Going to a school with academic and/or D1 football or basketball prestige will serve anyone better than getting slightly better grades at a no-name school.He made the comments during a major case about affirmative action at public universities.
WASHINGTON -- Do black students matter to Justice Antonin Scalia?
During oral arguments on Wednesday in Fisher v. University of Texas, a contentious affirmative action case, the conservative justice seemed to call their abilities into question.
"There are those who contend that it does not benefit African-Americans to get them into the University of Texas, where they do not do well," Scalia said, "as opposed to having them go to a less-advanced school ... a slower-track school where they do well."
Scalia was engaging former U.S. Solicitor General Gregory Garre, who is now representing the University of Texas at Austin as the school defends its ongoing consideration of race as one of many factors in its admissions program.
Pointing to a brief the court received before oral arguments, Scalia noted "most of the black scientists in this country don't come from schools like the University of Texas."
Garre tried to interject, but the justice continued. "They come from lesser schools where they do not feel that ... they're being pushed ahead in classes that are too fast for them," Scalia said.

This is really sad coming from a Supreme Court Justice - even from a NaziCon neanderthal like Scalia.
Prove him wrong.
Youve already exposed yourself as someone that lacks the intellect to delve into semi complex issues. This is just one more tiring example.Just because other white people dont particularly like you doesnt mean much to me. Besides you are probably lying anyway. You dont even like facts.I've long known you dont care about facts. Not really my issue what you care about.I don't care what you think some studies show. There is no such feeling of solidarity among WHites.
I have a lifetime of personal experience that lets me know that something about your facts or your reading of them is wrong.
Whites do not have a feeling of group solidarity.
NOne of my bosses felt any Racial Solidarity to me. None of them ever cut me a break or a deal that I did not more than earn though getting the job done.
Plenty of my bosses liked me, after they got to know me and benefit from my contributions.
To cite other white people owning crap as a reason to claim that all white people are "advantaged" is self serving nonsense.
That doesn't benefit white people who don't own that crap or who are not directly related to those white people who own that crap.
Any more than Oprah Winfrey's wealth "advantages" you. (assuming you are NOT close to her)
Trust me. If Oprah owned the resources that all whites did I would benefit from her wealth. She is very pro-black.
Thank you, Justice Scalia, for setting us back 60 years as a nation. Your comments rank right up there with Trump's.
Sander and Taylor have long admired affirmative action’s original goals, but after many years of studying racial preferences, they have reached a controversial but undeniable conclusion: that preferences hurt underrepresented minorities far more than they help them. At the heart of affirmative action’s failure is a simple phenomenon called mismatch. Using dramatic new data and numerous interviews with affected former students and university officials of color, the authors show how racial preferences often put students in competition with far better-prepared classmates, dooming many to fall so far behind that they can never catch up.Mismatch largely explains why, even though black applicants are more likely to enter college than whites with similar backgrounds, they are far less likely to finish; why there are so few black and Hispanic professionals with science and engineering degrees and doctorates; why black law graduates fail bar exams at four times the rate of whites; and why universities accept relatively affluent minorities over working class and poor people of all races.
For telling the truth?Thank you, Justice Scalia, for setting us back 60 years as a nation. Your comments rank right up there with Trump's.
And being head of the Harvard Law Review.He would not have been going to Harvard, Columbia or Yale if it hadn't been for AA.Like what?I think there is a bigger reason that that.Because its none of your business probably.One does wonder why Obama's academic records and work are all sealed.
First Black Elected to Head Harvard's Law Review
Until the 1970's the editors were picked on the basis of grades, and the president of the Law Review was the student with the highest academic rank. Among these were Elliot L. Richardson, the former Attorney General, and Irwin Griswold, a dean of the Harvard Law School and Solicitor General under Presidents Lyndon B. Johnson and Richard M. Nixon.
That system came under attack in the 1970's and was replaced by a program in which about half the editors are chosen for their grades and the other half are chosen by fellow students after a special writing competition. The new system, disputed when it began, was meant to help insure that minority students became editors of The Law Review
Mr. Yu said Mr. Obama's election ''was a choice on the merits, but others may read something into it.''
Obama was handed the title based 100% on the fact he was half negro.And being head of the Harvard Law Review.He would not have been going to Harvard, Columbia or Yale if it hadn't been for AA.Like what?I think there is a bigger reason that that.Because its none of your business probably.

At that time at Harvard the whole place was awash in radical Liberalism/Socialism. The students knew all about Obama's Socialist father. Obama was their 'house n!gger'/token Black put in place to PROVE how non-racist the students were.
Behind closed doors 99% of the White students had the same regard for negroes as George Wallace did.
Stands to reason. Since Obama has been president we are revisiting the racial unrest of the 60's and 70's.Too bad it was yesterday.
