41. 03/06/03 -Privilege Before The Law
    equality before the law is an achievement of a thousandyear struggle, elites determined to replace equality before the law with racial privilege?

    Extractions: Home Why VDARE.com / The White Doe? FAQ Blog ... Printer Friendly Version... March 06, 2003 [Originally published in The American Conservative By Paul Craig Roberts Equality before the law is an achievement of a thousand-year struggle, but Americans have carelessly thrown it away. We have spent the past 37 years resurrecting feudalism, a system of differential legal rights based on status. The new legal aristocrats are “preferred minorities”—an official designation—whether they are native-born descendants of slaves or walked across our border today. In the University of Michigan racial quota case before the Supreme Court, we have an opportunity to drive a stake through the heart of the new feudalism before it is too late and to reaffirm equality before the law. But if the Bush administration’s legal brief against the University of Michigan’s quota scheme and the Supreme Court’s Bakke ruling a quarter century ago are guides to the outcome, our future lies with feudalism.

    Extractions: Home Why VDARE.com / The White Doe? FAQ Blog ... Printer Friendly Version... June 02, 2003 By Paul Craig Roberts Sometime this month, perhaps before this column is published, the Supreme Court will rule on the University of Michigan’s racial quotas. Both in law school and undergraduate admissions, the university intentionally discriminates against white applicants in favor of “preferred minorities.” It is obvious that the university’s policy violates equality before the law and the Constitution’s equal protection clause. For three decades the constitutional issue has been finessed. Initially, Americans were reassured that racial quotas were to be temporary and would be phased out before they could endanger equal rights for whites. However, temporary expedients have a way of becoming permanent . Today racial quotas are required in order to avoid federal civil rights lawsuits in behalf of “preferred minorities.” As practically every university in the country uses one scheme or another to discriminate in favor of “preferred minorities,” the Michigan case will determine whether “preferred minorities” are admitted on the basis of merit or on the privilege of skin color.

    Extractions: Changes to the law against racial discrimination The Government is making important changes to the Race Relations Act. This is in line with changes to race legislation being made across the EU. The new legislation will give people greater protection from unlawful racial discrimination and harassment. The Race Relations Act 1976 protects people from racial discrimination in the fields of employment, education, training, housing and the provision of goods, facilities and services. Following the Race Relations (Amendment) Act in 2000, it prohibits racial discrimination in the carrying out of many public functions, including policing. The amended Act also places on most public authorities a general duty to promote race equality. Many of these authorities have to meet specific duties as well. The Government recently introduced regulations (The Race Relations Act 1976 (Amendment) Regulations 2003) that further improve the amended Race Relations Act. The regulations relate to discrimination and harassment on the grounds of race or ethnic or national origins (referred to in this leaflet as 'the relevant grounds') and will help to ensure that Britain meets minimum standards of legal protection from racial discrimination and harassment across Europe. Key improvements Previously, indirect discrimination has occurred when somebody applied a 'condition or requirement' which appeared to affect everyone equally but which in fact put people from a particular racial group at a disadvantage. The new definition (among other changes) replaces the phrase 'condition or requirement' with 'provision, criterion or practice' so far as racial groups based on the relevant grounds are concerned. This means that, in addition to the existing 'formal' practices, more 'informal' practices are now more likely to be covered by the Act and there will be more circumstances in which claims of indirect discrimination can be brought.

    Extractions: Racial Equality Program The Racial Equality Program addresses employment problems faced by persons because of their race, and employment practices that are racially discriminatory. The Program is also committed to protecting affirmative actions plans when threatened, and enforcing statutory or regulatory hiring/employment requirements in economic development projects in order to "level the playing field" in the availability of jobs for racial minorities. As part of the Program, the LAS-ELC has developed special projects in the areas of Affirmative Action and Non-Traditional Employment Litigation, especially of class-action cases on behalf of racial minorities in the workplace, is the Program's primary tool for achieving its enormous success over the years. For example, in a historical case against the San Francisco Fire Department, the work of the Program resulted in a more integrated fire department, increased opportunity for people of color in the department and the appointment of the first Black fire chief in the City's history. More recently, in Nevada, the Program team litigated on behalf of the Professional Black Firefighters of Clark County in a similar suit, obtaining over $600,000 in damages for the organization. The Program team also successfully argued two federal appeals involving challenges to the San Francisco Minority and Women's Contracting Ordinance.

    Extractions: January 22, 2003 ALL THE BLATHER Like everyone else in the universe, I too have strong opinions about how universities should run their admissions systems. But there is no Ann's Opinion Clause in the Constitution. There is, however, an Equal Protection Clause. The 14th Amendment to the Constitution prohibits states from discriminating on the basis of race. It says: Nor shall any state "deny to any person within its jurisdiction the equal protection of the laws." That amendment grew out of the Republicans' first big dust-up with the Democrats over race – the Civil War . Then, as now, Democrats demanded the right to discriminate on the basis of race. The 14th Amendment sternly informed Democrats that they would have to stop. Democrats dropped slavery but desperately clung to state-sanctioned race discrimination for another hundred years. It took a Supreme Court ruling in 1954 and a Republican president sending in the National Guard to force Democrats to stop their infernal race discrimination. In the 1954 case Brown v. Board of Education, the Supreme Court held that the Equal Protection Clause prohibited the states from engaging in race discrimination in education. Democrats responded with massive resistance.

    Extractions: By Randall Kennedy. New York: Random House, 2002. Pp. 676. ($30.00). R. Richard Banks Whereas intimate decision-making is associated with the ineffable mysteries of love and sexual attraction, racial equality brings to mind the public realm: employment, education, housing, and politics. State regulation seems desirable in one sphere and inimical to the other. This intuitive distinction is reflected in divergent attitudes toward judicial decisions pertaining to laws that mandated racial segregation in intimate relations on the one hand and in the public realm on the other. Although Loving v. Virginia invalidated nearly as many state statutes as Brown v. Board of Education many legal scholars likely do not know the year that Loving was decided. The miscegenation laws it voided seem less central to racial equality than the de jure

    Extractions: Y ale law professor Jack Balkin offers a lengthy critique of my recent NRO essay in which I disputed the Left’s contention that the result in Brown v. Board of Education is incompatible with an originalist approach to constitutional interpretation. Balkin’s critique is yet another example of the insistence by non-originalists that they know what originalism is better than dedicated originalists (such as Michael McConnell and Robert Bork). His critique also repeatedly misstates the arguments he takes issue with. Balkin begins by asserting that I try “to show that it is obvious” that the result in Brown is consistent with originalism. My aim was far more modest: to show that there are serious originalist arguments for the result in Brown . To show, in other words, that, contrary to the Left’s contention, it is far from obvious that the result in Brown is inconsistent with originalism.

    Extractions: HREOC Home Social Justice Home Native Title Home Corporate Responsibilities Home Human rights constitute the ethical basis of the social contract between those who exercise power and accrue wealth, and those whose lives are affected by this exercise and accrual. Where such a relationship has no ethical basis and is inconsistent with human rights principles it is not a sustainable relationship. Coercion may prolong it for some time but this is costly to maintain and eventually becomes exhausted. Where human rights principles form the basis of a relationship between mining companies and Indigenous communities, then, by necessity it is a sustainable relationship based on free and informed consent. Summary Principles The human rights principles that are relevant to developing a sustainable relationship between Indigenous people and mining companies are racial equality and non-discrimination; effective participation; right to protection and maintenance of culture; and self-determination. Mining companies committed to incorporating human rights into policy and practice, must move beyond the constraints of regulatory regimes which are inconsistent with these principles and develop a relationship with Indigenous people based on consent.
