It worked out so well the last time

Prop 16 was explicitly written to rescind Prop 209. A quick history lesson on Prop 209 from ABC 10 in California:

"In 1996 California voters passed Prop 209. Its language modeled from civil rights act, it put these words into our state constitution:

‘The state shall not discriminate against, or grant preferential treatment to, any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin...'"

Prop 209, had "language modeled from civil rights act."

That is what the citizens of California are being asked to rescind through Prop 16, civil rights language that protects people from being discriminated against by the government based on their race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.

Out: Make America Great Again.

In: Make America Discriminatory Again.

It's being positioned as a means to bring back "affirmative action," which was made illegal with Prop. 209.

What is affirmative action?

It's a process by which guilty white liberals feel better about themselves by setting black and brown people up for failure.

Too harsh? This is what Jerome Hudson, author of "50 Things They Don't Want You to Know About Trump," thinks of affirmative action:

"This policy has — in no uncertain terms — destroyed people's lives, all because of this ridiculous pursuit by liberals who cooked up the idea that we could just put people on college campuses and they would succeed, and it has not worked."

In case you haven't heard of Hudson, this is Hudson.

Not someone to be underestimated.

A Breitbart article from which the quote above was taken aired his argument:

"'What has happened with Affirmative Action over the last four decades is really painful and … disastrous for several reasons,'" Hudson said. ‘To achieve the goal of making college campuses a more representative microcosm of the United States, what we saw happening — and the details and the data I dive into — is that black and Hispanic students, in many cases, were being put on college campuses. … These are smart individuals — they study hard and they work hard — but they were put on college campuses where they did not succeed to the level that they would have succeeded if they had just gone to a tier-2 or level-B college or university.'"

Let's revisit the language of Prop 16:

Permits government decision-making policies to consider race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin to address diversity by repealing article I, section 31, of the California Constitution, which was added by Proposition 209 in 1996.

This is a law that would explicitly permit race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin to affect government decision-making.

Calling this law an affirmative rights initiative sure sounds a lot better than one that permits government decisions to be based on bigotry, sexism, and prejudice.

It appears that even the voters in California are having difficulty choking this one down.

What do you know, maybe 2020 won't be all bad after all.
