NCRI on Heartland Notebook
Uncle Wiggily, head lagomorph of one of Nebraska's indispensible political blogs, has a thoughtful piece on the Nebraska Civil Rights Initiative. He take me gently to task for suggesting that David Kramer, lawyer for Nebraskans United, might be motivated by being a recipient or potential recipient of preferences. And he's probably right; while anyone arguing the case against preferences gets frustrated by the continued accusation we're motivated by a desire to perpetuate 'white privilege'*, they object vehemently to any suggestion that their own desire to maintain the present far less nebulous system of preferences might not be entirely selfless. But UW's right. We should be above all that. The case against preferences stands on its merits; let its antagonists, if they are into self-examination, analyze their own motives.
