Affirmative Action

Affirmative action has nothing to do with including nor excluding. It's not about discrimination. Affirmative action is about symmetry and asymmetry, equally and inequality, majority and minority. If there were no racism in the U.S., there would be no need for affirmative action. Unfortunately, most educated people agree that racism is a dangerous and divisive problem in the U.S. Those who say that there is no racism in the U.S., are either unconscious racist's, or they have a crazy definition of the word "racism." The clansmen and Nazis realize that there is a great deal of racism in the U.S. However, they think that all the racism and discrimination in the U.S. is only against White people.

According to Google, Whites are 52% nationwide and only 37% in California alone. By projection, it's probable that in one generation, Whites will be a minority in the U.S. Whites are already a minority in California. I have a White friend who works in a large government agency with many workers. He says that he is the only White person in the whole company. He says that everybody else is Black, Hispanic and one Armenian. There are many huge regions of California where there are so many Hispanics that the shopkeepers have to put out a sign that says: "English is spoken here." Once I tried to get a job as a driving teacher in Huntington Park, California. All of the teachers there were Cuban. I didn't see any Blacks or other races there; not even Black Cubans. At the interview, the director turned me down because he said that I spoke "broken" Spanish. At that time, I had recently graduated from UCLA, with a B.A. degree in Spanish. Cubans believe that they speak the best and most correct Spanish in the world. This is a normal human belief among all races. It's called ethnocentrism. I used to have this belief before I started college. But after many years in colleges, universities, living and working in many countries in western and eastern Europe, including Turkey, I came to the same belief as Rick Steves of P.B.S. That all countries are equal. There is no superior country; not even the country that Rick Steves lives in, i.e., the U.S.A. He says that the objective of his films is to teach the U.S.A. that there is no superior country. Blacks and Hispanics can be very clannish and nepotistic. Whites will be a minority in the U.S. Most businesses will be owned or operated by Blacks and Hispanics. Unfortunately, most Whites will be driven to welfare. They will be lumped up as a monolithic caste with the stereotype of being lazy. That they don't want to work. That they want something for nothing. That they think that society owes them something. UNLESS, Whites use the affirmative action laws to force all Black and Hispanic businesses or universities to hire or enroll White minorities. This will be the only way for White minorities to pull themselves up by their own bootstraps and get themselves out of welfare.

In 1978, Allen Bake sued the regents of U.C. Davis on the grounds that the university discriminated against him for being White. In 1978, U.C. Davis had an affirmative action program of having a quota of admitting 16 minority students in the U.C. School of Medicine. In spite of these 16 minority students, the School of Medicine still had hundreds of White students. So why did Allen Bakke sue the university for racial discrimination? Hundreds of White students and 16 minority students doesn't sound like discrimination to me unless he meant that the discrimination was against minority students. Either way, the Supreme Court ruled against the university, and Allen Bakke was admitted in 1978. This was the same year that I was admitted to UCLA. However, his g.p.a. was 3.6. My g.p.a. was 3.8.

In 2003, U.C. Davis vs. Allen Bakke was overturned by Grutter vs. Bollinger. The Supreme Court ruled that Barbara Grutter was not discriminated by the University of Michigan because of racial discrimination. The Supreme Court ruled that the University of Michigan has the right to admit students not just by test scores or a high g.p.a., but by a balance of racial diversity, that reflects its community.

Now, I have a few questions for all the Trumpers. When the next generation of White people become the minority in the 2040's and 2050's, and all the Ivy League universities become 95% Black and Hispanic, would it be acceptable for you if such universities were to turn down White students because the university has already filled its quota of 16 While students? Since high schools now have large majorities of Black and Hispanic students, the percentage of gifted or high achieving Blacks and Hispanics have trumped the percentage of gifted or high achieving White students. Should these White minority students be denied admission to universities because most White students don't have g.p.a.'s as high as the majority Black and Hispanic students?

I'm not talking about now. I'm taking about the 2040's and 2050's. I'm taking about White people who are now children in kindergarten. When most huge corporations become owned or managed by greedy, clannish, nepotistic Blacks and Hispanics, should White people use the affirmative action laws to get a foot in the door, or should they just acquiesce on welfare and ignominiously put up with pompous or smug Black and Hispanic big shots saying that White people are "lazy." That "they want something for nothing." That "they think that society owes them something." That "they have a propensity to commit crimes." Would that be acceptable to you Trumpers?

Black Lives Matter (Part 3)

Black Lives Matter (Part 2)

Ever since 1865, Black people have been forced into ghettos in a way that reminds me of how Present Andrew Jackson (the guy on the $20 bill) forced Native Americans, i.e., "Indians,"  from their native homes in Virginia and Georgia, where they had lived since the ice age, to a reservation, i.e., "ghetto" in Oklahoma. Over 4,000 elderly and sick Native Americans were left to die in the ice and snow because they couldn't keep up with the young and healthy. Such was Andrew Jackson's "trail of tears."

