Shaken, not stirred!
So now all the variations of conservatism can jump for joy because SCOTUS just put the screws to Affirmative Action. Of course, they're perfectly fine with "legacy" students, and won't DARE touch the military on this (they need that cannon fodder in these volunteer times)!

And the band played on. :|

Race has nothing to do with qualifications for getting in a college. What this has done is shown how the Democrats are still the racist party because the Democrats make everything about race. Good thing is except for Democrats most of the country do not see the color of a persons skin as a problem

Taichi, how do you explain a state like California twice voting to end racial and gender preferences in college admissions?

Guess you will have to treat blacks as normal people now instead of an inferior race.

I hope you can adjust

And since folk like you will rejoice in discriminating policies in the private sector under the guise of "free speech" and "private enterprise" and " states rights", it's no guess work that you're just another intellectually challenged right wing troll use the lame tactic of projection.

Post #10....more for your mind to deny.

Spare me your revisionist rhetoric (Dems control everything in the country...no Southern Strategy, no Jim Crow, no redlining...etc., etc.). What this does is removal a partial federal mandate, but does not prevent folk of good will, honesty and common sense from letting their state educational system regress to the subliminal and subconscious racism that ruled for so long.

Nope. Are Republicans saying legacy students aren't smart enough to get into college on their grade point average? Seems so, as the SCOTUS WON'T TOUCH THAT WITH A TEN FOOT POLE!

I was curious more in the context of voters in a pretty progressive state supporting this twice in two different ballot initiatives.

I chalk it up to what I call "tribal fighting". Fortunately, there is enough progressive folk there to do as the article points out.

How is it discrimination?

You get good grades you get into better colleges.

You and your ilk are the ones saying blacks are not capable of getting good grades.

Hell, why even admit them to college, just give them a fucking degree for whatever they want.

That's how the likes of Harvard and Yale work now.....if you get accepted then you get a degree....what you do over the years in between is largely irrelevant.
