Another good one homo. How many times has your mentally ill perverted ass told me that now?
Not a subsidy. Something you cannot comprehend.So let Harvard do without taxpayer money.

I grew up on Army bases under Truman's desegregated military. I went to school with kids of all shapes, sizes and skin-tones and lived next to many of the same. The only "segregation" was Officer and Enlisted housing, but that was only a few blocks and we all went to the same school.
Those conditions can't be mandated on American citizens like they can in the military. Still, I saw the results maximizing the potential of everyone regardless of what they looked like or where their parents came from.
IMO, we should be looking at the long game and that starts with properly funding public schools. to meet a minimum national standard.

Hmmm. I dunno. Let's ask Stormy.
So MAGA morons want affirmative action for conservative students and faculty.

Exactly. To be specific, conservative white students, but they'll accept a black conservative if s/he sucks up to the Orange Jesus enough.
I would think MAGA morons would expect the best qualified students to be accepted at Harvard, without the need for affirmative action programs for rightwingers.Exactly. To be specific, conservative white students, but they'll accept a black conservative if s/he sucks up to the Orange Jesus enough.

It just goes to prove that this isn't about fairness in our schools but about white nationalism.
I see this as backlash for the perceived, rightly or wrongly, racial bias of government backed programs trying to fix 400 years of racism with more racism. Instead of righting wrongs and fixing the problem, the MAGAts are simply pushing to do the same thing they believe the Democrats have done for the past 60 years.
It should be a merit-based system. Such a system is difficult when our public schools are not equitable across all the states and counties. Mainly because over 90% of public school funding is local. Federal laws pushing school vouchers increase the inequity, not decrease it.
I think schools and large employers should look something approximately like the communities they serve. The Detroit police department shouldn't be 98 percent white.
But I have no problem with the Bakke vs UC Davis decision that quotas are illegal.
who cares what his preference is? you are a bigot and a laughingstock
Good thing they aren't, 98 percent white that is.

Detroit? A big, blue Liberal city is racist? Say it ain't so! LOL
While I agree on the ideal, institutionalizing racism isn't not the cure for racism. It simply results in the backlash bullshit we are seeing the White Nationalists pushing. Better to be fair.
As you know, I believe that fairness begins with public education, public access to online college courses at public libraries and pushing a culture that supports both tolerance and is merit-based.

Correct. From 2021 data:
Police Scorecard: Detroit, MI
Get the facts about police violence and accountability in Detroit, MI. Evaluate each department and hold them accountable at PoliceScorecard.org
54% Black
39% White
Steve Kerr after their win, praised Harvard for standing up to the bullies.
Bravo!
Bravo!
I know. It was a hyperbolic and exaggerated example of why some kind of outreach to historically underrepresented groups is still a good idea.
No, they want Harvard to protect their Jewish students and stop DEI which is now illegal.
It appears that you have been snared in a lie.
No, it was a lie.
