Answer: Archibald Carey, 1952
——————————

“ You can’t talk about solving the economic problem of the Negro without talking about billions of dollars. You can’t talk about ending the slums without first saying profit must be taken out of slums. You’re really tampering and getting on dangerous ground because you are messing with folk then. You are messing with captains of industry… Now this means that we are treading in difficult water, because it really means that we are saying that something is wrong… with capitalism… There must be a better distribution of wealth and maybe America must move toward a democratic socialism…..
….Starting in 1965, King began to express doubts about the United States’ role in the Vietnam War. In an April 4, 1967 appearance at the New York City Riverside Church — exactly one year before his death — King delivered Beyond Vietnam: A Time to Break Silence. In the speech he spoke strongly against the U.S.’s role in the war, insisting that the U.S. was in Vietnam “to occupy it as an American colony” and calling the U.S. government “the greatest purveyor of violence in the world today.” But he also argued that the country needed larger and broader moral changes:

A true revolution of values will soon look uneasily on the glaring contrast of poverty and wealth. With righteous indignation, it will look across the seas and see individual capitalists of the West investing huge sums of money in Asia, Africa and South America, only to take the profits out with no concern for the social betterment of the countries, and say: “This is not just.” ….
….King and the FBI
King had a mutually antagonistic relationship with the FBI, especially its director, J. Edgar Hoover. Under written directives from Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy (at Hoover’s initiation), the FBI began tracking King and the SCLC in 1961. Its investigations were largely superficial until 1962, when it learned that one of King’s most trusted advisers was New York City lawyer Stanley Levison. The FBI found that Levison had been involved with the Communist Party USA. Another key King lieutenant, Hunter Pitts O’Dell, was also linked to the Communist Party by sworn testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC). The Bureau placed wiretaps on Levison’s and King’s home and office phones, and bugged King’s rooms in hotels as he traveled across the country. The Bureau also informed Attorney General Robert F. Kennedy and President John F. Kennedy, both of whom unsuccessfully tried to persuade King to dissociate himself from Levison. For his part, King adamantly denied having any connections to Communism, stating in a 1965 Playboy interview[47] that “there are as many Communists in this freedom movement as there are Eskimos in Florida”; to which Hoover responded by calling King “the most notorious liar in the country.”

The attempt to prove that King was a Communist was in keeping with the feeling of many segregationists that blacks in the South were happy with their lot but had been stirred up by “communists” and “outside agitators.” Lawyer-advisor Stanley D. Levison did have ties with the Communist Party in various business dealings, but the FBI refused to believe its own intelligence bureau reports that Levison was no longer associated in that capacity. Movement leaders countered that voter disenfranchisement, lack of education and employment opportunities, discrimination and vigilante violence were the reasons for the strength of the Civil Rights Movement, and that blacks had the intelligence and motivation to organize on their own.

Later, the focus of the Bureau’s investigations shifted to attempting to discredit King through revelations regarding his private life. FBI surveillance of King, some of it since made public, attempted to demonstrate that he also engaged in numerous extramarital affairs. However, much of what was recorded was, as quoted by his attorney, speech-writer and close friend Clarence B. Jones, “midnight” talk or just two close friends joking around about women. Further remarks on King’s lifestyle were made by several prominent officials, such as President Johnson who notoriously said that King was a “hypocrite preacher”.

In 1989, Ralph Abernathy, a close associate of King’s in the civil right movement, stated in his book about the movement that King was a womanizer. The book was titled And The Walls Came Tumbling Down, and was published by Harper & Row. The book was reviewed in The New York Times on October 29, 1989. Allegations of King’s sexual conduct were discussed in that review, where Abernathy said that he only wrote the term womanizing, and did not specifically say King had extramarital sex.[49] Also, evidence indicating that King possibly engaged in sexual affairs is detailed by history professor David Garrow in his book Bearing the Cross: Martin Luther King, Jr. and the Southern Christian Leadership Conference, published in 1986 by William Morrow & Company. It was not proven whether he agreed to have sex with a woman the night before his assassination.

