Three examples:

A recent union contract that requires white teachers to be laid off first in the event of a lay-off until diversity goals were achieved. I understand the goal, but it introduces skin color into the decision process.

Another example various groups have pushed for lower standard in order to hire more women and minorities into law enforcement. Was the lower standard justified based on the job or the diversity goals? More importantly, if you are going to lower standards to achieve diversity goals, then you should be increasing your training budgets to compensate. Or people will die.

A recent government loan program to small business gave special consideration based on skin color. Why do poor white business owners deserve to be discriminated against?

Racism to fix racism is not the answer. I prefer Coleman Hughs ideas. We need to focus on programs to lift up the poor. While that will indirectly benefit minorities because they are disproportionately poor, it does not make race a criterion only income status. If administered fairly, I would think addressing poverty is something everyone can get behind.
