"Ward Connerly started thinking about what was wrong with white people right after he led a campaign to undo affirmative action programs....Although Connerly and a majority of California voters agreed that racial preferences needed to go, he realized many of the people thanking him weren't motivated by the principle of equal treatment." (DETROIT FREE PRESS) This article profiles Ward Connerly's efforts to end the use of affirmative action and discusses his latest campaign, the Michigan Civil Rights Initiative, noting "Americans need to stop using their race as the filter to judge so much of what they see, say and do."