The FBI distributed reports regarding such affairs to the executive branch, friendly reporters, potential coalition partners and funding sources of the SCLC, and King’s family. The Bureau also sent anonymous letters to King threatening to reveal information if he did not cease his civil rights work. One anonymous letter sent to King just before he received the Nobel Peace Prize read, in part, “…The American public, the church organizations that have been helping — Protestants, Catholics and Jews will know you for what you are — an evil beast. So will others who have backed you. You are done. King, there, is only one thing left for you to do. You know what it is. You have just 34 days in which to do (this exact number has been selected for a specific reason, it has definite practical significance). You are done. There is but one way out for you. You better take it before your filthy fraudulent self is bared to the nation.”[50] This statement is often interpreted as inviting King’s suicide,[51] though William Sullivan argued that it may have only been intended to “convince King to resign from the SCLC.”[52]

Finally, the Bureau’s investigation shifted away from King’s personal life to intelligence and counterintelligence work on the direction of the SCLC and the Black Power movement.

In January 31, 1977, in the cases of Bernard S. Lee v. Clarence M. Kelley, et al. and Southern Christian Leadership Conference v. Clarence M. Kelley, et al. United States District Judge John Lewis Smith, Jr., ordered all known copies of the recorded audiotapes and written transcripts resulting from the FBI’s electronic surveillance of King between 1963 and 1968 to be held in the National Archives and sealed from public access until 2027.

Across from the Lorraine Motel, next to the rooming house in which James Earl Ray was staying, was a vacant fire station. The FBI was assigned to observe King during the appearance he was planning to make on the Lorraine Motel second-floor balcony later that day, and utilized the fire station as a makeshift base. Using papered-over windows with peepholes cut into them, the agents watched over the scene until Martin Luther King was shot. Immediately following the shooting, all six agents rushed out of the station and were the first people to administer first-aid to King. Their presence nearby has led to speculation that the FBI was involved in the assassination…..

Për të gjithë ata që janë pro pakicave, të shtypurve, të dobëtit, progresistët dhe viktimat e rracizmit, ai është shembulli më i gjallë sesi nuk duhet kurrë ti ulsëh kokën thundrës së të fortit.

Ago, ne po flasim me fakte, ndersa ti po flet me parrulla. Ky eshte ndryshimi. Se ti ke qejf te besosh ne slogane, kjo sinqerisht as me hyn ne pune fare. Por kur nje naiv i pabalancuar, si ty, fillon e ben moral - kjo po qe eshte sinqerisht e neveritshme. Merr njehere faktet tamam e pastaj hajde e na fol per racizem ndaj pakicave e na jep leksione per te drejtat e progresisteve te tu. Agush, ke degjuar per afirmative action ti, e di se c’eshte? Pakica nuk jane vetem te zinjte ne amerike, ka dhe te tjere si p.sh aziatiket. Por cudi ata megjithese me disfavore shtese si gjuha, nuk kerkojne ndonjehere t’u behen favore, sic ulerasin e bertasin te zinjte. Pse aziatiket “paragjykohen” ne Amerike si njerez punetore dhe qe respektojne ligjin, ndersa zezeqerit si njerez dembele qe vetem ankohen dhe kerkojne gjithmone me shume nga c’meritojne? Aziatiket e plotesojne me mire se zezeqerit kushtin e te qenit pakice, atehere pse keto paragjykime? S’ka asnje baze tek e verteta per to?

