Another state, Michigan, is challenging affirmative action.

Jennifer Gratz sued the University of Michigan in 1997 for discrimination because she could not attend the university, because preferences were given to minorities. In 2003 the U.S. Supreme Court ruled in the case that satisfied no one. The university could take race into consideration for the purpose of diversity but could not use rigid formulas to do so.

Since then, Gratz has been active lecturing on the unfairness of affirmative action, and now the public will vote on Proposal 2 on November 7. It will amend the State Constitution to “outlaw consideration of race and gender in deciding which applicants get into college, who receives government jobs and what businesses secure state and local contracts.” As of today it is a tight race.

If it passes, Michigan will join California and Washington where similar measures passed. Ward Connerly, who helped pass the California initiative, plans to take the initiative to other states if it passes in Michigan. Not surprisingly, “Virtually every religious, political, business and civic organization in Michigan opposes the measure,” as well as both gubernatorial candidates. (Article from the Chicago Tribune, 10/19/2006.)

Ending affirmative action is only part of this story. We are also seeing a trend where states and municipalities are taking actions in lieu of federal action. On immigration, some cities are sanctuaries, whereas Indiana is considering controlling illegal immigration on its own. Abortion activists are working hard to put into place local laws that would kick in if the Supreme Court overturns Roe v. Wade.

What this could mean, is that in the future, Whites may be able to find cities or states that will control illegal immigrants, end affirmative action and welfare, and other issues of interest to White race realists, beginning the Balkanization of America. Those who want to live in White nation-states will move to these newly formed enclaves, while multiculturalists’ areas will lose many Whites and attract the dregs of humanity; such a sweet outcome should it come to pass.

It will also make it possible to compare the quality of life between different geographical regions. Will the grass not get cut where illegals are excluded? How will crime, SAT scores, car accidents, and a host of quality of life indicators differ? As like-minded people come together it increases separation and accelerates similarity in political worldviews, making additionally pro-White laws increasingly viable. This slow process could take a while, but it definitely has greater probability of success than getting the Federal government to address the concerns of Whites.
