Corrections: We are now going to face another generation of black people whose credentials will now be suspect because it will be impossible to tell if they achieved their positions as the result of merit or of affirmative action racism. If being black gives the you admission to an institution which pure merit would not admit you, is it not reasonable to assume that your professors will give you affirmative action grades and you will be awarded an affirmative action diploma. And when you graduate and are looking to begin your new career, will you be an affirmative action hire? And how will your fellow citizens view you and your accomplishments? Will your accomplishments be suspect, or will you be viewed as an intellectual cripple, who, but for the benevolence of genteel racists, would not be where you are?

The Supremes have just done to black folks what the KKK could never do: question black folks every achievement, and subject their entire race to a de facto second class status. This is how caste systems begin.
Blacks should be incensed at this piece of judicial racial paternalism, but I'll bet very few will question what nine black robes have done to them this day.
This is what comes from giving a handful of black robed elitists absolute power over an entire race of people. No checks - no balances. Just raw power.

I would add only one correction to this otherwise excellent article: Today's incarnation of the abolitionists are not the liberals and leftists who have now permanently enshrined "affirmative action" (a typical Orwellian phrase that completely obscures the truth of what is going on). These people are in fact the incarnation of the slave-masters of olden days. The abolitionists were honorable people who stood up and fought the injustice of chattel slavery in their day - it dishonors them to label a snake pit of poisonous liberals and leftists as their spiritual heirs.
