BOOK REVIEWS Website of the Month - November 2002 Commission for Racial Equality (CRE) www.cre.gov.uk Value for ELT contemporary issues/realia/ culture background/ culture projects/ general interest/ British Studies Producer of site (and intended audience) The CRE, set up in 1976 as part of the Race Relations Act, is full of irresolvable contradictions - it has been set up by the government (a quango) yet finds itself continually in conflict with it. In a sense the government is also its main audience, along with other established institutions in society. The general public is not addressed specifically and often finds itself taking the role of interested, sometimes critical, observer. The Commission for Racial Equality works in partnership with individuals and organisations for a fair and just society which values diversity and gives everyone an equal chance to work, learn and live free from discrimination, prejudice and racism. The groups it represents have mixed feelings about its approach, what it stands for and its claimed achievements. It is mostly non-European in focus and has an unclear ambivalent relation with Scotland, Wales and Ireland (the Welsh language seems strongly supported in its publications whereas Scottish and Irish Gaelic seem to be absent). A particularly sensitive role is where different ethnic groups are in conflict with one another. It is very exposed publicly and recent problems including a scandal resulting in the resignation of its director mean it remains in a very sensitive position. Continuing concerns at the moment are islamophobia and the highly controversial so-called ‘citizenship tests’ to decide who should have the right to live in Britain.

Members were mainly pacifists who had been deeply influenced by Henry David Thoreau and the teachings of Mahatma Gandhi and the nonviolent civil disobedience campaign that he used successfully against British rule in India. The students became convinced that the same methods could be employed by blacks to obtain civil rights in America. In early 1947, CORE announced plans to send eight white and eight black men into the Deep South to test the Supreme Court ruling that declared segregation in interstate travel unconstitutional. organized by George Houser and Bayard Rustin , the Journey of Reconciliation was to be a two week pilgrimage through Virginia, North Carolina, Tennessee and Kentucky.

    http://www.pbs.org/wgbh/amex/reconstruction/activism/sf_rights.html
    
    Extractions: Historians describe the debate over extending civil rights to former slaves that divided the country after the Civil War. The same issues would re-emerge decades later, in the civil rights movement of the 1950s and 1960s. How did nineteenth-century Americans view racial equality? Eric Foner: In the language of the nineteenth century, there are various degrees of equality. There's sort of natural equality: All men are created equal, and all are entitled to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. There's political equality, which is the right to vote. There's civil equality, which is equality before the law. And then there's this kind of realm, this vague realm called social equality. Now, to some, this is very frightening. Social equality is thrown up as an argument against Reconstruction. It means intermarriage, interracial sexual relations this is [seen as] a horrible thing. Of course no law is dealing with that, and the Republican Party keeps insisting, "Reconstruction [has] nothing to do with social equality in terms of personal intimate relationships." Social equality also means access to public facilities. And that's where the

"The whole American struggle for civil rights is coloured by this model of activism," says Cobb, an English professor. "You can't be openly disdainful of different races in the U.S. anymore while you still can with gays, lesbians, bisexuals, and the transgenders. So if the gay rights movement can align itself more forcefully with the race card, it becomes harder for people to be anti-gay."

We oppose all forms of preferential treatment and all forms of discrimination including so-called reverse discrimination. Laws, programs, policies, and regulations which dictate that individuals or groups with certain demographic characteristics receive preferential treatment are unconstitutional and should not be tolerated by American voters. There is no possible justification legally, constitutionally, ethically, or philosophically for such discrimination, regardless of the stated purpose. More discrimination does not remedy past discrimination.

Search Eugene Volokh Monday May 17, 2004 at 3:36pm 1 Trackbacks Possibly More Trackbacks Another Paul Craig Roberts response: As you may recall, I began this thread by criticizing Paul Craig Roberts on two main grounds: He seems to praise decisions or call for decisions that strike down "racial quotas and preferences" that hurt whites. But he condemns as "government by judges" Brown v. Board of Education, which struck down racial quotas and preferences that hurt blacks. He routinely uses language that seems to suggest that race and sex preferences are recent innovations, created to burden whites and men, and doesn't acknowledge that in fact race and sex preferences have long existed under American law, generally hurting nonwhites and women. My original post pointed to language such as "Brown ushered in inequality before the law with the racial quotas and preferences that followed in its wake," and (from an earlier column) "[the] essential feature [of the original U.S. Constitution] equality in law has been replaced by differential group rights based on skin color, gender, disability and, sooner or later, sexual orientation." My follow-up post pointed to Roberts' response that "Despite Plessy, the ruling doctrine still held people, rich, poor, black or white, to be equal under the law. After the civil rights revolution, this is no longer the case. There are now legal preferences based on race and gender." In fact, inequality before the law, racial quotas and preferences, and differential group rights based on skin, color, gender, disability, and sexual orientation long existed under the original U.S. constitution and most certainly during the Plessy era. For all its faults, the civil rights movement helped

    Extractions: Equality Double Standard Race War White people have practiced segregation throughout History. It is conclusive to believe this due to the fact the White Race has flourished throughout History rather than dwindling such as we are during this time of accepted race-mixing. The inequalities of the Races have never been more apparent than that in the Bible. Here are just a few Bible scriptures: Exodus 33:16 "So shall we be separated: I and thy people, from all the people that are upon the face of the Earth" Leviticus 20:24 " I am the Lord they God which have separated you from other people" Joshua 23:12-13 "If you do in any way go back and cleave unto the remnants of these Nations, even these that remain among you, and shall make marriages with them, and go in unto them and they unto you: Know for a certainty That there shall be snares and traps unto you, and scourges in your side and thornes in your eyes. Until ye perish off from this good land which the Lord your God has given you." The list goes on and on: Deuteronomy 7:3, Proverbs 23:27, Psalm 144:11-12, Hosea 5:6-7. So We, the True Chosen people of God, the True Tribes of Israel, are commanded not to Race mix. We are NOT EQUAL IN THE EYES OF YAHWEH.

    Extractions: We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. These lines, penned by Thomas Jefferson in the Declaration of Independence, have established a legacy of equality for the citizens of the United States since its birth in 1776. Throughout history, this legacy has been open to many interpretations. Questions of equality have been continually raised regarding race, sex, and other distinctive factors that separate humanity. Many have speculated about Jefferson’s true meaning when he mentioned equality in this excerpt from the declaration , the United States’ original proclamation that made its inhabitants "one people." These words created, among Americans, a moral bond of principle, and the factors of time and circumstance have shaped the meaning in a variety of ways. However, Jefferson did have a distinctive meaning implied within his words. What was the intent of the father of these eloquent phrases, the author of these expressions that lay the foundation of equality in America? In dissecting the opening phrase, "We hold these truths to be self-evident," one finds that Jefferson asserted a powerful concept. That is, the mind can perceive what is truly right. Once one reflects on that truth he cannot deny it thus making the truth self-evident. However, it is important to note that these truths are not innate; otherwise every political system would be based on these principles, and that in itself makes the American regime most unique. The first self-evident truth states that all men are created equal. Jefferson, being a student of political theorist John Locke, perceived all men as equals in the sense that they are equally free. This does not imply that all men are equal in their talents and intellectual faculities. All men are free based on the commonality of their humanity. Thus humanity is the only requirement.
