Via Glenn Reynolds, I saw Michael Barone’s analysis of a Sixth Circuit decision overturning Michigan’s Civil Rights Initiative:
It’s racially discriminatory to prohibit racial discrimination. That’s the bottom line of a decision issued Friday, just before the Fourth of July weekend, by the United States Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.
The case was brought by an organization called By Any Means Necessary to overturn a state constitutional amendment passed by a 58 percent majority of Michigan voters in November 2006.
Let’s see. If it is racial discrimination to prohibit racial discrimination, then obviously, being against racism must itself be a form of racism.
Little wonder that the phrase “That’s racist!” has become a popular punch line for comedians.
And I am reminded that “that’s not funny“!

If I had a world of my own, everything would be nonsense. Nothing would be what it is because everything would be what it isn’t. And contrary-wise; what it is it wouldn’t be, and what it wouldn’t be, it would. You see?
