California businessman, Ward Connerly, is known for fighting state sponsored discrimination. He has opposed "Affirmative Action", and recently failed in an attempt to pass a law prohibiting the government from classifying people by the color of their skin. Because of his political views, Connerly is now facing stiff opposition from pro-descrimination activists, reports The Washington Times.

Now his foes are mounting a petition drive to remove Mr. Connerly from the University of California Board of Regents. [...]

The petition, which can be accessed at www.ThePetitionSite.com, reads, in part: " ... Ward Connerly, the most notorious and fanatical right-wing opponent of civil rights in California, still sits securely ensconced on the Board of Regents of the University of California, using his position every day to advance a right-wing national agenda aimed at rolling back the gains of the Civil Rights Movement of 1960s and rendering meaningless the 1954 U.S. Supreme Court decision in Brown v. Board of Education that separate can never be equal."

To the race warlords Affirmative Action, the premise that blacks should be favored over whites in an attempt to right the wrongs of the past, apparently does not apply to those that do not support the affirmative action agenda. Those that are preaching that the rules ought to base promotions on race rather than merit, want Connerly (who is black) removed from his position based on his merit, rather than his race. If they truly believe in affirmative action, shouldn't they support Connerly no matter what his political views are, simply because he's black; or is Connerly "not black enough" for them?
