Conservative group behind Aff. Action lawsuit is now suing West Point over using race in admission

[Wild self]

So now, black folk can't go to colleges that ain't HBCUs, and now cannot go to many branches of the Armed Forces.

Soon, its gonna be trade schools and community colleges, then its gonna be lights out.

Sit out in 2016, and this is the result. No more social mobility, and even group economics cannot save you.

At this rate I wouldn't be surprised if they start suing HBCU schools for having too many black people.

They want to go back to the 1940s when only 1% of blacks had anything more than a bachelor's degree. 1 fukking percent.

TLR is giddy about this, while everyone else with sense is going at how your mother having more rights than your (future) children.

Ill honestly be surprised if they get this one

They will get this one.

Why? They have already been successful in other cases on the subject.

1. They judges already gave exemption to Military Academies due to national security

2. Military officerships are also about leadership, which can cover a lot of things, and not academic merit 100%.

3. Having a diverse officer corps helps with troop morale and cohesiveness. Having one group of people overly represented in enlistments and with a higher chance of dying, while the officers look totally different wont sit well with troops and will cause issues.

I think there are more stronger arguments for why its needed, and most of the DoD want diversity in officerships as well. Thats why im not 100% sure they will get it rescinded

That's a talking that's starting to hold less weight. On the local level you have a valid point although redlining can impact that. On the federal level, the SCOTUS is appointed. Not voting by the American people in that case doesn't matter.

Can you flesh this out for me. I really want to understand your reasoning and how you came to the conclusion, that not voting by the American people doesn’t matter w/r/t SCOTUS.

Voters pick the president who makes the appointment of SCOTUS. 51 senators need to confirm the pick. Voters pick the Senators of their state. Can you please explain how your statement about not voting addresses those facts?

Voters really don't pick the President. The electoral college does. Voting does matter but I think a lot of people end the discussion there and not focus on other details. Details like campaign contributions and organizations like the Heritage Foundation that influence a lot of people we vote for meanwhile their interest can be vastly different than ours.

I agree with your assessment. I just know the folks filing the lawsuit don't give a shyt.

 

[RennisDeynolds]

This the shot yall wanted "in the open". Remind me again how exactly that's helped anything ?


Oh yeah that's right, there used to be legal ramifications for discrimination. Now they are setting up to have legal protections to discriminate

Mission accomplished I guess...

The guy doing these lawsuits better be clean as a whistle

I tried telling everyone.

They are going after everything. Unfortunately they are winning these cases.

This is why you vote.
Judges matter too

country is rapidly going backwards

what good is a court or justice system if it is biased? that is not rule of law. it's ideological horse shyt in the hands if fascists.

I don't get why people though affirmative action would last. Also don't get why the military can just do what wants. I mean what's the fukking point otherwise.

Again fresh it out for me. The voters of various state decide how their states electoral college votes are cast. Why don’t the votes that decide how a states electoral college votes go matter?

 

[T’Challa’s Heir]

I completely missed the redline part. I was still reeling from tbt don’t vote.
