Tiger

Every time I want to write on the recent events surrounding Tiger Woods, I remember the Britney Spears supporter on YouTube “LEAVE BRITTNEY ALONE” sobbing and really acting like an idiot. However, I heard on the national news this morning Today Show the question “should Elin Nordegren [Tiger Woods spouse] leave him”? Really, this is the national news outlet asking this question in prime time AM. This is not “E” or Access Hollywood, this is NBC.

What is wrong with us? Yes I lump everyone into this category as we accept it. We cling on the masochist behaviors of the news outlets and must have more. I am not supporting anything Tiger has done nor validating his actions. I will also go as far as saying the initial story may bear some merit to broadcast but when a national news chain is asking its audience to ponder a question such as this….I am appalled!

Discrimination-Straightforward

If ever lived a term that upsets me to my foundation, it’s the implication that discrimination is not a be all when applied to the populous. There is no such thing as reverse discrimination. This would imply that the people you are discriminating against are returning the favor. This would first imply that you are a bigot and actively discriminating against a group of people and then are upset when this minority group of people have the opportunity to discriminate. Really; and this is a commonly used term. It’s obvious that what is truly implied is simply discrimination but the populous has had affirmative action pushed down their throat for so many years that they are seeing this as a way to compensate to faults of a society.

I submit that even in 2009, we are still seeing discrimination but no where near the levels Jesse Jackson would imply. I also submit that anyone can be discriminated against if they are using Race, Color, Creed, Gender (Federal protected classes) in their decision making process. This would include white, heterosexual, middle-aged, men who have college degrees and are working in a traditional white collar industry.

This is why I strongly support the U.S. Supreme Court decision to overturn the lower courts decision and rule that discrimination was evident in the New Haven Firefighter case. Essentially, the City of New Haven administered a test that was required in order to be promoted within the Fire Dept. Several White and Hispanic men and woman passed the test but no black candidates passed. The city wanted to review test to see if a disparate impact was prevalent and told the Firefighters who passed, they would have to retake a new test once developed. The Supreme Court found that although disparate impact may have been employed, it does not allow for the discrimination of those who passed the test and followed the appropriate process. You cannot discrimination one group of people to avoid the discrimination of another.
