DETROIT - In blunt and passionate tones, officials at a major NAACP fundraiser that drew 10,000 people blasted a ballot initiative that aims to restrict affirmative action programs in Michigan.

"On behalf of the city of Detroit, I say, `Bring it on,'" Mayor Kwame Kilpatrick said at the 51st annual Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner on Sunday. "If you want a fight, there is one waiting for you right here."

Michigan voters will be asked in November whether governments and university admissions programs should be prohibited from giving preferential treatment to groups or individuals based on their race, gender, color, ethnicity or national origin.

Supporters include California businessman Ward Connerly, who has backed similar proposals in his home state and in Washington. Opponents have waged a lengthy but unsuccessful legal battle to block the referendum.

On Sunday, keynote speaker U.S. Rep. Sheila Jackson Lee (news, bio, voting record), D-Texas, called the ballot proposal "the second coming of Jim Crow" and asked the audience, "Are you just part of the membership, or are you part of the movement?"

The event concluded a weekend of NAACP activities at Cobo Center. They included a career expo, youth summit and a town hall meeting featuring Democratic Gov. Jennifer Granholm and Republican challenger Dick DeVos.

The Detroit chapter of the NAACP has been sponsoring the Fight for Freedom Fund Dinner since 1956. Civil rights lawyer and future U.S. Supreme Court justice Thurgood Marshall was the event's first speaker. Sen. Barack Obama, D-Ill., was the keynote speaker last year.

"There will be affirmative action here today," Kilpatrick said. "There will be affirmative action here tomorrow and there will be affirmative action in our state forever."

yes I do know the american culture is. its a Western culture, with influences from europe, Native American people, African Americans and to a lesser extent, well not really, Asian Americans and mexicans. And yes I know that they come over to the us illegally at times, but do they impose such problems as the mexicans do? Maybe I just dont see it. And thats great that you know the person that made the national anthem bilingual, and that he was born in the U.S I dont give a ---- if he was American, white skinned and named John Smith. That doesnt give him the right to change the national anthem. It was meant to be sung one way. period.

here is an email somebody sent me that had me rolling because it would not happen to us but happens for them.


Dear President Bush:


I'm about to plan a little trip with my family and extended family, and I
would like to ask you to assist me. I'm going to walk across the border
from the U.S. Into Mexico, and I need to make a few arrangements. I know
you can help with this.
I plan to skip all the legal stuff like visas, passports, immigration
quotas and laws.

I'm sure they handle those things the same way you do here.
So, would you mind telling your buddy, President Vicente Fox, that I'm on
my way over?

Please let him know that I will be expecting the following:

1. Free medical care for my entire family.
2. English-speaking government bureaucrats for all services I might need,
whether I use them or not.
3. All government forms need to be printed in English.
4. I want my kids to be taught by English-speaking teachers.
5. Schools need to include classes on American culture and history.
6. I want my kids to see the American flag flying on the top of the flag
pole at their school with the Mexican flag flying lower down.
7. Please plan to feed my kids at school for both breakfast and lunch.
8. I will need a local Mexican driver's license so I can get easy access to
government services.
9. I do not plan to have any car insurance, and I won't make any effort to
learn local traffic laws.
10. In case one of the Mexican police officers does not get the memo from
Pres. Fox to leave me alone, please be sure that all police officers speak
English.
11. I plan to fly the U.S. Flag from my house top, put flag decals on my
car, and have a gigantic celebration on July 4th. I do not want any
complaints or negative comments from the locals.
12. I would also like to have a nice job without paying any taxes, and
don't enforce any labor laws or tax laws.
13. Please tell all the people in the country to be extremely nice and
never say a critical word about me, or about the strain I might place on
the economy.

I know this is an easy request because you already do all these things for
all the people who come to the U.S. From Mexico. I am sure that Pres. Fox
won't mind returning the favor if you ask him nicely.

However, if he gives you any trouble, just invite him to go quail hunting
with your V.P.

Thank you so much for your kind help.

A bunch of Chipotles were closed in Minneapolis but thats all I've heard about so far. All the mexicans showed up for work as usual and all the ghettos showed up late as usual.
