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

[Weatherman2020]

Asians are part of Affirmative Action and despite the finest white delusions, they aren't celebrating. Students for Fair Admissions has no students and no actual Asian was part of this case. The author gets right to be point and what he said is evident by the attitudes we read and hear in many places.

The Supreme Court Has Killed Affirmative Action. Mediocre Whites Can Rest Easier.​

The court ended one of our most effective social justice policies because anything that isn’t seen to primarily benefit white people is anathema to this country.​

t has been a long goodbye. The Supreme Court declared race consciousness in college admissions, also known as affirmative action, unconstitutional today. The vote was predictable, 6-3, with all the justices appointed by Republican presidents standing together to revoke the policy. The majority opinion was written by Chief Justice John Roberts himself, who ruled that affirmative action violates the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment. The 14th Amendment was, of course, written explicitly to revoke the racism practiced by whites against Blacks through their slaver’s Constitution, but Roberts doesn’t care about all that. His opinion attempts to capture the 14th Amendment and redeploy it to justify a white version of “color blindness” that just so happens to lock in a status quo that benefits whites.

Like last year’s revocation of reproductive rights in Dobbs v. Jackson, the decision today, in Students for Fair Admissions v. Harvard University and Students for Fair Admissions v. University of North Carolina, achieves a long-standing conservative policy goal through the fiat of six unelected Supreme Court justices. Conservatives have been gunning for affirmative action since the policy was reintroduced in the 1960s (it had previously been used during Reconstruction, and conservatives killed it then too). Today is a victory for the Heritage Foundation, the Federalist Society, and the entire conservative legal establishment that has correctly identified the courts as the way to reverse policies they don’t like.

No, it doesn't. And AA still applies. This argument was had when these laws were first introduced. The laws are carefully crafted to not require any direct discrimination. They just set up enrollment targets and punish the company if they aren't achieved.

This law responds to bad law (AA laws) with a bad decision - claiming that Harvard violated the 14th Amendment. The AA law says that Harvard must discriminate. The Court says they must not. At the end of the day, it should be none of the fucking government's business.

More busybody social engineering bullshit.

It isn't bullshit to have laws to protect the public from harm. That's what the SCOTUS has done. Only question is, why did it take 58 years to get to this point, and why are they only talking about college admissions ?

Tell us how your joy in this is going to attract black voters…

The Supreme Court Has Killed Affirmative Action.​

BUMMER, Man! Now you'll need to qualify based on actual
QUALIFICATIONS, and compete fairly, so will never qualify
for another job nor loan the rest of your life!!!

 

[IM2]

And now unqualified blacks will have to actually work for what they get instead of handouts.

No surprise at all you preferred racial quotas over meritocracy.
MLK would be ashamed of what has happened to his dream

I have to laugh when a white man says some ---- like this.


Unqualified whites have benefitted the most from quotas. 188 years of white quotas overtly by law and 59 covertly.

MLK's dream never happened that's why he sad this.

Universities benefit from legacy admissions. There is no benefit in lowering standards to admit students whose parents, if anyone knows who the fathers are, are too poor to contribute financially to the universities.

How are they benefiting? Are you saying that every legacy admission comes with a donation? Because that is not necessarily true. Few do; many don't.

But let's take for the sake of argument - that it is true. Every legacy kid's parent pays a donation. How is it different from affirmative selection?

Isn't the main argument that affirmative entry encourages unworthy kids to get into the storied institution? So, it is ok for rich unworthy kids to enter the school but not poor unworthy kids?

You really didn't think your argument through, did you? Try again. And this time, give it ..ahem... the old college try.

It's funny how whites like you say things like this. Apparently you are ignorant to the reallity of your own life.

 

[WEATHER53]

This ruling and the ruling that states can’t just make things up while the federal election is in process, makes for best couple of days since Trump won.

 

[LeftofLeft]

Go ask the writer of the article chump, bcause the arguments those like you make automatically assume blacks are unqualified.

So you can’t or won’t even define a mediocre white?

It's funny just how willfully ignorant so whites really are.

Send an email to Ellie Mystal. Or better yet, read the article.

It will attract more Latino voters, now the biggest minority (further evidence how Democrats shit on blacks).

A black race hustler with either a mop or a giant mushroom on his head.

Mmystal is no race hustler. The race hustlers are right wing whites.

And a couple or 3 sellouts.

It's funny how whites

Who said I was white? I never did. Better get your eyes fixed, Blackie.

like you say things like this. Apparently you are ignorant to the reallity of your own life.

Let us know next time you get turned down for, well, ANYTHING.

 

[IM2]

And mediocre blacks will have to put some effort into it.

Mediocre whites can still be admitted by race. Whites haven't had to put much effort into admission in some of these schools. Some have paid people to take SAT's aand others get in because their parrents or grandparents went to the schhool.

Whites have been whining about this for 60 years. Because you can't make it unless you exclude others.

 

[John Edgar Slow Horses]

Time for everyone to step up to Meritocracy not the mediocracy of MAGAville.

 

[Couchpotato]

But they can still use legacy status, which means that the racism of previous generations carries forward.

File a lawsuit.
