Everyone warned that old Good ol Boy Joe, to put more Judges on the Court and as always, THE COWARDLY DEMS BACKED AWAY FROM IT.....Thus far, we have the most corrupt court in US history, led by GOP criminals who have struck down..... Roe v Wade, the Voting Rights Act, Gerrymandering, sent back to the states and now this. WHEN ARE AMERICA MINORITIES GONNA WAKE THE F UP, GET OFF THE BLOGS TALKING ABOUT HOUSEWIVES AND BS OR THOSE NOT PAYING ATTENTION TO WHATS GOING ON WITH THE TRUMP LOONS AND REALIZE, THE TRUMP ERA IS DETERMINED TO GO BACK TO SEGREGATION (ie separating black men from white women) FORCING WOMEN BACK INTO THE HOMES AND IN THE KITCHEN AND BACK ALLEYS AND RECREATING THE DAYS, WHEN WHITE AMERICA WAS RULING US ALL??? And news flash, to all the blacks getting upset over this ruling.....how many years of AA have been established and how many of us with all our darn degree's and education, are still UNDERPAID, INDEBT AND STILL LAST OF THE TOTEM POLE IN THIS COUNTRY REGARDLESS WHEN IT COMES TO ADVANCING??? As a matter of record, most truly successful blacks never attended college and those that have, are second to a white man fresh out of prison on parole looking for the same job....the most who'll be effected by this, ARE ASIAN AND MUSLIM IMMIGRANTS AND WHITE WOMEN

People seem to have a misunderstanding of how AA is generally used in college admissions today. At its core it’s really about getting more middle class black kids (with lower grades and test scores) into elite schools.

This idea that if someone is rejected from Yale they can’t get into any other college isn’t correct (or really logical). Asians are over represented at many elite schools hence the negative points assigned to their application in an attempt (ironically) to increase diversity but those kids still go to other schools if rejected from the Ivies.

Affirmative action only applies to highly selective colleges that have more applicants than space for students. If a person is a candidate for Harvard, for example, and is not admitted because of affirmative action, he can probably get in another selective school or a very good state university. He doesn't have to go to Harvard to be successful.

Likewise, if a minority student does not get into Harvard because affirmative action no longer exists, he still has 4000 other colleges to choose from. Most are essentially open admission and want more students. He has no problem getting into a good college and becoming successful.

If a person is judged as successful just because he graduated from an Ivy League school we no longer value real education.

You Boomers are part of the problem. LOL

This looks more like the Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894. In 50 years, who will give a shit about the social construct of "race theory"? The majority of the modern world will be blended....and not trying get killed by AI Killer Robots. LOL

They won't care about an archaic system of defining people by their skull shape or skin tone unless it has something to do with sex. :)

https://www.historic-uk.com/HistoryUK/HistoryofBritain/Great-Horse-Manure-Crisis-of-1894/
In 1900, there were over 11,000 hansom cabs on the streets of London alone. There were also several thousand horse-drawn buses, each needing 12 horses per day, making a staggering total of over 50,000 horses transporting people around the city each day.

The next two or three generations of Americans will look at Boomer views of "race" like Boomers looked at their grandparents who openly cheered at KKK rallies.

To add to this, there were yet more horse-drawn carts and drays delivering goods around what was then the largest city in the world.

This huge number of horses created major problems. The main concern was the large amount of manure left behind on the streets. On average a horse will produce between 15 and 35 pounds of manure per day, so you can imagine the sheer scale of the problem. The manure on London’s streets also attracted huge numbers of flies which then spread typhoid fever and other diseases....

...But this wasn’t just a British crisis: New York had a population of 100,000 horses producing around 2.5m pounds of manure a day.

This problem came to a head when in 1894, The Times newspaper predicted… “In 50 years, every street in London will be buried under nine feet of manure.”

This became known as the ‘Great Horse Manure Crisis of 1894’.

The problem was solved by tech; the automobile. It became a non-event.

The divisions of the skull as suggested by phrenologists such as Johann Kaspar Spurzheim.
phrenology

phrenology, the study of the conformation of the skull as indicative of mental faculties and traits of character, especially according to the hypotheses of Franz Joseph Gall (1758–1828), a German doctor, and such 19th-century adherents as Johann Kaspar Spurzheim (1776–1832) and George Combe (1788–1858). Phrenology enjoyed great popular appeal well into the 20th century but has been wholly discredited by scientific research.

The principles upon which phrenology was based were five: (1) the brain is the organ of the mind; (2) human mental powers can be analyzed into a definite number of independent faculties; (3) these faculties are innate, and each has its seat in a definite region of the surface of the brain; (4) the size of each such region is the measure of the degree to which the faculty seated in it forms a constituent element in the character of the individual; and (5) the correspondence between the outer surface of the skull and the contour of the brain-surface beneath is sufficiently close to enable the observer to recognize the relative sizes of these several organs by the examination of the outer surface of the head.

Hopefully, they are over at Harvard and any other university that accepts public funding.

Now that Harvard has been outed as a racist university by the Supreme Court, I believe that most universities that don’t accept public funding will stop their racist policies.

No one wants to be outed as being racist.

So tell us “earl,” does that mean military schools are still racist cause they weren’t part of the decision and still have to follow affirmation action policies?
