Racists!

It had to happen sooner or later. It appears to have started in Canada though instead of one of the US “Blue States”. Give it time though and some liberal asshat governor in Michigan or Massachusetts or Washington state will issue a similar edict. “Minorty set-asides”, “employment equity”, “racial quotas” .... call it whatever you want, it’s still racism and bigotry, only it’s managed by the government “for your own good”. Hell, they even admit it is “discrimination”.

Tell me, do you think Dr. Martin Luther King and all the blacks who fought for equality in the 1960’s here in America would really be pleased to see how far things have gone in the wrong direction (and don’t bring up Jesse Jackson or Al Sharpton who are a disgrace to the entire human race)? Why not just hire the best people available, regardless of race, skin color or creed? Or is that too radical for government officials to understand? If so, then I’m a fire-breathing radical ....

Help Wanted: Must Not Be White, Male
Federal department official e-mails ban on Caucasians
(WORLDNET DAILY)

Able-bodied white men seeking a career in Canada’s Department of Public Works had best wait awhile before submitting their resumes – the deputy minister of the federal agency has instructed managers to temporarily hire only visible minorities, women, aboriginals and the disabled.

David Marshall yesterday ordered that his edict banning hiring of Caucasian males be distributed throughout the agency by e-mail. The new policy, introduced in response to the department’s failure to meet targeted employment-equity goals, will be in place for the next five months, at which time it will be reviewed.

Canada’s federal benchmark for hiring visible minorities is one-in-five. Public Works’ proportion of female, disabled, aboriginal and non-white new hires fell from one in eight in March to one in twenty in September of this year.

“As executives and managers, our role includes ensuring that the public service is representative,” Marshall wrote in his memo. “This involves providing direction and leadership by example, and demonstrating a firm commitment to an inclusive workplace.”

Robb Macpherson, a labor attorney with the firm McCarthy Tetrault, agrees Canada’s Charter of Rights and Freedoms permits some discrimination to assist groups identified by the government as disadvantaged, but the form it usually takes is through programs that promote recruitment and hiring of qualified people from those groups – not by banning members of a non-minority class.

“They are in effect cutting off a significant portion of the workforce from these opportunities,” Macpherson tells the National Post. “It sounds like a pretty extreme measure that they’re contemplating.”

Not that very many people ever read this far down, but this blog was the creation of Allan Kelly and his friend Vilmar. Vilmar moved on to his own blog some time ago, and Allan ran this place alone until his sudden and unexpected death partway through 2006. We all miss him. A lot. Even though he is gone this site will always still be more than a little bit his. We who are left to carry on the BMEWS tradition owe him a great debt of gratitude, and we hope to be able to pay that back by following his last advice to us all:

1. Keep a firm grasp of Right and Wrong
2. Stay involved with government on every level and don't let those bastards get away with a thing
3. Use every legal means to defend yourself in the event of real internal trouble, and, most importantly:
4. Keep talking to each other, whether here or elsewhere

It's been a long strange trip without you Skipper, but thanks for pointing us in the right direction and giving us a swift kick in the behind to get us going. Keep lookin' down on us, will ya? Thanks.
