Ward Connerly Discusses State Ballot Initiatives on C-SPAN
Ward Connerly was on C-SPAN’s “Washington Journal” today to discuss anti-race preferences initiatives. Connerly appeared opposite Shanta Driver, director of the Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, Integration, and Immigration Rights By Any Means Necessary (BAMN), a group dedicated to maintaining lowered standards for women and minorities.
Connerly explained why initiatives failed in states like Arizona and Missouri. Despite BAMN’s “deplorable tactics” to stop the measures, as Connerly notes, these initiatives didn’t succeed because the American Civil Rights Initiative ran out of time to gather signatures. State initiatives will appear on ballots in Colorado and Nebraska. Watch the video here.
Connerly also appeared on NRO TV’s “Uncommon Knowledge” with the Hoover Institution’s Peter Robinson. Connerly will be featured in a five-segment series. Check out the first segment. He explains the difference between affirmative action and race preferences. The two are not synonymous.
