Judge Roberts was right, AA is based on an ugly stereotype. It assumes that someone with black skin can't compete with someone with white skin. And AA doesn't even assume its because of social economic status. If they did they would use economic status for preferential treatment rather than skin color.
It was sad and racist.
Are you dumb or something? Do not know history do not understand the reasons AA came about? Let me guess your middle-class white person.
Lemme guess. You still buy into the notion that Rich White Liberal leaders "care" about blacks, other minorities, and illegal immigrants rather than trying to garner their vote?
For assuming that peoples lives improve for knowing how to read, write and do math? You're right, lets throw more welfare at poor communities like those in Baltimore, that's worked wonders. The cycles of poverty will continue, but at least us whites can pat ourselves on the back for being inclusive and "anti-racist."
Malcolm X was right, white liberals really are wolves in sheep's clothing. They keep the communities they claim to protect crippled in order to make themselves feel good about themselves.
No different than the whites like you to pet them self on the back by saying” I’m color blind”, and then doing nothing to help the marginalized communities in voting against any thing which would help those communities. I mean Malcolm X, the guy quote was for reparations for Black people . You want to use his quotes but you don’t wanna do what he wanted to do. That’s why you’re a racist and garbage
But You get you get to say you’re colorblind so that’s cool
(it’s like when pro-lifers claim to be for kids and then do nothing for them after they are born.)
The irony here is above and beyond your IQ. CNN is proud!
Dumb ass....that isn't how the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade started.
Please explain it to all the historians and the actual written records of how chattel slavery started with the Portuguese in West Africa? Black people were stolen. No black people invited and advertised people for sale to whites to take across the Atlantic.
How about I find you and your family that tormented my family for centuries.
What did any slave in America do to deserve their enslavement and treatment for 250 years and 100 years of Jim Crow?
My family didn’t come here until after slavery was abolished and were far from wealthy. I think you must have me confused with Obama, whose ancestors did own slaves.
I guess now is great time to tell you that black people have been in Egypt forever. I guess you never heard of Nubia, Kush and who lived in Upper Egypt.
So, about those slaves in Egypt….
Also, “Upper Egypt” is not southern Egypt, which borders Sudan. Look at Sudanese people and Egyptians… completely different people. It’s not even close.
SMH....I wouldn't expect a racist American POS to understand Egypt geography. Upper Egypt is southern Egypt, as the Nile flows from south to north. The area is formerly Kush.
Now tell me who lived in Kush and what they looked like.
Um no. There's a bunch of lies implicit in his post. One of them is that he acts like all white people today were responsible for injustices 400 years ago. Whites as a whole were not responsible for slavery or racial discrimination. The next is that slavery and discrimination is the primary cause of racial inequities today. This is also false, it's the combination of liberal welfare policies and southern black redneck culture, which caused the increase in crime, poverty and single parent homes after the 1960's and the decrease of education rates among the US black population.
But yeah, Malik, keep sucking the boots of white liberal boots by voting blue and repeating white liberal talking points.
again....some of you white folks are a MF'ing trip.
This POS said and I quote
"Whites as a whole were not responsible for slavery or racial discrimination" So blacks in America created slavery against themselves for 250 years and then passed Jim Crow laws for another 100 years against themselves. You are the dumbest POS I have ever heard.
White people are completely and directly responsible for all the racial BS we have had in American history...including today!
Dismissed.
True! Mostly liberal whites! Now we are getting somewhere!
Is the NBA racist since it's not demographically representative of the US population?
The only people complaining about the NBA is white people. Sports were only one of a handful of things that whites let blacks be in with them and we took that opportunity and showed not only could we compete, we changed the game.
You don't see us complaining about hockey or down hill skiing. Why? Because we don't partake in those activities in substantial numbers. You have never heard us say why isn't the NHL or ice skating 15% black. But why complain that the NBA and NFL are proportion to the population.
What we complainin about is the very very small percentage of minorities and women in leadership positions in corporate business and in government.
Wrong racist pieces of garbage like you exist sucking the system dry with all your white privilege not wanting to give an ounce to minorities. That’s what I’m fighting. Happy to beat your old a$
Reported. Threatening another poster because you think you have that right. Talk about privilege.
Go find the tribe that sold your family to slave traders, and let them know that you’re mad.

Nothing. Absolutely nothing. Democrats created Jim Crow laws, but you know that. Incel

Ok, let’s go with the cynicism, but don’t you think there’d be many stupid liberals drunk on the virtues signaling koolaid genuinely believing all the mush about caring about blacks and that some of those gullibles would be rich as well?

Tough luck, your ancestor’s cousin by marriage owned slaves around here, so you are implicated by conjugal cousin-avuncular association.
The Adult in the room schooled these fools and now they regress to name calling, bullying, and violence. You can't make this Redneck crap up
Cease using the racist "redneck" please.
Anyway, I think so-called "Affirmative Action" harms just about everyone, especially the people it purports to help. Instead of fixing schools and forming stronger families, it focuses on long-ago injustices, and creates new victims of racial and (sexual) discrimination.
