A dissent on multiculturalism

30 Jun

“Economics professor Walter Williams begs to differ on creating a multicultural society.”

 

“German Chancellor Angela Merkel declared that multiculturalism has “utterly failed,” adding that it was an illusion to think Germans and foreign workers could “live happily side by side.” The failure of multiculturalism is also seen in Denmark, Sweden, the United Kingdom, France, Belgium and other European countries. Immigrants coming from Africa and the Middle East refuse to assimilate and instead seek to import the failed cultures they fled.”

Supreme Court upholds University of Texas affirmative action admissions – The Washington Post

23 Jun

Isn’t the Supreme Court decision the essence of racism, judging people by their color?  Whatever happened to the goal of a color-blind society?  

The 4-to-3 decision said officials may consider race of applicants in a limited way to build a diverse student body.

Liberty transcends race and ethnicity

06 Jun

A letter in today’s Record (Bergen County, NJ) sets the record straight, libertarianism is not a philosophy for only white people.

Libertarians appeal to all

Regarding “Libertarians could hurt candidate, but whom?” (Other Views, June 1):

The Op-Ed article by Bloomberg News Columnist Albert Hunt stated “there probably wouldn’t be much support for Libertarians among Latinos and African-Americans…”

What a patronizing and misguided statement. Is Hunt suggesting that individual liberty has no appeal to minority voters? Racial and ethnic minorities have to deal with government interference in their lives on a daily basis just like everyone else and perhaps more so.

Racial profiling of minorities is a direct outgrowth of the “war on drugs” which we Libertarians would end. Your life and body belong to you, not the state. That idea is the basis of what our country is supposed to be all about.

The Libertarian Party and movement are both based on the idea that we are all individuals — regardless of race, ethnicity, religion, sex, gender choice or orientation. Our party and movement is open to all and always has been. If you’re for freedom, we’re for you.

Obsessing over race, ethnicity and gender

05 Jun

Brigid Harrison, professor of political science and law at Montclair State University, makes several observations in her column (The Record) today, “A look at our Legislature’s make up”. Harrison focuses on a new report issued by Stockton University’s William J. Hughes Center for Public policy comparing the demographic characteristics of New Jersey legislators with those of the general population. The report points out that Legislature is 83% white, 15% African American, 8% Hispanic (of any race) and 2% Asian. New Jersey’s population is 69% white, 14% African-American, 18% Hispanic and nearly 9% Asian.
