From a recent interview published in the Wall Street Journal:
Mr. Connerly describes the Asian-American fight for educational equality as “probably the truest civil-rights movement of our time.” The civil-rights movement in the 1960s, he says, “was about civil rights, yes. But it became about advancing the condition of black people.” That’s why “you have people who have accused me of not really being a civil-rights guy—because civil rights in their mind is Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson. But those guys are race advocates.” Mr. Connerly offers a test for whether people are “really pro-civil rights”: “It’s when they will defend the right of a white person—a white male—to be treated equal to everyone else.”
Mr. Connerly and Ms. Wenyuan Wu lead the charge in defeating Prop 16 in CA in the 2020 election.
In the WSJ article, Ms. Wu goes on to list other big donors to the “Yes” campaign on Prop 16:
“Patricia Quillin, wife of the Netflix CEO, gave $1 million,” Ms. Wu adds, then goes on to list other givers of “big sums”: the California Teachers Association, Blue Shield, the Pacific Gas & Electric Co. Other donors include Steve Ballmer, former CEO of Microsoft, as well as owners of the San Francisco 49ers, the San Francisco Giants and the Los Angeles Dodgers. By contrast, Ms. Wu says, the lone $50,000 donation accounted for “only 2.9% of our funds.”
2setsofrules wonders why are public companies like PG&E and “non-profits” like Blue Shield donating to a political campaign? If Blue Shield has enough money for that, then it seems their premiums are too high.
With all the talk of institutional racism by the left/dem/lib/prog side of the political aisle, Prop 16 would have officially enshrined it in CA law. And yet that’s what they want – two sets-of-rules sanctioned by them !!!
