The South Africanization of America:
Dear Ms. Mercer, Your book “Into the Cannibal’s Pot” is a picture of the future,which is now! The Racial Grievance Industry is on a roll, shaking down Desperate White Liberals for all they’re worth. It is a political Bonanza. Your wonderful book clarifies it like distilled crystal spring water: merit is being enslaved by “affirmative action.” Where “minorities” can’t make it on merit, they claim “systemic racism” and demand affirmative action. They claim, with specious reasoning and political profit, that school discipline, school suspension, police interaction, incarceration, illegalization of drugs, the death penalty, SAT tests for college admissions, civil service tests for government employment, and everything else under the sun “adversely affect minorities” and therefore demand quotas and affirmative action. The results are becoming painfully obvious, as you point out: White flight, anarchy in inner city schools, dumbing down of curriculum, two tiered admissions policies in higher education, laws changed to fit behavior, defunding of police departments, anarchy in the streets, and on and on. Statistics abound on how everything “disproportionately affects minorities” and therefore must be remedied by “affirmative action” quotas. I’d like to see some statistics on how minorities and affirmative action quotas “disproportionately affects everything else.” I’m sure no such statistics will be forthcoming. But nature abhors a vacuum, and things always seek balance. What I do expect to see, therefore, with the triumph of Affirmative Action in all walks of our culture, is Merit picking up his toys and going home. Best Regards to you, Ms. Mercer – and thank you. Sincerely, Bo Traywick
