All Part of a Color Blind Society

It's good to see that, even in post-Katrina New Orleans, our drive for a color blind utopia continues.

Case in point, this evening on ABC news, they showed Mayor Nagin (who by the way happens to be black) talking about all the “Mexican’s taking jobs” in New Orleans. A construction company owner was interviewed, he also happened to be black, stating on national television that he will only hire black workers, he “gives preference in hiring to blacks”.

Reminds me of something I heard back in college. Spike Lee had a policy that he would only hire blacks to design his movies' publicity posters, as I recall. Now, if Spielberg's policy was to only hire whites to make his posters, the civil rights world would be in a total uproar. A black director applies the same race-based selection, and is met with silence. Liberalism gone amok, as I've said before.
