BIG

I think it would be more practical if a judge orders the next head of the Chicago School Board should be able to swim.

/OK. It is a tasteless joke on my part.

Since your premise is false, any conclusion you draw from it is also not true.

Oh, c’mon, NC, surely up there in the GWN, the home of Health Canada, you’ve seen a make-work government boondoggle title before this.

Unless you are committed to reinforcing the mistakes that others make, you have no reason to argue that we will commit the same mistakes.

Is your position that we cannot learn from the mistakes of others?

Not nesceassarily and not in this case. This judge is showing classic examples of racism. Unless you can justify his actions in a legal context that justifies blatant racism.

I can’t say you are wrong. YOu may be right.

BUt that’s long way from saying that our President was elected because of racism. Which is how this thread started.

It’s Van Helsing who is confusing the issue….

He was elected primarily for his skin color, Miller, and when you have a moment of honesty you’ll agree. Is that bad? I dunno, if he hadn’t been such a radical chicago machine leftist, I probably would have voted for him primarily because it would shut the pie hole of a lot of people who claim the US is such a bigoted mess of racist rednecks. I like the idea of a black president, it is one of those classic and purely American themes: your kid can grow up to be president, no matter who you are.

Now, if you can try to deal with the actual post at hand pointing out how grossly bigoted and intentionally racist this judge’s decision is, that would be nice for a change.

Since your premise is false

Then prove it false. If you can.

Go ahead, refute Van Helsing’s premise. Make him eat his words. I dare you.

any conclusion you draw from it is also not true.

This, of course, is pure nonsense. As they say on TV Tropes, You Fail Logic Forever.

It is bad…if you think that is true.

My moment of honesty does not reflect well on those who think that Pres. Obama is in his position because of his color.

Your insistance that he might be President because of color does not endear me to the conservative arguement.

I imagine so. Liberals do seem to have a habit of lashing out at the messenger when confronted with an uncomfortable truth.

Unless it’s fantasy….in which case we tend to ridicule it.

Don’t be a fool, Miller. You are smarter than that.

Of course Obama is predisent because he is black. Whithout even touching on the fact that many, many people (especially in minority communities) admitted in polls that they supported his primarilly due to his race and that many others voted for him out of White guilt (ie to prove to themselves that they were not racist…a sort of “reverse Bradley effect” if you will), Obama got away with alot of things during the campaign at least in part due to his race. He spouted off openly racist comments (“typical White person” anyone?) and his twenty year membership in a racist church was treated like a non-issue.

A White candidate who said things like “typical black people” and was known to have attended a church with a White Nationalist preacher and agenda would have been subject to (pardon my choice of phrase) a vitual lynching in the media, and you would have been one of those howling for his blood. Such a candidate would have not stood a chance and would probably been forced to resign after these facts came out. Obama got a pass at least partly because of his race.

Miller, nothing anyone says on the conservative side endear you or even remotely gets you to question what you believe. Especially about President Obama. Why even pretend otherwise?

Unbelievable as it may seem…you all have educated me much more about conservative thought than I could have gotten in college, I think.

Though I do disagree with conservatives vicerally….I am a liberal, after all,…that does not mean I don’t respect the other side.

Why even pretend? It’s a good question.

When I came to this site, I wanted to learn…about conservative thinking. And I did. I’d venture to say that if I took on a conservative alter-ego I could fool most of the posters here into thinking I was a new conservative poster.

I’ve learned alot….but I’m not about to try such a stunt. On the other hand….it would be foolish to abandon my main mission in posting on this site…

I’d like to know on what basis liberals and conservatives can agree on national issues.

So far, I’m not encouraged.

We he certainly wasn’t elected based on his experience, ability to bring people together, intellect, or honesty. Oh wait, I know….he was elected to pay my gas and my mortgage. Get a grip miller. He was elected to be the first black president. Havent you noticed the complete lack background info on him?

There’s not much hope until the left stop abandoning sense and reason and embracing madness. We agree on goals, we just disagree on how to reach them.

And the divide is because of a basic disagreement in worldview. The left thinks people are basically decent and that justice and equality are measured in material goods, that there is nothing except this world and things you can measure and experience with your senses.

The right knows otherwise.
