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

[Nostra]

MLK would condemn IM2

 

[IM2]

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

They ccan't step up to something they have never seen before. AA was the attempt to create meritocracy because whites are not entitled to all the jobs or admissions.

Really? King did not stop talking after August 28, 1963.

“We have waited for more than 340 years for our constitutional and God-given rights. The nations of Asia and Africa are moving with jetlike speed toward gaining political independence, but we still creep at horse-and buggy pace toward gaining a cup of coffee at a lunch counter. Perhaps it is easy for those who have never felt the stinging darts of segregation to say, ‘Wait.’ But when you have seen vicious mobs lynch your mothers and fathers at will and drown your sisters and brothers at whim; when you have seen hate-filled policemen curse, kick and even kill your black brothers and sisters; when you see the vast majority of your twenty million Negro brothers smothering in an airtight cage of poverty in the midst of an affluent society; when you suddenly find your tongue twisted and your speech stammering as you seek to explain to your six year-old daughter why she can’t go to the public amusement park that has just been advertised on television, and see tears welling up in her eyes when she is told that Funtown is closed to colored children, and see ominous clouds of inferiority beginning to form in her little mental sky, and see her beginning to distort her personality by developing an unconscious bitterness toward white people; when you have to concoct an answer for a five-year-old son who is asking: ‘Daddy, why do white people treat colored people so mean?’; when you take a cross-country drive and find it necessary to sleep night after night in the uncomfortable corners of your automobile because no motel will accept you; when you are humiliated day in and day out by nagging signs reading ‘white’ and ‘colored’; when your first name becomes ‘******,’ your middle name becomes ‘boy’ (however old you are) and your last name becomes ‘John,’ and your wife and mother are never given the respected title ‘Mrs.”; when you are harried by day and haunted by night by the fact that you are a Negro, living constantly at tiptoe stance, never quite knowing what to expect next, and are plagued with inner fears and outer resentments; when you are forever fighting a degenerating sense of ‘nobodiness’— then you will understand why we find it difficult to wait. There comes a time when the cup of endurance runs over, and men are no longer willing to be plunged into the abyss of despair.”
-Rev. Martin Luther King Jr., “Letter from A Birmingham Jail

Keep Dr. Kings name out your mouth.

OK, they don't have all of the now, do they? And they won't get them in the future because of the color of their skin. Meritocracy. That's going to be a shock to GenZ.

Black Americans will do fine without AA. Well past time to do away with "your skin color (whatever it may be) got you where you are."

 

[lantern2814]

The usual suspects here are losing their minds because they can’t discriminate against Asians in college admissions anymore. Those same people don’t want to compete based on actual qualifications instead of skin color.

Would you right wing whites SHUT UP about skin color. It's the only reason you have what you do and blacks are not the only ones who were part of AA.

Michelle Obama - Queen Racist - already shared her words of wisdom. She said her “heart breaks for any student who wonders about his or her future.”

What about the WHITE and Asian students who now will be able to get into these colleges where before they were rejected in favor of less qualified blacks?

Clearly, she cares only about blacks and doesn’t give a flying f about other races.

She is also a devout anti-American just like her globalist Marxist husband.

Sure, just as soon as you SHUT UP about skin color. But we all know if you did, you would never say anything.

The Obama's are professional race hustlers.

 

[IM2]

No, you jigs have been whining about it for 60 years.
You wanted even more.
Now you are STILL whining because you apparently
believe you NEED an edge to compete in society.
You are probably right.

Blow me.

Here we see pure ignorant of his own history white boy.

Since you get to use the word jig, which iss a real racial slur.

 

[IM2]

The Obama's are professional race hustlers.

No, that would be people like Tucker Carlson.

And now Elon Musk.

Asians weren't being discriminated against.

Asians are six percent of the American population, but they were 25.9 percent of the students entering Harvard in 2021. That is a full ten percentage points more than African Americans (15.9%) and more than double the percentage of both Hispanics (12.5%) and Native Americans (11%). In fact, there were more Asians admitted into Harvard than Hispanics and Native Americans combined.

If the shoe fits, kick yourself with it. Hard.


Glad to see you know what you are. Turnabout hurts doesn't it, jungle boy?

More delusional whiteness.

American dysfunction leads to another bad choice, and this one will have major lasting consequences.

No it won’t.

“Racism has distorted reality for many whites. Teachings about history, the world, the pursuits of thought, expressions of culture, and personal relationships have for most whites been both limited and false.” -Horace Seldon

“Racism has taught whites that we are entitled to privilege as a right of birth, undercutting the assumption of achieved merit which is one of the cornerstones of democracy.” -Horace Seldon

 

[IM2]

No it won’t.

Actually it will.

“Striving for racial equity – a world where race is no longer a factor in the distribution of opportunity – is a matter of social justice. But moving toward racial equity can generate significant economic returns as well. When people face barriers to achieving their full potential, the loss of talent, creativity, energy, and productivity is a burden not only for those disadvantaged, but for communities, businesses, governments, and the economy as a whole. Initial research on the magnitude of this burden in the United States (U.S.), as highlighted in this brief, reveals impacts in the trillions of dollars in lost earnings, avoidable public expenditures, and lost economic output.”
-The Kellogg Foundation and Altarum Institute

"It will end up costing the U.S. economy as much as $1 trillion between now and 2028 for the nation to maintain its longstanding black-white racial wealth gap, according to a report released this month from the global consultancy firm McKinsey & Company. That will be roughly 4 percent of the United States GDP in 2028—just the conservative view, assuming that the wealth growth rates of African Americans will outpace white wealth growth at its current clip of 3 percent to .8 percent annually, said McKinsey. If the gap widens, however, with white wealth growing at a faster rate than black wealth instead, it could end up costing the U.S. $1.5 trillion or 6 percent of GDP according to the firm."

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.

The racist right wing trolls here at usmb have had a very bad year, which is only going to get worse. This is the kind of story they so desperately have to cling to for any semblance of relevance.

Keep in mind this decision was specifically aimed at Harvard, and UNC. College admission boards for the most part, will continue their current admission policies as they are now.

 

[Carl in Michigan]

This was no surprise, and it's amazing that it's taken this long.

I hop you guys this is all on President Trump

Both this and finally overturning Roe
