		<description><![CDATA[Attorneys for New York City have asked that Brooklyn federal Judge Nicholas Garaufis be removed from the case that-shall-never-end for bias against white firefighters. Garaufis appointed an independent monitor to oversee FDNY&#8217;s efforts to increase so-called diversity in the department, which the judge called &#8220;a stubborn bastion of white male privilege.&#8221; About four million of [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[So now it&#8217;s controversial to propose that race not be a factor in receiving taxpayer-funded government grants. How, in such a short period of time, did we arrive here? A state assembly member in Wisconsin, a Democrat, introduced a measure that would eliminate considerations of race in the Talent Incentive Grant. Is the proposed amendment [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[A few years ago, racial preferences opponents attempted to put a measure on the November 2008 ballot in Oklahoma. Opponents of racial neutrality in government challenged the validity of the collected signatures, and because the validity rate for collected signatures would have been unrealistically high, the backers of the initiative withdrew it. Earlier this year, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[If you believe taxpayer-supported grants should be awarded to individuals without regard to race, you might be a racist. Last week, Rep. Peggy Krusick (pictured), a Democrat in the Wisconsin legislature, introduced a measure that would remove race from the taxpayer-funded college grant equation. An excerpt from PostCrescent.com: &#8220;The proposal, made around 11 p.m. Tuesday, [...]]]></description>
