discriminations still out on a limb after more than fifteen years discriminations still out on a limb after more than fifteen years home about lista casino non aams slots not on gamstop casino non aams casino crypto bitcoin casino martin luther king redux again 15 january 2024 i have posted and reposted the following comments on martin luther king day six or seven times over the past years but who s counting since they still seem relevant here they are again on a past martin luther king day several years ago i noted dishonoring martin luther king jr that one of the saddest commentaries on the sorry state of civil rights today or at least how the straggling remnant of the civil rights movement and their liberal camp followers view civil rights today is that martin luther king jr s most powerful and emblematic utterance that he looks forward to the day when his children will be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin has now become uncomfortably controversial among those who claim to honor him yet today 50 years after king shared this vision during his most famous speech the associated press purports to report there is considerable disagreement over what it means actually that s wrong there can be no reasonable disagreement over what it means the disagreement is over only whether that principle should be honored or rejected over the years i ve asked several times variations of the same question such as what do we honor when we honor martin luther king and who are we i wrote there that protesters had objected to president bush laying a wreath on king s grave nearly all of them criticizing him for betraying king by his opposition to racial preferences indeed nothing seems to send preferentialists around the bend and over the top faster than critics of preferences quoting king s i have a dream speech as we always do and they always respond i noted in another post on the same theme original intent and original meaning and martin luther king with one version or another of if king were alive today he would be a strong advocate of racial preferences that post discussed the increasingly important distinction between original intention and original meaning an overly simple way of illustrating this sometimes elusive distinction is to look at the debate over how to interpret the 8th amendment s ban on cruel and unusual punishment an original intent interpretation would say that the ban was limited to the specific punishments that those who wrote and then approved the amendment in fact thought were cruel and unusual you can see the problem already of determining a collective intention an original meaning interpretation would also rely on historical evidence but rather than asking what punishments the framers for lack of a better term had in mind it would examine the contemporary understanding of the words cruel and unusual on this view a particular punishment might well be unconstitutional even if the framers never considered it so long as it fell within 18th century not our understanding of what those words mean i will close at least for this martin luther king day by repeating the conclusion of that post i have some reservations about this assertion but on balance i suspect it is true after all all king s followers the naacp which had advocated a strong version of colorblindness in court for decade after decade and virtually the entire democratic party did an about face on colorblindness starting in the late 1960s and there is no compelling reason to suppose that king himself would have stood against this trend taking a page from the original meaning book however we can see that the proper response to the posthumous king s probable position is so what even a persuasive prediction of a posthumous king s views on the affirmative action debates that followed his death does not determine the meaning of the principle he evoked either for his contemporaries or for subsequent generations of course in this case the text in question is not so dense and opaque like due process or even equal protection what part of wanting people to be judged by the content of their character and not the color of their skin is so difficult to understand now king s speech is not a part of the constitution at least not of its text but it has achieved a well deserved iconic stature it gave voice to an understanding of equality that traces it roots back at least to some of the abolitionists that achieved partial but limited success in the reconstruction amendments and that finally was embedded in the civil rights act of 1964 in the year following king s delivery on the mall thus i beg to differ with a commenter on my king s birthday post linked above begrudgingly f or arguments sake she was willing to admit the possibility that one can disagree with another s ideals while still honoring the person i believe those of us who continue to resent benefits or burdens being based on skin color are honoring the meaning of martin luther king s ideals much more fully than preferentialists who argue that if he were alive today he would agree with them writing as i am about fifteen minutes from monticello it seems all too obvious to me that there are some ideals that are not discredited simply because their authors fail to live up to them there is one difference in naples fla i am now 15 hours from monticello not 15 minutes but jefferson s and king s ideals remain undiminished by whatever failures of their authors to live up to them posted in and another thing say what claudine gay the kamala harris of harvard 2 january 2024 claudine gay is the kamala harris of harvard both affirmative action hires fighting far above their weight although in her resignation letter gay laments the doubt cast on my commitments to confronting hate and to upholding scholarly rigor doubt she emphasizes that it was frightening to be subjected to personal attacks and threats fueled by racial animus although gay stops short of asserting that she was fired because of her race her most belligerent defenders have been less circumspect as aaron sibarium pointed out in the washington free beacon randall kennedy a harvard law school professor told the new york times that the plagiarism charges were ginned up by professional vilifiers and bad faith actors and went on to suggest the university may not cooperate with the congressional investigation underway into its adjudication of gay s work another harvard lawyer charles fried was more explicit describing the allegations as an extreme right wing attack on elite institutions if it came from some other quarter i might be granting it some credence he told the times but not from these people similarly over 700 harvard faculty members signed a letter urging the harvard corporation to resist the sinister political pressures dictated by outside forces gay s harvard defenders in fact sound for all the world like those southern segregationists i can say this with some authority since i grew up in alabama who blamed all support for civil rights on outside agitators whatever the reason harvard is now rid of its first black president perhaps suggesting that last hired first fired has now come to dei posted in and another thing say what do anti israel pro hamas protesters support genocide 17 december 2023 the recent harvard harris poll december 13 14 reports that 73 of all respondents believe that hamas s attacks on jews were genocidal in nature and that the hamas killing of 1200 israeli civilians and the kidnapping of another 250 civilians cannot be justified by the grievances of palestinians very interestingly however 60 of respondents age 28 34 posted in and another thing say what july 4 again 3 july 2023 below is the twelth recycling of a short statement celebrating july 4 that i published first in the nation july 15 1991 unchanged from the version i posted here last year following is the eleventh recycling of a blog post i first posted here twenty years ago and subsequently ten different times over the posted in and another thing say what beyond bakke 23 may 2023 i have a review essay beyond bakke in the just published spring 2023 issue of the national association of scholars journal academic questions it is available online here i argued more forcefully in an older draft that the court could reach an equitable result in the now older sense of fair and just in the pending posted in and another thing say what 1 uva men s tennis there they go again 21 may 2023 first stop reading there is a pre requisite for reading this post do not read another word here until you re read you did read it last year right uva men s tennis a dramatic perhaps unique national championship from almost exactly one year ago even assuming you did read it a year ago you ve probably forgotten it by now posted in and another thing say what from affirmative action to dei 10 february 2023 there was a time not very long ago when it was regarded as insulting even racist to describe someone as an affirmative action hire even though everyone knew when affirmative action hires were in fact affirmative action hires that seems to have changed notes of a dei search chair which appears in this morning s inside posted in and another thing say what wokery at unc if balanced is conservative then unbalanced must be 8 february 2023 posted in and another thing say what stanford s words for the woke 30 january 2023 posted in and another thing say what martin luther king redux redux 15