Ke degjuar ti Ago trimi psh per gjithe ato rastet e famshme gyqesore te O.J. Simpsoni-t, M. Jackson-it, apo te Kobe Bryant, te cilet ne saje presionit te te zinjve ndaj sistemit te drejtesise, ne emer te te drejtave te atyre pakicave te shtypura e te dobeta, sic u thua ti, dolen te pafajshem? A e di ti Ago, se edhe antaret e jurise ne keto gjyqe jane shprehur se ata ishin te bindur ne fajesine e protagonisteve por ishin ceshtjet teknike (?) qe nuk i lejuan ata te votonin ndryshe? A e di ti Ago se sa raste ka patur ketu ne Amerike kur komuniteti i te zinjve ka marre rruget per te protestuar ne mbrojtje te krimineleve te provuar me pretendimin e vetem te diskriminimit racor edhe kur provat per te kunderten kane qene te qarta? Vetem para dy ditesh pashe nje emision ne TV kur nje zezak (56 vjec) kishte vrare nje adoleshent te bardhe per aresye qesharake, fitoi pafajesine se doli ne mbrojtje te tij komunitet zezak me ne krye Jesse Jackson-et e Al Sharpton-et - arkitektet e “teorise se viktimes raciste” qe ne fakt po shkaterron ate komunitet?
Ne qofte se ka racizem ndaj zezeqerve (pakice e shtypur) ne Amerike, atehere pse Hally Berry, ose me mire pse politikane si Obama qe jane gjysma te bardhe e gjysma te zinj, e kane neglizhuar komplet krahun e bardhe? Vetem para ca kohesh Obama gjate fushates elektorale zuri ne goje gjyshen e tij te bardhe, dhe heren e pare qe e permendi, tha per turp te tij se ajo ishte tipike e bardhe dhe si e tille kishte frike nga te zinjte. Ishte ajo gjyshe qe e rriti Obamen. Gjithe ato qe Obama arriti ne jete, i arriti vetem ne saje te mbeshtejtjes nga ana e se emes. Shkollat private qe i ndoqi qysh i vogel, universitetet me te mira qe vajti me pas etj. I ati e braktisi (sic 75% e zezeqerve e kane zakon) Obamen qysh ai ishte 2 vjec, e megjithate sic te thashe deri para ca kohe, ai vetem anen e te atit kishte zene ne goje. Sic u shpreh edhe nje nga gazetaret e ketushem: “Obama e kishte hedhur gjyshen qe e rriti poshte rrotave te autobuzit. Dhe tani (rasti i vetem qe e permendi) i jep autobuzit mbrapa per ti kaluar edhe nje here rrotat mbi te”
Pra pse keta njerezit e famshem gjysem te bardhe-gjysem te zinj na dalin hapur per pjesen e zeze por e mbajne si fshehur ate te bardhen kur zezeqerit na qenkan te diskriminuar ne Amerike?

Diskutimi per racen ne Amerike eshte ende tabu. Shume te bardhe jane ngopur me propagande dhe thjesht duan t’i shmangen ketij diskutimi, ose nga frika se mos i quajne “raciste” (ka raste sa te duash per kete), ose thjesht se kane humbur shpresen se do te jete ndonje diskutim i balancuar. Obama thote se duhet te flasim per racen por me kete ai nenkupton vetem leksionet qe te zinjte kane qejf t’u japin te bardheve ne kete aspekt. Dhe pasi degjojme leksionet e tyre sigurisht duhet te durojme edhe “pordhet” e Agove & Co, packa se as e kane idene se perse behet fjale dhe as rron ketu ne Amerike qe ta dije.
Ne qofte se do hapet “kutia e Pandores” (debati per racen), atehere nuk duhet t’u mohohet e drejta per te marre pjese ne kete diskutim dhe e shumices, qe ne rastin e Amerikes edhe per ca kohe do jene te bardhet.

E gjithë bota i përulet me respekt, vetë Amerika e nderon, me çmimin Nobël u nderua, disa shqiptarë që, nuk patën lindur kur ai u flijua për të drejtat e njeriut, gjejnë guximin dhe mendojnë se e përbaltin.

Eshte qesharake argumenti se ne s’kishim lindur kur ai luftonte per te drejtat e njeriut (saktesim - te zezeqerve vetem). Nuk paskemi te drejte te shprehim nje opinion tonin ne? Po diku e kam degjuar kete kengen tende Ago. Po ti Ago, kishe lindur atehere qe na e merr ne mbrojtje me kaq zjarr?
Pervec kesaj une jam nga ata qe nuk me pelqen te vete pas turmes. Me teper besoj kete thenien:

If fifty million people say a foolish thing, it is still a foolish thing. (Anatole France)

