Just can’t go to Salon.
My momma always said, ‘You dance with the devil. The devil don’t change. The devil changes you.’
I’ll stay here for analysis, thank you.
So now we get to have mediocre blacks and Hispanics coasting on their racial privilege instead?
Its clear - the intellectual left hates white people and what they believe “whiteness” stands for.
So to not consider race at all is now racist? Liberal insanity.
A couple days ago I was behind some dweeb with a “Got privilege?” bumper sticker on his car.
Amanda Marcotte is God-hating, self-hating stain upon humanity.
Little Ms. Marcotte has been drinking the koolaid so much, her skin is deep pink and she pees it.
The progressives are so entirely ignorant of so very much, it is astounding. And frightening.
Thug privilege.
“A massive blow to mediocre white people coasting on their racial privilege”
We’ll just coast on our record of inventing and building virtually every significant piece of technology for the last 600 years. You can coast on your record of living off our scraps and begging for handouts. PS- Even the “mediocre” white people have SAT scores 200-300 points higher than yours.
Black man lives on white man’s “privilege”. Blacks cannot live without white man’s money.
The counter-move to this ruling is for all white people to claim some other ethnicity in every case where it would provide some benefit.
Let them prove you are not whatever ethnicity you care to claim to be.
Can do the same with gender if it comes to that.
If everyone is officially black (even if for this purpose only)... well, that makes it impossible to enact affirmative action programs, doesn’t it?
The fun part comes when they try to put together a test to sort out who is legally of which ethnicity - an impossible feat, that, if attempted, will wholly destroy the racial spoils system.
If an article was published with a similar headline denigrating black or Hispanic ethnicity, Salon would go nuclear over it.
So, why do they have a double standard? Why do they allow such attacks against Caucasians?
Affirmative action has been used in college admissions for at least the past 40 years. That's two full generations. Why is it still necessary?
Says the mediocre White journalist, who is apparently without a sense of irony.
Because whitea were never meant to be included in “inclusiveness” or add their distinctiveness as part of “diversity”. Multiculturalism is nothing but a scam
Folks list you race as non white. Same with your children. If we are all minorities what are they going to do then? Beat em at heir own game
Asian privilege is to white privilege as white privilege is to black privilege. Different levels of intellectual superiority, hence the reason why some excel in the game of life.
Nothing more, nothing less.
I don’t need SCOTUS to tell me affirmative action is racist, un-American and unconstitutional. Even the Supreme Court can’t state “up” is “down” and vice-versa and expect intelligent people to believe otherwise. Thank the idiots who put Kennedy, Soto-Mayor, Ginsberg and Stevens on the court and the even bigger gutless cowards in the GOP establishment who did nothing to stop it. Maybe 13% of all white congresscreeps should resign so they can be replaced with Congress persons of color to make sure Congress is racially balanced!!!!!
More Black Privilege.....
Patriots beware !
Post-FDR era, institutionally indoctrinated justices seemingly avoid mentioning 10th Amendment-protected state powers concerning cases like this one imo.
Noting that I agree that the Court’s decision on this issue is constitutional, both sides of this issue are nonetheless overlooking (ignoring?) the simple constitutional basis for the Court’s decision imo.
More specifically, the only race-related issue that the states have amended the Constitution to expressly protect is voting rights as evidenced by the 15th Amendment.
But since this issue is clearly outside the scope of voting rights, there is no constitutionally enumerated right that the states would be abridging if they establish affirmative action policies.
Also note that such policies are also ultimately up to what the legal majority voters of a given state want, again, as long as such policies respect constitutionally enumerated rights.
As a side note to this post, please consider the following. There are many race and sex-based civil rights laws that the feds actually had no constitutional authority to make imo. Corrupt lawmakers probably made such laws to win votes from low-information voters, voters who have never been taught about the federal government’s constitutionally limited powers.
