		<description><![CDATA[Most of you have equated anti-affirmative action with racism and conservative with rasist. Shame on you; you are all now a part of the problem. The point is to end stereo types. Why did one person have to state they were black in these comment even to get their point across? Why do you have to point out the big names of the conservative party? Labels, labels, labels...]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I think that Ward Connerly is absolutely right and I respect him greatly for his efforts to eliminate affirmative action before it does more harm. Counting some more than others do to race, is wrong and racist. Handing out opportunity based on race is wrong and racist. And to all minority special interest and advocate groups, you need to be aware of one thing; affirmative action backfire on those you wish to help; and, while affirmative action harms all, it harms its beneficiaries the most.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Wow ... so because Ward Connerly believes that people should NOT receive special treatment just because of the color of their skin all of the posters here believe that he is a racist or an &quot;uncle tom&quot;?

I am particularly offended myself by the comment that white women should not have ever benefited from affirmative action because they marry white men and make little white children. Do you HEAR yourself? Does anyone realize that prior to affirmative action women (of any COLOR) faced extreme obstacles to owning property or qualifying for credit etc... So we should never have helped white women in receiving equal treatment under the law because they would just turn around and birth more of us evil white devil spawn into the world? Is that about the gist of the post?

The anti-white racism in this country is rampant in America today.

If any of the posters here take some time to study Ward Connerly&#039;s viewpoints and assertions over the course of his involvement in this issue you would learn that much of his campaign was fueled by a desire to end the discriminatory college admissions practices that were taking place in the UC college system in the name of &quot;diversity&quot; in which white and ASIAN students were systematically denied admission despite having better grades and test scores than other students who were being admitted.

Why is it that those of us who feel that your COLOR should not be a factor in today&#039;s &quot;post-race&quot; society in hiring and college admissions practices are labeled &quot;racist&quot;.

How is it that Ward shows &quot;disdain to his own race&quot; just because he doesn&#039;t believe that race should be a free pass for ANY body of ANY COLOR?

As it turns out Ward explains that he one-fourth black and half-white, with the rest a mix of Irish, French, and Choctaw American Indian.

Should he hate half of himself for being the &quot;white devil&quot;??

I mean seriously people... go re-read Dr. Seuss&#039; sneeches and their starz upon tharz and get back to me.

		<description><![CDATA[I don&#039;t think there is much else to add to what the earlier respondents have already stated. I can only say that it always appalls me when a person of color shows disdain for their own race; because that is the only way I perceive Mr. Connerly&#039;s actions. Yes, a convoluted Stockholm Syndrome is taking place here, but it is especially egregious when the affects of the syndrome are directed outwards towards a specific group of people. We have not yet reached a stage in this country where we cannot discuss race. The people impacted by racial inequality are not the instigators or initiators of these inequalities, and those affected by these inequalities are only asking for the same opportunities as anyone else in this country. Until such time that these inequalities no longer exist, then Affirmative Action programs will need to exist, because it is painfully apparent that many in this country will not do it on their own.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m sorry someone took offense at calling Ward Connerly an &quot;Uncle Tom,&quot; but nothing is more despising to me than to see a Black Person try so hard to deliberately hurt those of his own race. This man panders to the likes of Rush Limbaugh,Glenn Beck ,Michael Savage, Sarah Palin,etc. Through out our history(I&#039;m Black)there have always been a few of of our people who decided that the easiest way to get along, and to get ahead was to become a puppet for the racist wing of the white power structure, to the detrimen of his own race. I&#039;m not a strong proponent of name calling either, but when I think about the destruction Mr. connerly has caused, it has that kind of effect.. through out our history in this country, we have always had a few of these dispicable individuals.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I actually agree with Connerly that America is obsessed with race.  When European immigrants came through Ellis Island in the early 20th century, they were forced to identify themselves by race, something they had never had to consider before coming to America.  It hasn&#039;t particularly changed since then.  However, ignoring the issue doesn&#039;t make it go away.  The entitlements of white male privilege have to be addressed and negated before we can start ignoring everyone else&#039;s race.  ]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[To the first commenter:  Affirmative Action was actually designed to correct racism specifically.  It was only afterward that other groups, particularly woman&#039;s rights groups, started declaring themselves &quot;minorities&quot; deserving of the same special privileges.  They did this well:  white women are the single largest benefactors of Affirmative Action.  White women tend to marry white men and have white children.  Affirmative Action helps white people the most!]]></description>
