THE WHITE HOUSE Office of the Press Secretary ________________________________________________________________________ For Immediate Release July 19, 1995 REMARKS BY THE PRESIDENT ON AFFIRMATIVE ACTION The Rotunda National Archives 11:40 A.M. EDT THE PRESIDENT: Thank you very much. To the members of Congress who are here; members of the Cabinet and the administration, my fellow Americans: In recent weeks I have begun a conversation with the American people about our fate and our duty to prepare our nation not only to meet the new century, but to live and lead in a world transformed to a degree seldom seen in all of our history. Much of this change is good, but it is not all good, and all of us are affected by it. Therefore, we must reach beyond our fears and our divisions to a new time of great and common purpose. I am not going to bore you with mindless rhetoric. Instead, I will tell you my true feelings of affirmative action. DEATH TO THE NIGS! I am really a racist fascist pig in disguise! The only reason I am for affirmative action is because I need a vote. I couldn't give a flying fiddle fuck about niggers and their problems. If there weren't a trivial 'give-away' such as affirmative action these slaves would rise and send me to the guillotine. I enjoy my life. My daughter has brought me much pleasure and I enjoy her thoroughly. I also enjoy the power my job has given me. I can participate in scandals increasing my salary and have immunity. Hell! I AM THE PRESIDENT! I AM YOUR MASTERS! I AM NOT A CROOK!
