From the hearings today....
Politically correctness...
Reverend Emanuel Cleaver:

Let me get this straight Rev, with all the problems facing the country economically, you still find the time to express outrage that the lack of "diversity". Its such a problem you need to address, that you actually close with this. Hmm…interesting. Im a science guy myself, i feel <st1:city><st1lace>Newtons</st1lace></st1:city> third law of motion to be very fluid and very visible in everything in life tangible and in many cases intangible. With that said, when you have to use a force to pick someone up, you’re doing so by taking someone down. Affirmative action is a clear case of this. And this is what this man is saying. He doesnt care about how, why or what got us into this, he above all wants to see a reflection of himself staring back at him on the panel, because race supersedes everything even ability. Only when it benefits a minority is this plausible and the majority better not speak about it, or else you are a racist. He forgets that more than three times as many black people live in prison cells as in college dorms. He isn’t considering the fact that since 2002, the black unemployment rate has increased four times faster than the rate for white workers (1.2 percent versus .3 percent, respectively). Could these factors have an impact on the lack of diversity on the panel? Could a small pool at the outset defeating itself have anything to do with it? Politically correctness is a vail for change. If you want change or evolution then you need to be able to talk about what holds you back.
What he is advocating is racism. What i am advocating is logic. Racism isn’t logical because racism is a choice. Logic is universal.<o></o>

Reverend Emanuel Cleaver:
[/FONT]The final issue i want to raise is that I'm woefully unimpressed with the diversity of this panel. Um, not only the panel but the folk who sit behind you, i don't know how many rows deep that we would have to go to find some diversity.
