King’s Vision
“My
problem with Martin Luther King Day is that it celebrates
a civil rights revolution that achieved the opposite of King’s
intention. Today we are judged by the color of our skin. This
conclusion is inescapable wherever we look.
“Those with darker skins have become ‘preferred minorities’
with rights to employment, promotions, training programs,
university admissions, and federal contracts that are greater
than those of ‘whites.’ New crimes known as ‘hate crimes’
are being created that only ‘whites’ can commit and only ‘preferred
minorities’ can suffer. If a ‘white’ assaults a ‘black,’ the
charge will be assault and a hate crime. If a ‘black’ assaults
a ‘white,’ the charge is only assault.
“‘Preferred minorities’ have special rights to be offended
that ‘whites’ do not have. Indeed, a ‘white’ who offends a
‘black,’ whether intentionally or unintentionally, can be
charged with racial discrimination or with a hate crime. Preferred
minorities can call whites names, but whites cannot call preferred
minorities names. Ordinary language has become a minefield
for whites, who must tiptoe around, aware that the slightest
mishap can bring a lawsuit or destroy a career.”
– Columnist Paul Craig Roberts
