Love watching elite institution own tAiR over and over and over.
He will never get it.
Weird the the side doing the "owning" is the side that cries itself to sleep every night...
I don’t think Harvard grads, who are exponentially more likely to be in the 1% of income, hold positions of public power and be part of the intellectual and media elite… are crying themselves to sleep!
“Entrenched racial inequality remains a reality today,” Sotomayor said. “That is true for society writ large and, more specifically, for Harvard and the University of North Carolina (UNC), two institutions with a long history of racial exclusion.”
“Ignoring race will not equalize a society that is racially unequal,” she continued. “What was true in the 1860s, and again in 1954, is true today: Equality requires acknowledgment of inequality.”
Sotomayor also noted that her conservative colleagues relied on arguments found in the dissenting opinions of previous rulings, suggesting that these “lost arguments” are not grounds for overturning precedent and further degrade confidence in the court.
“When proponents of those arguments, greater now in number on the Court, return to fight old battles anew, it betrays an unrestrained disregard for precedent,” the justice said.
“It fosters the People’s suspicions that ‘bedrock principles are founded … in the proclivities of individuals’ on this Court, not in the law, and it degrades ‘the integrity of our constitutional system of government,’” she added.
Well said. Whites have gained a 10-mile advantage in the marathon because we decided at the race start that blacks were ineligible. We've now had a rethink and decided blacks can join the race on equal terms, which means they can now start the race at mile 0 instead of mile 10.
Anyone who thinks they should start at mile 10 is an anti-white racist, apparently.

Asians are hurt far more than whites (who aren't really hurt all that much from AA).

This sort of ignorant thinking is the problem...
People are INDIVIDUALS. Not every white person is born into generational wealth. Not every black person is poor because of slavery.
Why should a privileged black person like 458777 get preferential treatment over a poor white person or poor asian?
So it black people's fault that they were red-lined?
So it was black people fault they were denied loans at 5x the rate as whites who had the exact credit scores and debt-to-equity ratios.
So it was black people's fault they were denied the right to vote?
So it was black people's fault their red-lined neighborhoods were burnt to the ground by racist white mobs throughout history and then the insurance companies refused to pay?
So it was African-Americans fault who were born into 250 years of slavery and 100 years of legalized discrimination by white folks?
So it was my grandparents fault they couldn't vote, or get a loan or attend school in rural Alabama in the 1940's?
So it's African-Americans fault that they couldn't pass generational wealth on to their kids and grandchildren?
So according to you black people are just lazy? If we were so lazy, then why did you forcibly bring us here to work for free for 250 years and then pay us exceedingly less than whites for doing the same work for another 150 years?
Is it the 1940s?
Is it 1850?
They tried to round up every Jew in the world and kill them all not too long ago. The Jews have somehow managed to rebound.
African immigrants all do better than African-Americans.
In fact ALL immigrants do better than African-Americans.
Things that happened in the past are not an excuse for your failures TODAY.
Stay in school. Graduate. Get a job. Stop crapping out kids you have no interest in raising.
It's really not that hard.
You fail to realize that millions of people were overtly and directly affected by your daddy and his friends being racist in the 1940's, 50's, 60's, 70's, 80's and 1990's are still alive today. That is the direct reason for the gap in net worth being 9x greater for whites than blacks today.
The National Association of Real Estate Brokers says discrimination is holding Black buyers back in all steps of the home buying process, starting with the rejection of a mortgage application.
Legacies tend to be qualified. Athletes are filling a specific role - not based on any protected characteristics. On the other hand, affirmative action literally discriminates based on race.

If 458777 and his parents are so privileged, then you would have loved being born black in America before 1980! You would have committed suicide if you were born black in America in the 1970's or before. Suicide...isnt that what you white males do the most...more than homicide.