Sepse ka akoma rracizem dhe trungje racistash te vjeter ne amerike, dhe filiza racistesh te rinj, qe i kuptojne vetem siperfaqet e ceshtjeve nga derra si Rush Limbaugh dhe te tjere hipokrite si ky. Keta domosdo do merren m e stereotipe, u vene nota per “punetore” te mire racave te tjera e duke bere keshtu e vendosin veten (racen e bardhe) ne pozicion superioriteti. Ky pra eshte racizmi se nuk ka bisht, racizmi eshte te paragjykosh tjetrin, te thuash:”pse aziatiket jane puntore por te zinjte llafazane…”

Te mohosh qe ne ShBA ka probleme racizmi karshi te zinjve, latinove, aziatikeve dhe emigranteve eshte te mohosh nje te vertete qe shihet dhe preket, sic i themi duhet me “take your head out of your ass”…

Sepse nese do jemi te sinqerte duhet te themi se ai femija qe lind ne ghetto i ka shancet shume te veshtira per te dale nga ghettoja, perballet me droge, krim dhe perbuzje qe ne femijri dhe nuk mund te flitet per Hally Berri e per Oprah se keto jane vetem perjashtimet qe provojne regullin.

Keta femije te zinj qe lindin ne mjerim dhe rriten ne skamje ne vendin me te pasur te botes jane prove e ndarjes raciale/ekonomike/kulturore ne kete vend. Se s’do mend qe femijet e ketille do rriten per tu bere kriminelet dhe te burgosurit e se ardhmes - dhe kjo eshte idiotesia e atyre qe i perbuzin, qe nuk kuptojne se neser kjo kosto e edukimit te tyre sot do u vije si fature e 100 fishuar kur produkti i ghettos te shkaktoje probleme…

Veten 36% e femijeve ne zonat “urbane” (lexo te zinj) marrin diplomen e shkolles se mesme. 36% ne NY dhe “national average” lekundet diku tek 40%…qe dmth qe 60% e ketyre te rinjve jane me 8 vjecare. Dhe administrata Bush i ka prere te gjitha fondet per programet jashteshkollore. As muzike, as sport, as hobby te mos zhvillojne keta femije, por te dergjen trotuareve ku do shesin heroine se s’ka pune tjeter. Tani cfare parashikon te mbaje e ardhmja pervecse me teper pabarazi Dhe ARMY e NAVY kasten shkojne rekrutojne keta ushtare, mishin per top…

Fol sa te duash per te metat e Affirmative Action po ballanca eshte aq shume e renduar ne njerin krah sa AA s’eshte boll per te bere ndonje ndryshim real. Ne ketu luftojme Luften ne Afganistan, Luften kundra Al-Qaidas, terrorizmit, Luften ne Irak etj etj por nuk luftojme Luften kundra injorances, Luften kundra kancerit, Luften kundra varferise…etj etj.

Keta tipat konservative jance ca kukuthe qe mblidhen ne ato strofkat e tyre dhe ankohen/masturbohen se duan, si dikur t’i therrasin “negros and boys”, sic gjyshirit - por nuk kuptojne dot se me kete qorresi qe e drejtojne vendin ne beteja te humbuara vetem se na e perkeqesojne te ardhmen.

We’re all in this together! Nuk eshte ceshtje deshirash, por probleme qe na perkasin te gjitheve dhe do i zgjidhim bashke - me hir apo me pahir. Se (fatkeqsisht per konservatoret) keta te zinjte e bezdisshem nuk i dergojme dot mbrapsht ne Afrike…Sorry.

“The government gives them the drugs, builds bigger prisons, passes a three-strike law and then wants us to sing ‘God Bless America.’ No, no, no, God damn America, that’s in the Bible for killing innocent people,” he said in a 2003 sermon. “God damn America for treating our citizens as less than human. God damn America for as long as she acts like she is God and she is supreme.”

Une do tju kujtoj perseri Cosbin ……..”It’s not what they’re doing to us. It’s what we’re not doing”.

