Supreme Court kills affirmative action in university admissions

[LouderVol]

Obummer disagrees with the decision. Shocker.

Translation, "How dare they allow Asian-Americans to take away seats from everyone else."

Whole point is to stop seeing people through a racial lense. Darn Dems want to keep it alive so they can keep minorities enslaved to their perpetual victimhood and thus their need for bwanna massa lady Karen to heps them.

Dems claim that being colorblind is being racist! Can you image MLK turning over in his grave?

In today's day and age - why should anyone care what color skin you have at all? are you 1/8 black, 1/4 mexican, 2/3 irish? who cares?

The whole idea is to see people for what they are not what they look like. What they are is based on what they believe and how they think, the choices they make.

Not sure the Democratic Party is not absolutely loving this decision privately. They will raise hundreds of millions of dollars on this and continue to push blacks into believing they cannot make it without the help of the party.

Do you think the EE degree from MIT has done more for him than if he’d have gotten one from T A&M?

Or the North Avenue Trade School?

 

[StarRaider]

Not surprising at all. That's how the opinion was written. They might have well just said well we agree with Roberts opinion in many ways. This isn't the end of AA action in schools by any means.

Yeah he probably called Biden & told him to do the same thing since Joe is a puppet.

Can this view point also be applied to ice cream. Butter Pecan is now a flavor derived from a racist past.

Just like Pocahontas and others leveraging ethnicity

I'll try to link the opinion later, though I'm sure some crafty individual can accomplish that before I.

I have mixed feelings about this.

Good. It was past time. Needed to be put down.

LMAO .... who cares what Obama & Michael say about the SCOTUS rulings. They already are wealthy beyond their means & don't care about others but themselves & where they stand. They just want to act like they care so they can go on TV shows now & try to be relevant.

Race should not be a data point that is allowed to be in the database of university applicants at all (either via the university applications requiring that data themselves or via the universities acquiring that data externally from data aggregators or other third parties). That is the ONLY way to prevent universities from continuing to do whatever they want to do.

That's my thinking as well. The question of race shouldn't even be on the application

Harvard reacts to Supreme Court affirmative action ruling: Diversity is 'essential to academic excellence'

If (D)iversity is essential to academic excellence, then what was Harvard producing for the first 350 years of its existence?

Academic Mediocrity? Was that what built Harvard’s reputation and $50B endowment?

Careful, that's our next President.

Not directed at you just saw an opportunity to share something no one else has.

Harvard as a private institution should be able to discriminate who they want when they want where they want and why they want. However they should never get any public education funds or student loan money while doing so.

 

[sonofUT62]

Has there ever been a time when it did?

Usually when someone says “finally” that’s a real good clue that they’re stipulating that it hasn’t occurred yet.

 

[PEPPERJAX]

Restore colorblindness? LOL........we've never been colorblind.
But we are closer than ever before.

Thanks Trump?

 

[W.TN.Orange Blood]

LMAO .... when will these morons like her realize this insult isn't working for them anymore ...
Sounds like another spoiled liberal thinking the SCOTUS should rule for her & her kind.

That’s basically what they said here in a footnote. Harvard accepts federal funds, which brings them under the rules of Title VII, or whatever, and they basically said that the Title VII standard and constitutional standard are an interchangeable as a basis for merging the UNC case and Harvard case.

Harvard will be in no hurry to give up its federal funding.

Is this the equality DEMs have been searching for?

Supreme Court Exempts Military Academies in Affirmative Action Ruling

Though the Supreme Court ruled against affirmative action at higher education institutions on Thursday, the court’s 6-3 majority opinion will not affect military academies.

“No military academy is a party to these cases, however, and none of the courts below addressed the propriety of race-based admissions systems in that context,” the decision read. “This opinion also does not address the issue, in light of the potentially distinct interests that military academies may present.”

lol....Just making it clear for those who struggle.
I'll take it one more step for you....
Affirmative action wasn't a step away from colorblindness; it was compensation for a history of color obsession and a necessary step for becoming more colorblind.

I don’t think I would be talking about anyone else struggling. He said finally we can move toward the promise of the Constitution and the DOI and your ears heard “The South shall rise again “.