It also reminds me of how Hitler forced Jews into ghettos such as Lodz and Warsaw. Blacks are forced into ghettos in other ways. Blacks who had enough money to buy a nice house in a nice neighborhood, could not buy there because all the nice houses had "restrictive covenants" that forbade the sale of real estate to Black people. Donald Trump used to refuse, or still refuses to sell or rent out apartments to Black people. Even his hotel doesn't allow Blacks.

Ghettos are like police departments. One bad apple can turn the whole barrel rotten. For example, if one "bad apple" presses his knee on the neck of a Black man, and he, the Black man dies, "good apples" will just stand around and do nothing. Thus, the whole barrel turns rotten. If there are no smart phones to film an old man being pushed to the ground and gets killed, the "good apples" will swear under oath that the old man tripped over something, fell down, and hit his head on the pavement. "He was 75 years old. He had a pre-existing condition." So even if 100 eye witnesses swear that the cop pushed him to the ground, the all White jury from Simi valley, will acquit the "bad apple." When the "good apples" see how easy it is to murder somebody and get away with it, the whole barrel turns rotten. 

This is how the "good apples" turn rotten in the ghetto. Ghettos are very dangerous places, especially for school boys. Since ghettos are rock bottom, this is where the homeless pitch their tents and live in large cardboard boxes. This is where the mentally ill and the paroled convicts end up. It is all too often that school boys get beat up by bullies or gangs. Therefore, "good apples" join gangs for protection. However, gang leaders are like bad cops. They are charismatic and can indoctrinate the gang just as Charles Manson indoctrinated his gang of girls. If the gang leader orders the gang to sell narcotics, the "good apples" will follow orders from the "bad apple" in the same way that good cops turn bad by following orders from the bad cops. Of course, there are other factors that course the ghettos to be so dangerous. But the common denominator is that such people are trapped or concentrated (as in "Konzentrationslager") in the same dangerous place without the 5th amendment right to liberty.

This is why so many Black and Hispanic people live in ghettos It's not because of their race. This is why most people in prison are Black and Hispanic. Unfortunately, many uneducated or poorly educated White people think that the reason why the majority of people in the ghettos and prisons are Black and Hispanic, is because of their race. This is the most common example of racism, bigotry, and White supremacy.

Black Lives Matter (Part 1)

Yes, White lives matter, of course. I've never heard of anybody who said that they don't. If you are White and fear that the chances of getting killed by the cops are the same as the chances of Blacks getting killed by cops, fear not. According to Google and other federal agencies, Blacks are 2.8 times more likely to be killed by cops than Whites. Whites still have a slight majority of 52% (Google) while Blacks are a minority at 32% (Google.) In spite of this, the odds of Blacks getting killed by cops are 2.8 times higher than Whites (Google.)

Trump doesn't agree. He says that the rate of Blacks getting killed by cops is the same as the Whites. Where does he get his statistics? Surely it's not from Google. He will say that Google is "fake news." Or he will say that Obama paid Google to lie and say that it's 2.8 times more than Whites. Don't let Trump fool you. He just wants to scare you so that you will vote for him. Trump is a demigod.  A demigod is a person who gets his power by scaring poorly educated people and making them believe that he, the demigod, knows everything and he is the only person in the world who can get them out of trouble. It's like the fable of Chicken Little. The wolf said, "Yes in deed, the sky really is falling. But if you hide in my mouth, you'll be safe and I will protect you.

Or, like Jimmy Jones who said, "The capitalist government is out to take your money, property and your children. But if you give me all your money and sign over all your property to me, I will take you to our Garden of Eden in Guiana. In the end, he said: "We are all guilty of murdering a U.S. congressman. So we will be executed in the electric chair. So, take the poison and follow me to heaven."

Or, like Joseph Stalin who told his people: "The U.S. has many nuclear weapons that can blow all of us up. They will invade us as they did at Arch Angel and Vladivostok in 1919. But follow me and I'll save you as I did when Hitler and his fascist armies came to invade us."

Or, like Adolf Hitler who said that the communists and the Jews are out to get you. Follow me and I will get rid of all the Jews and communists.

Or, like Joseph McCarthy who... Do you get the idea?

Don't be a Chicken Little.  Don't follow the wolf in sheep's clothing. Don't vote for the wolf. He will lead you to the abyss.

A Gift of Life

Dear Readers,

Thank you for reading our blog. It is now 9 years old. I am now in the U.S. because I am very sick with kidney disease and so I had to come to get very expensive dialysis to stay alive. This thing can kill me. I need a very generous person who will donate a kidney. I cannot pay you any money because in the U.S. it is a crime to buy or sell a body organ. Any type O blood type, male or female, any race under 50 years old. Must be able to travel to the UCLA Hospital in Westwood near Willshire Blvd., California.

Most Greatfully,

Carl Sanchez