Shtypja ekonomike i detyron. Cfare mendon se dikush zgjedh me jetu ne ghetto? Nuk kam as kohe as deshire t’i hyj kesaj bisede se duhen njerez me te mencem se ne per ta bere, por te them vetem qe nuk behet fjale per “faje historike” si skllaveria por per PABARAZINE ne ShBA sot. Menyra si e shtron ti toko eshte kryekeput gabim se nuk behet fjale per te pare si ke care ti ne jete…se si ti ka miljona zezake qe gjithashtu kane ecur e kane arritur sukses por arritjet personale nuk e zhbejne nje realitet.

Meqe sot gjithcka eshte biznes korporatash, a di te me thuash sa % e CEO-ve ne Fortune 500 jane te zinj? Sa % e pozicioneve te menaxhimit jane te zinj?
Me pak se 1% (NPR)

Tani, nuk te duket se ka dicka qe nuk shkon ne kete sistem qe nje grup qe perben 30% te popullsise nuk arrin te perfaqsohet ne biznes as ne nivelin 1%?? Pse? Me jep dy apo tre alternativa te kesaj “Pse” dhe vazhdojme pastaj…

Te mohosh qe ne ShBA ka probleme racizmi karshi te zinjve, latinove, aziatikeve dhe emigranteve eshte te mohosh nje te vertete qe shihet dhe preket

Une nuk e thashe qe racizmi nuk ekziston. Por ajo qe une shtoj eshte se po ashtu ekziston edhe racizmi nga ana tjeter. Racizmi ndaj te bardheve. Afirmative action eshte nje instance e ketij racizmi dhe jo i vetem. Ka shume raste te dhunes ndaj te studenteve neper shkolla e universitete prej te zinjve, per aresyen e vetme se ato jane te bardhe. Ne universitetin ku une studiova per 5 vjete rresht, nuk kalonte muaji dhe disa here java, pa patur raporte nga Department of Public Safety ku te rinj studente (vetem te bardhe) sulmoheshin ne kampus nga adoleshente “afrikano-amerikane”. E megjithate gjithmone fshihej prej universitetit komponenti racor. Neper tavolinat e bibliotekes gjithmone shikoje te shkruara raciste si “I hate white man”, dhe asnjehere per te kunderten.

Sa per ato problemet e tjera qe zotrote na i jep si me shifra per te na mbushur mendjen, i di me mire se ty se me to punoj vete. Po vertet nje femije i rritur ne ghetto i ka shanset me te vogla, sidomos kur i mungon i ati ne shtepi. Komunitetet e te zinjve ne Amerike kane probleme te tyre te brenshme si p.sh 75% e tyre rriten pa baba, apo droga eshte tjeter faktor qe i gerryen keto komunitete. Nuk e di ne se ke dhene ndonjehere mesim ne shkolla ku mesojne te zinj, Blend, por ne se do te kishe do shifje se si nje student qe vesh atlete $200 apo mban me vete pajisje elektronike qe ti si mesues nuk do t’i perballoje t’i blije, e pra kur nje student i tille te thote se “s’ka para te bleje nje fletore” - si do te mendoje? Drop-out rate nga shkolla e mesme prej te zinjve eshte vertet me i larte se te bardhet, por kush jane aresyet sipas teje? Kane probleme e pranoj. Por te thuash, ashtu sic bejne te ashtuquajtur liderat e tyre dhe nje takem si puna jote, se per keto probleme faji eshte i te bardheve, sigurisht qe nuk i ndihmon ata aspak. Perkundrazi. Sic e ka thene dikush - eshte njerezore te gabosh, por te fajesosh dike tjeter per kete, eshte gjeniale. Madje edhe kur ndonje nga te vetet, sic eshte Bill Cosby, thekson pikerishte kete gje, qe te zinjte duhet te heqin dore nga viktimizimi i vetes dhe duhet te shohin shkakun e vertete te problemeve ne komunitetin e tyre, jo pak here sulmohen e u vihen epitete nga keta “luftetaret e te drejtave te pakicave”.

