From Charles's video...
"Ya know when I look at my life... ya know, always been told by somebody that I'm not ready, that I can't do something, my scores weren't high enough... ya know there's always that doubt in the back of the minds of people of color - people who've been oppressed and haven't been given real opportunities - that you never really beli... that you believe that somehow, someone is better than you. You know, deep down inside you doubt whether you can do it..."
-Michelle Obama
I have never before heard the perfect argument against affirmative action spoken aloud by a Black liberal. Affirmative action first and foremost institutionalizes exactly this dehumanizing belief in ones own inferiority.
Exsqueeze me, but oh puh-leeze! Who EVER told her, or any Black in the last 30 years, that she or they weren't "ready", that their "scores weren't high enough"??
She's smart enough to know she's been lied to but she's still playing the victim -- "GIVEN"
real opportunity? Oppressed? -- and yet still ignorant because she doesn't ken that, yes, there is always someone smarter, faster, better at "it", whatever "it" is, than each and every one of us, including her, which does not diminish our worth as humans.
People like her do not want to hear lies, but they do not want to hear the truth either, so they're stuck hating themselves and everybody else as well.
