Reversing American Discrimination

We are told, thanks to the election of Barack Obama that we live in a post racial America. It is convenient for the Americans to tell America that she is a nation that no longer abuses and mistreats based on race. The nation that says race does not matter is the nation whose Supreme court will decided if affirmative action is legal. No doubt that the conservative bend of the court will allow for the striking down of affirmative action. So I ask if America is so over racial discrimination that affirmative action need no longer be on the books. But wait..who are the people who advocate for the dismissal of the law? It is America herself, the Americans say that affirmative action is wrong. The Americans who are the masters of discrimination are now in court saying that affirmative action is discriminatory. I call the Americans the masters of discrimination because since the creation of this nation America has been discriminating against those it views as less American in various ways be it out and out or veiled. So for the Americans to stand in court and say that they are being discriminating against, they the Americans who invented Jim Crow, they the Americans that benefited from white only and colored only, they the Americans who refused entry to universities based not on your credentials but on the color of your skin are the Americans that are crying outrage at discrimination because of a policy that looks to correct years of state sanctioned discrimination.

These Americans would argue that two wrongs do not make a right. These Americans would love for you to believe that that they are being discriminated against by a law that they established and they maintained. It is a fact that there is no law, there is nothing that the Negro can establish for himself without the support and permission of the Americans that the American has to respect. Does that sound familiar? A Negro (Slave) has no rights that a white has to respect. And we see this even in the 21st century. The very fact that the Americans are in the courts right now fighting against a law they established for the protection of the Negro against his own power shows us Negroes that America views post racial as a one size fits all white wash. It suggests that they believe they alone understand what discrimination is, being masters of it themselves, and that they will revoke every protection of the minority against the tyranny of the majority that they have ever established and protected. The first step is to 'unreverse' reverse discrimination. 

Let us look briefly at the term 'reverse discrimination'. In it we find an admission from the Americans that discrimination traditionally flows in one direction. From White to Black. Realization of this fact is the only way one could reverse discrimination, because in fact discrimination is discrimination and need not be reversed. What affirmative action looks to do in truth is reverse the traditional discrimination the Negro has faced since his arrival to this nation. Why does the American have a vested interest in 'unreversing' the discrimination of the Negro? Why exactly, things have worked so beautifully under traditional American discrimination. And if it aint broke, don't try and fix it by reversing it. By looking to strike down Affirmative action the Americans are asking us to trust them not to go back to there old ways of discrimination. I for one, cannot trust the Americans or their government to not do the quintessential American thing that has brought this nation "greatness" in the first place. The Americans know what side their bread end is buttered on,and its always been the white side.