Ti thua se jam racist nga qe shtroj pyetjen se pse ekziston nje paragjykim i tille per zezeqerit dhe jo per aziatiket. Stereotipe gjithmone do te kete,
blendi, pyet nje psikolog per kete po deshe. Problemi eshte jane keto stereotipe thjesht mite apo jane te bazuar nga eksperienca e njerezve? Qe ta bej me te qarte per ty kontekstin e pyetjes sime: ne qofte se dikush do te thoshte se zezeqerit jane njerez punetore, te zgjuar, e qe respektojne ligjin, ndersa aziatiket dembele e problematike, do te dukej me i besueshem se varianti i anasjellte? Me fjale te tjera, ne qofte se ka paragjykim per pakicat, pse ai eshte negativ per te zinjte dhe jo per aziatiket?

Fakti qe ti me ve epitete si ke qejf e flet tere pasion romantik per kete problem nuk do te thote se ke domosdoshmerisht te drejte. Vetem sa provon ate qe them me lart. Ne qofte se guxon e hap kutine e pandores, shume lehte mund te cilesohesh nga “aktiviste te te drejtave te njeriut” dhe liberale te pandreqshem, si raciste. Ajo qe ti nuk kupton eshte se une kam shoke qe jane te zinj, luaj futboll me te zinj e hispanike, punoj me ta dhe i respektoj e me respektojne. Mbase aktivitetet e tua me racen tjeter jane me te gjera se kaq, por te pakten kam aq marredhenie sa mund t’i kuptoj mire ato dhe problemet e tyre. Dhe cilesime te tilla si racist, sa me bejne te ve buzen ne gaz.

Probleme ka dhe racizem ka, per keto mund te biem dakord. A kane probleme te zinjte vete, kane dhe kane shume. E para ata nuk kane “role models”, nuk kane besim ne sistemin, urrejne vetveten, etj etj. Kane plage te zinjte shume…dhe do doje kohe se ky eshte proces i gjate sherues. Te pakten per keto mund te merremi vesh, shpresoj.

Po te nisesh te diskutosh vlerat e A.A. per mua eshte humbje kohe ndrkohe qe problemet shtohen…

Po ta bej edhe ty ate pyetjen e arsyes pse < 1% e CEO-ve te F500 jane te zinj? Jam kurjoz per mendimin.

Problemi eshte jane keto stereotipe thjesht mite apo jane te bazuar nga eksperienca e njerezve?

Asnje stereotip nuk krijohet mbi truall bosh, pa nje perfaqesim perkates ne realitetin objektiv. Por ka dicka teper subtile qe harrohet shume shpesh: shkalla e perfaqesimit vepron ne menyre relative dhe jo absolute.

Shembull: nder 10,000 shqiptare jashte, gjen te themi 50 qe tregtojne drugs. Natyrisht kjo eshte si nje pike uji ne oqean.
Nderkaq, nder 10,000 suedeze, gjen te themi 2 qe tregtojne drugs. Edhe kjo pike uji ne oqean, vetem se: sipas shembullit fiktiv, eshte 25 here me e mundur qe te ndeshesh nje drug dealer shqiptar se nje suedez. Nga kjo stereotipi “shqiptaret merren me droge” eshte vetem nje hap away.

Nga e merr kaq siguri per t’i vene vulen e injorances te gjitheve? Nqs. ti si INA nuk e di se c’eshte Affirmative Action, atehere fare kollaj, me mriesjellje, mund te pyesesh nese dikush mund te ta shpjegoje se cili eshte perkufizimi i Affirmative Action, cfare eshte, dhe si zbatohet.

Peshq, shembulli i CEO-ve eshte jo perfaqesues. Ai nivel eshte si maja e Xhomolungmes. A e dini cfare eshte dhe c’fuqi ekzekutive ka nje CEO nga keta qe po thoni ju? Ishim ne nje mbledhje dhe boti tha po qe se ceshtja nuk e kalon 50 milion dollareshin, ju lutem mos me humbisni kohen, se mua ai numur me humbet si rregull ne roundings… Nejse, per te kapur kete nivel nuk kerkohet vetem aftesia profesionale; sa me lart te shkosh ne shkallet e karrieres ne fakt, aq me pak rol luan aftesia. Ka shume faktore te tjere qe behen determinant, si psh ai i imazhit.

