Best person for the job......

There's a social engineering group in Hamilton Ontario who goes by the name of "Community Coalition against Racism" who is actively advocating racism.....What's that you say!!!!!....Let me explain.
In 2010 Hamilton hired 12 new firefighters. All were white and one was a woman. In 2009 they hired 11 firefighters.All of them were white and none were women. According to the "Community Coalition against Racism thats no good. In fact Mr. Ken Stone. the chair of the CCAR is quoted as saying the following in the papers:
"CCAR has been trying to get an official meeting with Mayor Bob Bratina for some time to ensure this item isn’t stricken from the budget as it was last year. But we need the help of ordinary Hamiltonians of every racial origin who believe in fairness to get involved in the 2011 budget process by phoning their city councillors (who are all white), by writing letters to the mayor and to the editor of The Spectator, by taking stands in their churches and community organizations and by using social media, all to demand the city act now to ensure the fire department is finally integrated." 
In thinking that they are lobbying for fairness in hiring practises they are in fact advocating racism against a group of people. Its been done before and its called affirmative action. The wikipedia definition of Affirmative action is:
 policies that take factors including "race, color, religion, sex, or national origin"^[1] into consideration in order to benefit an underrepresented group, usually as a means to counter the effects of a history of discrimination. The focus of such policies ranges from employment and education to public contracting and health programs.
So by advocating affirmative action because of the narrow mindedness of our ancestors they are de facto being racist against other races. 
Think of it this way. Do you want YOUR firefighter to be the best candidate for the job, who won it through a fair and open competition, or do you want YOUR firefighter to be the one who didnt win the competition but was hired because of their skin colour?
Whatever happened to hiring the best person for the job regardless of their race, colour or sex?


I'll leave you with a quote from the Rev Jesse Jackson:
