This has been the M.O. like someone mentioned that Obama didnt legalize gay marriage, it was the supreme court. Meanwhile we still hear how he did so much for gays and nothing for blacks, which ignores both his actual initiatives AND the very public, very racist opposition he had to go through.A conservative Supreme Court strikes down Affirmative Action and dudes talking about Joe Biden.
Don’t piss me off
I mean Biden is in office and AA was still struck down, what will another 4 years of Democrat do? Ain't the point of voting Democrat is to keep things in our favor? Roe v. Wade, AA gone, Student Loans still need to be paid back.
Things could be far worse with the GOP, but still.
It's a setback, but schools will find a way around it. They'll just start using zipcodes, income bracket, high school demographics. These universities do not want all Indian and Asian student bodies.
But being used a a positive adder for admissions considerations means that it is race-based discrimination against those who aren’t eligible for the adder.If anything, it's an anti-race-based law. Which is in fact, constitutional.
Also please pay particular attention to the vote, it was 6-3 all republican appointed judges by trump and George w bush voting to end this and all democratically appointed judges voting to maintain this long thought settled law. This is why i say no self respecting black person can sanely support a republican from their policies down to their judges they appoint everything is set out to limit freedom and the civil liberties of minorities/non whites.[/I]
The issue is black folks fight harder to be aligned with other groups than ourselves
We can't act like it's just these other ethnic groups latching on when plenty of black folks begged them to get on the boat. I still hear "black and brown" in 2023
There's a reason they put a minority face on it, so folks like us who properly see this shyt for what it is can't say anything about racism. fukk that this is all on white people. Full stopThe Asian kids in this case were pawns. Edward Blum is the person that has been spamming cases against affirmative action for 30 plus years and this time around using Asian plaintiffs was his angle.
I couldn't imagine waking up daily being this naive. There's also the subtle admission here by this poster that black Americans can't qualify for white colleges without helpI guess HBCUs are gonna get crazy funding now. Black folk don't got no choice.
Would be a perfect time to strike and market imoSo what happens to HBCUs?