Une me teper do doja te shikoja perqindjen e racave ne drejtimin e shkalles se mesme (middle managemen). Por kam bindjen dhe sigurine, qe nqse ka pak zezake aty, kjo ndodh se nuk dine, jo nga ngjyra e lekures!!!

Se pse nuk kane njohurite e duhura, ky eshte muhabet tjeter….

Biznesi amerikan eshte ndoshta vendi me pak racist ne kete planet, nga c’kam arrit me vezhgu vete.

Por kam bindjen dhe sigurine, qe nqse ka pak zezake aty, kjo ndodh se nuk dine, jo nga ngjyra e lekures!!!

Madje, ka raste kur futet nje i zi me pak i kualifikuar ne ato pozicione, duke perdorur AA policy per te arritur % e duhur te diversitetit ne kompani. Personalisht une nuk jam kunder aplikimit te AA-se, megjithese eshte anti-kushtetues. Te mos pranohesh ne universitet sepse je i bardhe dhe ne vend tend duhet te shkoje dikush qe ka kualifikim me poshte se ty, eshte jo e drejte. Megjithate, per hir te diversitetit dhe harmonise ndermjet racave, le te behet. Ajo retorika me pas eshte e tepert.

Me ate rast t’i therrasim dhe profesoret e profesoreshat qe u ra gurmazi duke na mesuar neper universitete, e atyre qe u kane rene duart duke shkruar libra e gazeta, t’u themi t’i hedhin poshte librat, t’i harrojne c’kane mesuar, sepse na paska dale qe vetem nje rob i squt, nje INA INA nga Shqiperia, e dika c’eshte Affirmative Action.

WASU, po pse duke te shpjeguar c’eshte AA-ja u ra gurmazi atyre prof/eshave te tua mo? Apo ke qejf te na tregosh per Belulin? Ky reagimi jot prej bully, vetem sa tregon se me ke kemi te bejme. Ik mbaro njehere shkollen, megjithese jo se te ndihmon ajo, por te pakten kalimi i kohes do te beje me pak kalama e palaco nga c’je.

AA eshte dicka e gabura, qe jo vetem do sjell njerez artificialisht ne poste qe si meritojne e do mbaj konfliktet racale nga inatet qe do krijohen me pas.
Jo me kote shume ne amerike i referohen kohes menjehere pas luftes civile kur gjera te ngjashme si kjo AA sollen e mbajten urrejtien raciale ne komunitetet ne amerike.

Ja nusia e Obames, ka perfituar gjithe jeten nga keto programe, e jo vetem nuk ja di per nder vendit, po ka nje zell dhe nje inat, se kuptohet ka qene me poshte se koleget e saj, pasi ajo ka vajtur aty e favorizuar nga raca e jo nga intelekti e aftesia.

Zezaket kete pune do kene derisa ”biznesi me racizmin” te japi frute sic jep sot, kuptohet per zezket. Sot ne amerike qenia i zi eshte nje kart per te fituar. Obama me ate cektesi qe ka, kurre nuk do kishte vajtur aty ku eshte sote, po te qe i bardhe ose rac tjeter, sic tha dhe keshilltaria e Klintonit.

INA,

Ironia ishte ne pergjigje te ironise. Nuk kishte si te mos ngrihej nje cep i buzes siper duke lexuar komentin tend te pare. E meqe jemi tek shpjegimet, ne radhe te pare, te lutem me thuaj se si arrite ti ne perfundimin “Me vjen keq ta them, po asnje nuk e di se cfare eshte AA dhe si zbatohet. Para se te diskutoni jepni perkufizimin e atyre per te cilat po diskutoni.”, pastaj kalojme ne pyetjet e mevonshme.

Rob te squt kane dale me tonelata nga Shqiperia e do vazhdojne te dalin, ne vend te stereotypical jam ne te kundert krenare, megjithate meqe s’e paske kuptuar as se ku rrihte cekani, ta shpjegoj edhe kete pas pergjigjes tende ndaj pyetjes me siper.

This is commonly achieved through targeted recruitment programs aimed at applicants from socio-politically disadvantaged groups. In some cases affirmative action involves giving preferential treatment to these groups, a practice known as positive or reverse discrimination……
