SCOTUS: AFFIRMATIVE ACTION TO ADDRESS RACISM IS RACIST


Special to El Rrun-Rrun

Justice Sonia Sotomayor summarized her dissent from the bench, a rare move that signals profound disagreement, and said that affirmative action was crucial to countering persistent and systematic racial discrimination.

“The court subverts the constitutional guarantee of equal protection by further entrenching racial inequality in education, the very foundation of our democratic government and pluralistic society,” she said in her written dissent.

Sotomayor wrote that the majority had abandoned principled adjudication.

“At bottom,” she wrote, “the six unelected members of today’s majority upend the status quo based on their policy preferences about what race in America should be like, but is not, and their preferences for a veneer of colorblindness in a society where race has always mattered and continues to matter in fact and in law.”

“In a society where opportunity is dispensed along racial lines, equality cannot be attained through race blindness,” she said.

Escombromayor proves that the left doesn't believe in equality. She is just as unelected as the other six that ruled as the law and Constitution are written.

Justice Sotomayor no tiene pelos en la lengua! She tells it like it is and even if some of us are still back in the years, everyone should have an equal opportunity to an education. Even when I was in school, many moons ago, I
experience a harsh competition for a scholarship that was going to some one that was not Mexican-American and not college material. We were told by our
counselor that "our kind" girls were to be secretaries or mothers and the boys were to work at HEB or be mechanics. Good thing many of us la tiramos a loco
and some teachers came through for us, just like Justice Sotomayor is trying to do. Never let anyone tell you that you can not do something! Set out to
prove them wrong and come back and haunt them.

Universidades de todo Estados Unidos se verán obligadas a dejar de tomar en cuenta la raza en las admisiones de estudiantes en apego al fallo de la Corte Suprema el jueves, poniéndole fin a las políticas de acción afirmativa que se remontan a varias décadas.

Las escuelas que han dependido de las políticas de admisión que toman en cuenta la conciencia racial para generar diversidad deberán replantear la manera en que admiten a sus estudiantes. Se prevé que esto resulte en campus con más alumnos blancos y estadounidenses de ascendencia asiática y menos estudiantes negros e hispanos.

El impacto de la decisión se sentirá más en las universidades más selectas del país, las cuales han sido más propensas a tomar en cuenta el origen racial de los alumnos como uno de muchos factores a considerar en sus admisiones. Pero algunas universidades menos selectivas también toman en cuenta el factor racial, y cientos de instituciones de educación superior podrían verse en la necesidad de ajustar sus sistemas de admisiones en respuesta al fallo.

She is the problem of this education question. If you are black and don't have the ability or qualifications to enter school or get that job, why should a person who is black get in because that person is black? Either you have the ability to get into that school because of your hard work and grades not because I am black. Either you have it or you don't have it.

THE RIGHT SIDE AND LEFT SIDE ARE EQUAL IN NATURE.
BUT, ONE SIDE FAVORS THE OTHER.
THAT'S RACISTS.

Getting into college should have nothing to do with your race but with your high school grades.
Asians with excellent grades get rejected by the thousands in certain colleges because they need to give spaces for other minorities (with lower grades). That is reverse discrimination.
Leave the left wing plantation!!!

Plan:
1. Let’s go over to North America;
2. Let’s kill all these pesky Indians and whatever’s left we’ll put in concentration camps. We’ll call them reservations so it won’t
sound so bad;
3. Now we go and capture humans and buy and sell them like animals so that we can develop our economy;
4. Once we own all the land and financial resources of the country we’ll set everyone free and declare an equal start for
everyone. This will clear our conscious and reconcile us with our high moral and religious values;
5. God Bless America.

You wetbacks are complaining because this was the only way you could get into a prestigious university like Harvard or Yale. Since the majority of you are Democrats I can see where you all, are short on brains. If you can’t make the cut, stay home. The kids graduating from our local schools cannot read, write or do basic math. And you morons want them to get into a prestigious university. Good joke!!

THIS STORY IS RACIST.
THE BLACK JUDGE WAS NOT ALLOWED TO COMMENT ON THE SUBJECT.
COLORBLIND HAS NOTHING TO DO ABOUT RACIST.
WHAT OPPORTUNITY DO YOU OFFER TO BETTER YOURSELF AND OTHERS.
IS WHAT MATTERS!

The whites couldn't have picked an uglier black judge. Done on purpose and he's enjoying every second ugly or not.

All you racists are talking about high school grades as if they matter. The Supreme Court said they can still use essays as a consideration. That has nothing to do with grades. Also, Texas can continue its top 10% rule. All these idiots did was anger millions of voters.

On the student loans, 40 million people just lost a mere 10k forgiveness.

These Supreme Court idiots are pushing millions of people to vote Democrat.

I loved the comment it is about time the colleges are now equal. Blacks will still get preference based on their essays. But was it equal when Texas and other Southern states built universities for blacks only and kept them out of even UT?

These rulings have been great. More democrats will vote. Who cares if you do not have to build a web page for someone you believe to be gay? There are thousands of other companies.

This was Trump's election to lose, but another term with these judges, and the Democrats will take back the House, and hold the White House.

I just love this Supreme Court.

Affirmative action only benefitted the blacks in the majority of cases. For every 20 blacks admitted to medical or law school 1 Hispanic got admitted. So all these years the blacks got ahead more than the Hispanics did. How did Obama get in to Harvard? We were never allowed to see his grades at any school. Yet it was said that baby Bush got C's at Yale.Blacks got hired in police departments and other jobs being less qualified just to fill a quota. That was never fair. Get the best qualified not the worst candidate only because he was black, Hispanic or a female. Enough with the race card.

6:10 p.m. You have no proof to prove a thing you say. All you prove is you are a racist. How do you know the minorities who got in were not the best qualified? This opinion means nothing because the conservatives are motivated by the same ignorance which motivates you. In Texas the law remains. You can send your kid to the best private school in Texas. They can have an amazing GPA. But if because of the competition they are only in the top 12% of their class, the minority kid with a lower GPA, but in the top 10% of his class from a terrible poor school district, they will still get in before the kid who went to the best private school in Texas. It only has to do with race, because they live in a bad school district.

Simple math, if you apply to a business or even any government, state or local and you see all white people working there, THAT SHOULD TELL YOU SOMETHING. You ain't gonna get hired. PERIOD!!! and besides you really don't want to work where there is only white people working there."Hey pancho pick up that paper on the floor and hurry it up". DAS WHY
