Clarence Thomas delivered what is arguably the most profound opinion from the top court since Brown v. Board of Education. In a concurring opinion, Justice Thomas clearly spelled out the issue of racism in college admissions.
The brilliant and learned jurist writes;
{"The solution to our Nation’s racial problems thus cannot come from policies grounded in affirmative action or some other conception of equity, Racialism simply cannot be undone by different or more racialism. Instead, the solution announced in the second founding is incorporated in our Constitution: that we are all equal, and should be treated equally before the law without regard to our race, Only that promise can allow us to look past our differing skin colors."}
Marxist Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson dissented and seeks to promote racism, but Justice Thomas deftly dismantled her clumsy arguments.
{Justice Jackson uses her broad observations about statistical relationships between race and select measures of health, wealth, and well-being to label all blacks as victims. Her desire to do so is unfathomable to me. I cannot deny the great accomplishments of black Americans, including those who succeeded despite long odds.Nor do Justice Jackson's statistics regarding a correlation between levels of health, wealth, and well-being between selected racial groups prove anything. Of course, none of those statistics are capable of drawing a direct causal link between race—rather than socioeconomic status or any other factor—and individual outcomes. So Justice Jackson supplies the link herself: the legacy of slavery and the nature of inherited wealth. This, she claims, locks blacks into a seemingly perpetual inferior caste. Such a view is irrational; it is an insult to individual achievement and cancerous to young minds seeking to push through barriers, rather than consign themselves to permanent victimhood.}
