Sen. Webb’s diversity diversion

My latest op-ed, with the title above, appeared in The Virginian-Pilot Wednesday.  Since I wrote this blog post, the response of the Virginia NAACP”s executive director was made public and he was interviewed on TV. The discussion of Sen. Webb’s op-ed continues, both online and off. (Just ran across this post last night.) I suspect this op-ed will be an issue again in 2012, when Webb will be on the ballot for re-election.

One issue I should mention: that of the benefits of affirmative action for white women. One of the many sources that I read on this topic can be found here. But a Google search brings up a ton of them.

About Vivian J. Paige

A former candidate, I've learned a lot about politics, both good and bad. I'd prefer more of the former and a lot less of the latter and I'm trying to do my part!

  1. A Democrat writing about a Democrat who complained about a Democrat.

    That’s the Virginian-Pilot in a nutshell.
