Matthew 12:33
Either make the tree good and its fruit good, or make the tree bad and its fruit bad, for the tree is known by its fruit.
Affirmative action is contrary to Christ. It demands fruitless trees be called by their bark instead of their bushels. It reverses Christ's command and requires test scores to take a back seat to color swatches.
Matthew 3:10
Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Affirmative action contends that fruitfulness should not determine the merit of a tree. It argues that the axe should seek out certain colors instead of certain characteristics.
Jude 1:12
These are hidden reefs at your love feasts, as they feast with you without fear, shepherds feeding themselves; waterless clouds, swept along by winds; fruitless trees in late autumn, twice dead, uprooted.
Affirmative Action calls colored leaves Springtime. It is appalled by the lack of inclusion Spring has shown for tans, reds, and browns and seeks to call everything Spring since Autumn leaves are oppressed by a system that won't allow them to appear in April.
Uprooted trees are detached from reality. They are not grounded in God’s world anymore than they are in His Word. They are dead twice over; both for refusing to reproduce and for taking measures to cut themselves off from fruit bearing. An uprooted tree has received the fruit it has sought and reaped the seed it has refused to sow, but Affirmative Action insists on calling their fruitlessness an alternative fruit bearing style.
Hebrews 6:7-8
For land that has drunk the rain that often falls on it, and produces a crop useful to those for whose sake it is cultivated, receives a blessing from God. But if it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.
Affirmative action is gay. It affirms futility and promotes sterility. It is a tree know by its fruitiness. It insists that nut trees and peach trees are the same or that crab apples and cherries should attract the same suitors. Affirmative Action calls the farmer a "thorn-phobe" and chides him for using his thistle whistle to point out unproductive plots.
“I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.” — some racist
We live in a land that considers the sentiment above to be the product of systemic white supremacy. That standard is now akin to a racist assault on sacred secularism. Affirmative Action insists that institutions should be compelled by the force of law to ignore character in favor of caricatures.
Ephesians 2:14-18
For Christ himself is our peace, who has made us both one and has broken down in his flesh the dividing wall of hostility by abolishing the law of commandments expressed in ordinances, that he might create in himself one new man in place of the two, so making peace, and might reconcile us both to God in one body through the cross, thereby killing the hostility. And he came and preached peace to you who were far off and peace to those who were near. For through him we both have access in one Spirit to the Father.
Nothing but the blood of Jesus balances the racial relational budgets. Any attempt to tax it into compliance will only produce an inheritance of racial vainglory and malice.
"I cannot possibly conceive fraternity legally enforced, without liberty being legally destroyed, and justice legally trampled under foot. Legal plunder has two roots: one of them, as we have already seen, is in human greed; the other is in misconceived philanthropy." — Frederic Bastiat, The Law
