| Description | Momentum continues to build for a noisy showdown over racial preferences in Michigan.
Just how ugly the issue could become was starkly demonstrated last week in Lansing, the state capital. The state’s Board of Canvassers, a four-person body split by law between Democrats and Republicans, was meeting to decide whether to certify for the 2006 ballot a referendum that would ban the use of race in state hiring and admissions policies.
But no sooner had the meeting started than a mob of mostly black students from Detroit schools, led by a radical national outfit calling itself By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), stormed the building, overturning tables, jumping on chairs, stomping their feet and yelling “They say Jim Crow – We say hell no.” When a black Democratic member of the board dared to suggest that he might have no choice under the law but to approve the measure – as a Michigan Court of Appeals panel has twice ordered – he was shouted down: “Be a black man!” |
