Affirmative action is a favorite program of liberals. It has been around for 40 years now, but still hasn't succeeded as far as Democrats are concerned. Actually, it has managed to harm white males. Consider that 60% of college students are now women. I think males, particularly white males are becoming obsolete. I notice in the latest economic downturn, unemployment of males has gone up much faster than that of females. It has always seemed to me that liberals and Democrats do not want equal opportunity, they want equal outcome. Given the IQ difference between races (something liberals deny exists, despite mountains of data) equal outcome cannot be achieved without government intervention. Our liberal entertainment industry produces TV shows that depict men as lazy, stupid, criminal, and generally undesirable while women and blacks are energetic, noble, and perfect. (Maybe Desperate Housewives is an exception; but, it shows everyone as stupid, except the gay guys.) With Obama and the democrats about to be in total control of the government, I think we can expect renewed assault on white men. Here is an article from Australia by Andrew Bolt in Brisbane, where the liberals are now in control.

Discriminating against people because of their gender is now to be encouraged by law in mad Victoria:

DISCRIMINATION against dominant white males will soon be encouraged in a bid to boost the status of women, the disabled and cultural and religious minorities.

Such positive discrimination—treating people differently in order to obtain equality for marginalised groups - is set to be legalised under planned changes to the Equal Opportunity Act foreshadowed last week by state Attorney-General Rob Hulls…

Equal Opportunity Commission CEO Dr Helen Szoke said males ... “will have their position changed because they will be competing in a different way with these people who have been traditionally marginalised… Let’s open it up so everyone can have a fair go.”

Szoke’s demand for a “fair go” for “everyone” is a fraud. She actually wants some people not to get a fair go at all, if they are male. These people are not to be judged on their talents alone.

It is so typical of the Left to trample over individuals to achieve nirvana for the theoretical collective. Explain, please, Ms Szoke, how fighting against discrimination in theory justifies imposing discrimination in practice? In the end, some people wind up still getting hurt - and unfairly.
