Read the Fine Print, Condi Rice Supports Affirmative Action for
Dumb White Men Like Her Boss
A
BUZZFLASH EDITORIAL
Condi Rice, a high-profile Bush administration official (who just happens to be
African-American -- "wink-wink, nod-nod") makes a carefully strategized
statement that vaguely supports race being a potential consideration in college
admissions, but, you got it, also fully backs the heavy-handed Bush Cartel brief
challenging a University of Michigan system that includes race as a
consideration among equally qualified candidates:
Rice issued a statement saying that she supports the president's decision to
challenge race-conscious admissions as administered by the University of
Michigan and that race-neutral means are preferable. But she said there are
occasions when "it is appropriate to use race as one factor among others in
achieving a diverse student body."

affirmative action programs this fine country has to offer.
Bush stopped short of actually uttering the words "affirmative action" when he
got us all talking about this Wednesday. Instead, he kept to the specifics of
the University of Michigan admissions formulas that are the subject of a case
now before the Supreme Court, calling them "divisive, unfair and impossible to
square with the Constitution."
He didn't mention anything about the whole deal with Ivy League alumni kids.
