Organizations that want to address other forms of discrimination prohibited by the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms and human rights legislation may also qualify for charitable registration. Although they do not fall within the scope of the current policy, the grounds for recognizing or denying charitable status to such organizations would likely parallel those in this policy. Guidelines will be developed for organizations whose purpose is to eliminate other forms of discrimination. The current policy states that programs qualifying under the 'advancement of education' category can undertake such activities outside Canada. However, the policy does not presently address programs intending to operate abroad that qualify under the 'other purposes beneficial to the community' category. CCRA will consider such applicants on a case by case basis until guidance which clarifies these circumstances becomes available. Registering Charities that Promote Racial Equality Reference Number

Extractions: ACLU-NC Executive Director A court-awarded fee of $1.8 million in a civil rights case will enable the ACLU-NC to further expand our effort in the fight for racial justice in the coming years. The award is part of a judgment from the California Court of Appeal in Davis v. California Department of Corrections a case brought by the ACLU on behalf of Bettye Davis, a Richmond mother whose home was unlawfully invaded and searched in 1988 by armed officers of the Richmond Police Department and the state Department of Corrections who claimed they were looking for a parolee who lived at the address. Davis and her children were terrorized during the search, her doors were broken down, and the ashes of her late husband were spilled from the mantle piece. In earlier rulings, the lawsuit also brought about new regulations for conducting such searches and $668,000 in damages for the family. Strong message The fees donated to the ACLU-NC will not only expand our legal program but send a strong message to law enforcement agencies that there can be a very high price to pay for violating constitutional rights. "The commitment and legal acumen of the Pillsbury attorneys contributed greatly to the legal victory in this case," said ACLU-NC staff attorney Chen. "The firm's generosity in donating this significant attorneys' fee award to the ACLU means that our work on behalf of other families whose constitutional rights were violated will also be strengthened."

http://www.policyreview.org/jan98/equality.html

Extractions: By Rep. Charles T. Canady O n June 11, 1963, in the wake of Governor George Wallace’s stand against integration at the University of Alabama, President John F. Kennedy reported to the American people on the state of civil rights in the nation. He called on Congress to pass legislation dismantling the system of segregation and encouraged lawmakers to make a commitment "to the proposition that race has no place in American life or law." Invoking the equality of all Americans before the law, Kennedy said: "We are confronted primarily with a moral issue. It is as old as the Scriptures and it is as clear as the American Constitution. The heart of the question is whether all Americans are to be afforded equal rights and equal opportunities, whether we are going to treat our fellow Americans as we want to be treated." The American people are now beginning a great debate over the use of race and gender preferences by federal, state, and local governments. In 1996, a majority of voters in California, including 29 percent of blacks, approved the California Civil Rights Initiative prohibiting preferential treatment in public employment, education, and contracting. In a series of cases, the Supreme Court and federal courts of appeal have made it clear that the system of preference is built on an exceedingly shaky foundation. These caseschiefly the

The racial inequities of Megan s laws have never been discussed or debated in and advocates for racial equality in criminal law sometimes fail.
http://academic.udayton.edu/race/03justice/crime12.htm

Extractions: Daniel Filler excerpted from: Daniel Filler, Silence and the Racial Dimension of Megan's Law, 89 Iowa Law Review 1535-1594, 1537-1540, 1594 (May, 2004)(262 Endnotes) Megan's Laws were a signature legal development of the 1990s. In 1990, Washington became the first state to subject criminal offenders to public exposure, requiring local authorities to alert communities when selected convicts moved into the area. These laws spread across the nation, gaining momentum in the aftermath of several high profile child abduction/murders. By the end of the decade, every state and the District of Columbia had created a public registry of selected criminal offenders. Despite the rush of legislative activity and extensive discussion in the courts, mass media, and legal journals, race never surfaced as an issue in the Megan's Law debate. This silence is odd. The racially disparate effects of the nation's criminal justice policies are widely acknowledged, and commentators criticize this aspect of criminal law frequently. The absence of any serious and substantive discussion about the racial dimension of Megan's Laws obscured their significant consequences. In this Article, I present new data showing that African-Americans are grossly over-represented on notification rolls. In some states, an African-American person is over sixteen times more likely to appear on a notification website than a white person. The inequities extend well beyond statistical disparities, however. By including offenders convicted before several landmark anti-discrimination cases, and during periods of documented informal discrimination, registries perpetuate historical racism. Moreover, among African-Americans, and certain African-American communities, already devastated by the social consequences of mass incarceration, the side effects of Megan's Lawsshame, social disconnection and exclusiontake a uniquely high toll.

Extractions: Robert A. Sedler excerpted from: Robert A. Sedler, Claims for Reparations for Racism Undermine the Struggle for Equality, 3 Journal of Law in Society 119 (Winter, 2002)(30 Footnotes) Let me develop this latter point more fully. As Justice Powell's opinion in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke demonstrates, a racially diverse student body has educational advantages for all students, white as well as minority, by promoting "[t]he atmosphere of 'speculation, experiment and creation' - so widely essential to the quality of higher education." Most universities today want to have a racially diverse student body, and where they are prohibited by court decision or state law from using race-conscious admissions policies, they are likely to resort to "factors that correlate with race," such as residence, high school class standing, and economic disadvantage. Since the nation's universities and corporate America are white dominated and support affirmative action, this lends further credence to Bell's thesis that whites will do things that benefit blacks only when whites themselves benefit as well.
Lincoln's Unprincipled Exception To Racial Equality
Let me make it clear that in discussing the issue of racial equality I am nottaking a Is this an exception to our view of equality before the law?
http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/001653.html

Extractions: In a liberal society , where the only legitimate principles are liberal principles, no principled opposition to the onward march of liberal freedom and equality is possible. The only way opposition to liberalism can manifest itself is as a series of holding actions, in which the holdouts, who generally accept the prevailing liberalism, will nevertheless resist it on some particular issue without opposing liberalism as such. These unprincipled exceptions to liberalism take the form of appeals to established habits and traditions, or to majority opinion, or to common sense, or to social utility, or to inertia, or to some undefined feeling that we shouldn't go "too far," or even to some supposed beneficent fate that will keep the unwanted liberal victory from occurring without our having to do anything about it. A liberal who adheres to one or more such exceptions to liberalism is called a conservative. The conservative's appeal is to what exists. At any given moment in time, there is present in a society an inchoate body of sentiments, habits, traditions, and understandings that liberalism has not yet challenged and which seem, as far as anyone can tell, unquestionable and authoritative. But the apparent authority of these values and beliefs is only based on the fact that they have not

http://www.amnation.com/vfr/archives/003436.html

Extractions: The following is a modified and enlarged version of an article I posted here last September, and which has now been published in The Citizens Informer . Its theme is that the transformation of the meaning of civil rights from equal individual rights under the law , as seen in the 1964 Civil Rights Act, into racial group equality of results , as seen in our current unconstitutional and anti-democratic system of racial preferences, could not be stopped, because the civil rights movement had the effect of morally delegitimizing the only group in America that could have stopped that transformation, namely the white American majority. I argue that the only way to turn back the group-entitlements revolution is through the remoralization of that majority. How the 1964 Civil Rights Act Made Racial Group Entitlements Inevitable by Lawrence Auster Through half a lifetime of observing American conservatives' and neoconservatives' passionate and principled resistance to affirmative action (a resistance that notably waned after the 2003 Grutter decision), I many times heard them quote Hubert Humphrey's famous pledge that if the 1964 Civil Rights Act required racial quotas, he would "eat the paper it's written on." Recently I looked up the text of Humphrey's remark, which he made on the floor of the U.S. Senate on April 9, 1964:
