Breaking: SCOTUS ends Affirmative Action in university race-based admissions

[Rawley]

Getting rid of legacy admissions would. But that’s not happening

Says volumes about Harvard's commitment to "diversity"

 

[Superbadbrutha]

You were the one INSISTING that Affirmative Action didn’t help blacks, and now that it’s been abolished, you’re having a meltdown over how it’s going to hurt blacks.

Quote me correctly, I said white women were the biggest beneficiaries of it and in some cases it didn't help the folks it was designed to.

It will only hurt the 2/3rd of blacks who got into colleges they would not have qualified for, except for their skin color. Now they can go to a school where they fit in academically, and the 1/3rd of blacks who would have gotten in even if white can still go to the superior school - and everyone will know they are there due to merit, not race.

when are they going to stop the white privilege of all the white men who get in that are not qualified.

I guess you are happy now that they can legally bring back Jim Crow and put the blacks in HBCUs only.

I wish all of the black athletes would start just going to HBCUs.

SCOTUS actually upheld diversity in this decision.

The title of this thread is misleading. Affirmative action is alive and well. The decision doesn't strike down AA. Roberts is too much of a chickenshit to do that. Instead, It claims that Harvard violated the 14th Amendment (???). In fact, the decision affirms the core conceit of affirmative action: that government should have any say in a private institution's policies in the first place.

It's still "alive and well" in the workplace, but hopefully this ruling for college admissions will be the beginning of the end for AA across the board.

How so? It doesn't address AA at all. Instead, it claims that Harvard violated the 14th Amendment. If they'd said that Affirmative Action violates the 14th Amendment I might consider it actual progress. But Roberts is a pussy and will twist decisions into a convoluted mess to avoid pushing back on Congress.

White women were the biggest beneficiaries because historically they too were discriminated against and since they historically were a very large part of the population, it would of course make sense that as a group they benefitted most. Nothing surprising nor underhanded about it.

MLK is in heaven clapping right now because blacks will now be judged on the content of their character and not the color of their skin.

Today’s racist Dimwinger party would call him an Uncle Tom.

 

[ActionJackson]

Yay!!!!!!


This is good news!!


Specifically, it has been white women who have benefitted the most from [affirmative action]. As long as you frame it as a racial issue, you will have animus towards it. It’s been an incredibly effective means to stimulate racial animus - it’s race-based affirmative action that draws the most controversy, and some of the loudest voices opposing it have been white women.

What Women Have Gained From Affirmative Action

Although this may be a bit of an issue for white women since they benefitted a lot more from Affirmative Action than anyone else did....but, as long as those darkies get hurt worse...

Glad you agree with the decision. And I gotta say ... white women ARE pretty awesome.

 

[dblack]

So, the Court responded to Harvard discriminating, because of a law that forced them to, by forcing them to not discriminate. Stupid vs stupid.

Thanks for the thoughtful, intelligent post.

You're welcome.

They upheld the notion that government can dictate a private institution's policies. If that's what you mean.

 

[LAUGHatLEFTISTS]

finally you old dumb white twats can get into haahvaahd.

Actually it was the dumb blacks that were getting into Harvard. With the previous unconstitutional system. But you already knew that.

 

[Markle]

First of all AA has nothing to do with lower standards.

Are you saying white women need lower standards, because they benefit more from AA than anyone in this country.

blub blab blub. them damn negroes will no longer keep you from SUCCESS. apply now. tell them of the hardships you had to endure.

No. It won't. It just puts everyone required to follow AA laws into a "damned if you do and damned if you don't" situation. Furthermore, it affirms the core problem with AA: Government should have zero say in a private institutions policies. The fact that the so-called "conservatives" of the Court don't get this is another example why Republicans are fucking useless.

Why is it a "bad decision"? This puts everyone on a level playing field. Are you afraid of the competition?

It hasn't put anybody on a level playing field. Quang Foo Foo, first generation Asian immigrant, is never gonna be on the same playing field as TyQuan Jones and the bootylicious cheerleader who lured him to accepting his university's full ride among a dozen full ride offers.
