Perfect Timing Jim Webb

Just as race issues have returned to the forefront of political debate, Virginia Sen. James Webb (D) on Friday reiterated his opposition to some affirmative action programs and suggested that white Americans are being "marginalized" by current government policies.


In a Wall Street Journal op-ed headlined "Diversity and the Myth of White Privelege," Webb writes: "Forty years ago, as the United States experienced the civil rights movement, the supposed monolith of White Anglo-Saxon Protestant dominance served as the whipping post for almost every debate about power and status in America. After a full generation of such debate, WASP elites have fallen by the wayside and a plethora of government-enforced diversity policies have marginalized many white workers."


This is not a new topic for Webb, whose complicated views on race-based programs were an issue in his 2006 Senate campaign, when some of his fellow Democrats complained that Webb sounded like a Republican. In a 2000 book review, also published in the Wall Street Journal, Webb wrote that affirmative action "has within one generation brought about a permeating state-sponsored racism that is as odious as the Jim Crow laws it sought to countermand."

WaPo

LOL I guess Jim Webb is angling for a job on FoxNews when his term runs out. Are you fucking kidding me? So "white priviledge" is a myth, wealth gap be damned, and affirmative action = Jim Crow.

Its "Democrats" like Jim Webb that make people want to stay at home and sit on their hands. Lets not forget that this muthafucka opposed closing GITMO and is on the fence about DADT. And now he appears to be endorsing the notion that its really the black folks who are racist against the good white folks.

Man, FUCK Jim Webb, I don't give a fuck who he is running against in 2012. If you go out to vote for that asshole you might as well vote Republican. Seriously.
