The only silver lining I see in this #SupremeCourt decision on #admissions in #HigherEducation: that it will rock the boat in ways the #Right does not expect, just as overturning #Roe did. This is a different time. We have had a Black President. #PeopleOfColor are ascendant and powerful. The root of this issue is #education. #WhiteSupremacists got where they are by draining resources from #schools in a zero-sum game. This is what needs to be reversed.
In case you couldn’t tell, I’m pissed off. 🤬
@Pattyagray Why? Isn't it a good thing that we're not factoring race when it comes to admissions?
As a black person, I'm not all too sure that racism is a good thing, especially when institutionalized, and #SCOTUS seems to largely agree (with the exception of #JohnRoberts when it comes to the military for some reason, as you dutifully pointed out)
The Roberts exception is the tell-all. THAT’S what I am most pissed off about. The majority did not make this ruling because they think non-White non-Asian people can do just fine in their own, they made it because they are sure the old elite discrimination system will roar back to life and make their precious elite institutions White again.
@Pattyagray I am not quite sure if I agree. Did most of #SCOTUS say that they agreed with #JohnRoberts' statement about discrimination in the military specifically?
Read directly from the ruling.
SO many people on this platform are mischaracterizing what the ruling actually said.

@volkris @Pattyagray This seems a bit long in the tooth.
I am at work rn.
Yep.
Unfortunately, there is no alternative to reading things for oneself these days, since there is misinformation left and right.
