Return to segregation?

My letter to the editor appeared in today's Detroit Free Press. Here it is as they printed it.

An opportunity will be coming in 2006 for Michigan voters to return to the age of segregation. The Klan is not responsible for the anti-affirmative action initiative; instead, Ward Connerly, a confused black conservative, is.

Who is Ward Connerly? A man happy to receive millions from ultra-conservative Republicans opposed to civil rights. Connerly perpetuates racism.

Society is better off because of the civil rights movement and affirmative action.

Here it is as I wrote it.

initiative, Ward Connerly a confused black conservative is instead.

Who is Ward Connerly? A man happy to receive millions from ultra-conservative Republicans opposed to civil rights. A man not ashamed to say, "Supporting segregation need not be racist. One can believe in segregation and believe in equality of the races." on CNN, Dec. 13, 2002. Responsible for Califonrnia's
anti-affirmative Proposition 209 that resulted in UC-Berkeley's black freshman admissions to fall in 2003 to 3.6% as compared to 7.1% in 1995.

Ward Connerly perpetuates racism. Society is better off because of the civil rights movement and affirmative action.
