"When do people of color truly get the benefits to which they are entitled?”

What an illogical (and actually insulting comment) by Mr. Holder.

How is anyone entitled to a special privilege in admission to a State University? I would be the first to agree that a private employer should have the right to favor any applicant on any basis that employer prefers; but Holder is suggesting that the State has a duty to apply his Holder's personal preferences in admission policies.

This is also highly insulting to those, both White & non-White, who have legitimately made the admission standards, by implying that there was something improper in those standards. But worst of all, it encourages excuses, blame, resentment & hatred, among those who did not achieve, rather than introspection, emulation of what works, and better focus on whatever talents any individual actually has. The "entitlement" mentality, is a psychological narcotic, that destroys human potential.

I don’t care what the “held-in-contempt-by-congress” holder says. I think the incompetent judge’s dissent was racist and reflective of her inappropriately being appointed.
