			<title>Anti-Affirmativ e Action:  The New Politic Even in Africa</title>
			<link>http://newpittsburghcourieronline.com/index.php/opinion/9016-democrats-abandon-strong-black-women#comment-1098</link>
			<description><![CDATA[The anti-affirmativ e climate here in the US has even made its way to southern Africa, where entrenched colonial populations are making some headway with absurd revisionistic claims, inter alia, that efforts to correct economic imbalances between minority and majority populations are "anti white" in foundation. In fact, SA's judicial system is pretty much skewed in favor of a minority left over from the apartheid days, which judicial system has effectively removed populists fighting for economic changes from the political scene. Some even view the tendency of left over colonials populations to quote the Rt. Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr., as insulting considering these very minorities used racial politics to maxiomum effect for some 300 years. But back here at home, there are many voices concerned with the rise of anti AfricanAmerican hatred in the Latino community which could open up a new divide and conquer strategy that would reinvigorate the right.

			<description><![CDATA[Perhaps these events have more to do with the Reagan presidency if we consider this that the country is still basking in his conservative sunlight. It was under his watch that the center moved considerably to the right, which might account for seemingly strange happenings under ostensibly liberal presidents. Under the Reagan stewardship, the right gathered much traction thanks to the anti-affirmativ e action climate in which the majority became the new minority, if you will. These so-called liberals must deal with this reality. Clinton certainly did with welfare reform. And Obama hasn't exactly been a champion of traditional human rights, either, for that matter. Poor economic times also make issues of concern to African Americans of less importance under the pressure of the current center-right political climate. The anomaly, though, is that the LGBT community is getting a better reception despite either the center-right climate or the country's poor economic status.]]></description>
