Supreme Court rules against affirmative action.

It's about time.

Reparations for those denied entrance to colleges that discriminated by race (Asian...Whites).

Harvard is about to be sued...again and many other colleges.

Wont matter blacks still have lower IQs than Asians and Whites...they will ALWAYS place above blacks when it comes to testing and grades for being accepted into a collage
 
Justices Thomas and Sotomayor, who say they benefitted from affirmative action, divid

Uncle Thomas benefitted from affirmative action too?!! Go figure?!!

Sotomayor, who has praised Thomas, described their differences as philosophical.

The Supreme Court's most senior conservative, Justice Clarence Thomas, and its most senior liberal, Justice Sonia Sotomayor, both rose from humble beginnings to join the elite ranks of Yale Law School -- and both have publicly credited race-based affirmative action initiatives with helping them get there.

But both justices have now staked out starkly opposite positions on whether the policy should be allowed to continue, facing off in a pair of blockbuster cases that will be decided this month and address the future of race in college admissions.

"Even as these people have very similar experiences across the board, the way that they react to them is radically different," said Leah Wright Rigueur, an associate professor of history at Johns Hopkins University who specializes in race, politics and civil rights.

"Both had radicalizing experiences with racism and discrimination, and if it's true that those radicalizing experiences can push someone to the left, then it's also true that those radicalized experiences can push someone to the right," she said.
The justices' deeply personal experiences will share the spotlight when the court's latest written opinions on affirmative action are handed down.

"Their positions are really the epitome of the nuanced argument that we've been having around affirmative action for decades in this country," said Sarah Isgur, an ABC News legal contributor and former Justice Department attorney.

In many ways, Sotomayor and Thomas' disagreement mirrors public opinion, Isgur said, with polls showing a strong majority of Americans both supporting the promotion of diversity on college campuses while also opposing explicit consideration of the race of student applicants.

"The divide is why states like California and Michigan -- which are not red states -- have banned affirmative action many years ago now," Isgur added. "It's because both sides make compelling points."

Thomas, the court's only Black man, grew up poor in still-segregated rural Georgia before getting accepted to Yale Law School in 1971.

"The effort on the part of Yale during my years there was to reach out and open its doors to minorities whom it felt were qualified," Thomas testified during his 1991 Senate confirmation hearing, "and I took them at their word on that, and I have advocated that very kind of affirmative action."

Thomas is a giant hypocrite
 
Another myth

“Rating: This claim is FALSE. Affirmative Action does not hurt Asian Americans’ chances of attending college. In fact, according to a study released by the U.S. Department of Education, Asians have the highest college enrollment rate among all ethnic groups, at 59%. And in fact, if affirmative action was outlawed, it would hurt Asian Americans’ chance of getting into college.”

Of course, Kagan, sotomayor and Jackson, who always vote against the Constitution, voted for racial discrimination against Asians and whites.
 
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.
 
AA is based on the lie that black failure is caused the giant white conspiracy holding them down and that is not true. Blacks fail because they are so mentally inferior. The evidence is overwhelming.

1. Black-americans come in last in all standardized tests. Asian-americans do fine on all the tests so it's not due to cultural bias in the tests.

2. Africa is by far the poorest and most backward continent on the planet. All of black africa is now controlled by blacks and has been for decades so it's not due to racism.

3. No black has ever won a Science Nobel Prize unless you count one in 1979 for the semi-science of economics. They have won many nobels in non-brain fields like Peace and also in Literature so it is not due to racism.

4. Out of 1725 chess grandmasters in the world, only THREE are black.

5. 50 years of affirmative action special treatment and blacks have fallen even further behind. What does that tell you?
