The Supreme Court recently ruled against affirmative action - which could affect college admission practices ... the same practices that Clarence himself admits got him into law school.
Ketanji , first Black woman to hold her position - voted in favor of affirmative action. Sonia Sotomayor, the first Hispanic to hold her position - voted in favor.
But guess who voted against it 😌 Black people like Clarence really disturb my fucking soul. Like seriously. With that ugly ass linebacker looking pale wife of his .
As always, the Black woman gets it right.

The Supreme Court's landmark ruling Thursday on affirmative action pitted its two Black justices against each other, with the ideologically opposed jurists employing unusually sharp language attacking each other by name.
The majority opinion authored by Chief Justice John Roberts said colleges and universities can no longer take race into consideration as a specific basis for granting admission, saying programs at Harvard and the University of North Carolina violated the Equal Protection Clause because they failed to offer "measurable" objectives to justify the use of race.
Justice Clarence Thomas and the court's other four conservatives joined Roberts' opinion. But Thomas, who in 1991 became the second Black person to ascend to the nation's highest court, issued a lengthy concurrence that attacked such admissions programs and tore into arguments posited by liberal Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, the first Black woman to join the court, who penned her own fiery dissent in the case.
Thomas has previously acknowledged that he made it to Yale Law School because of affirmative action, but he has long criticized such policies. He spoke in personal terms in his concurrence as he put forth his argument against the use of the policies, which he described as "rudderless, race-based preferences designed to ensure a particular racial mix in their entering classes."
"Even in the segregated South where I grew up, individuals were not the sum of their skin color," Thomas wrote."While I am painfully aware of the social and economic ravages which have befallen my race and all who suffer discrimination," he added, "I hold out enduring hope that this country will live up to its principles so clearly enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States: that all men are created equal, are equal citizens, and must be treated equally before the law."
As he read his concurrence from the bench on Thursday, Jackson, who joined the court last year, stared blankly ahead. ( :omf: ) Though Justice Sonia Sotomayor read her dissent from the bench, Jackson did not read her own dissent, in which she went after Thomas' concurrence and accused the majority of having a "let-them-eat-cake obliviousness" in how the ruling announced "'colorblindness for all' by legal fiat."
A footnote near the end of Jackson's dissent went after the concurrence by Thomas, with the liberal justice accusing her colleague of demonstrating "an obsession with race consciousness that far outstrips my or UNC's holistic understanding that race can be a factor that affects applicants' unique life experiences."

Ughhhh I can't stand Uncle Thomas :fuming:
This man literally has the most conservative and nonsensical positions on everything. It could be "black people should be slaves again" and everybody would disagree in the majority and he would be the only dissent. And then have the nerve to not write any explanation for his dissent. I'm glad Tanji got him fumed up and mentioning her in his footnote scribbles!
The supreme court shouldn't be ruling based on how the US should be, but how it actually is. There is inherent discrimination and systemic racism built IN.

bitch
A word. Perfectly stated
I hope Clarence Thomas dies soon :wub:. Gay marriage is next :blink:
It was a sad day for sure. Damn shame
He's disgusting, but even more so are the Asians who willing became pawns to get this passed.
A disgusting group of people and I pray this backfires on them.
I can't stand this coon or his ugly wife.
All the scandal he's been caught up in this year and no consequences.

I've been seeing them on the news. Dummies can't see they're being used.
They're definitely coming for gay marriage next.

Oh they know.
They WANT to be used as slaves for whites.
They're gross.
The other two decisions that came out today.....this is such a depressing time. Not to mention what people are dealing with in their personal lives. At this point, there needs to be a mass revolt.

close down those got damn beauty shops in the hood while we're at it
east asians are pure boot licking trash.
more of the community is waking up and refusing to step foot in their businesses
which is exactly what needs to be done. long way to go but it's coming
elections have consequences. a lot of people thought it was funny and cute to vote for Harambe etc and many who flat out didn't bother voting.
Trump got in and nearly a decade later we're still feeling it. I also don't have high hopes for Biden winning another term.
all the OLD needs to go tbh. that includes Biden and the supreme court. these elderly people have no business deciding our futures :uhh:

How is this serious :dead:
From what I gather, Students for Fair Admissions, is backed by the yts and they just used the Asians as the public face of the lawsuit.
Same with the white lady that was used to discriminate against gays. She actually does not develop web pages for weddings and never have. She created a hypothetical situation of "If I wanted to make web pages for wedding, making one for a gay couple would be against my religion." The mans named that she used in suit says that he never asked her to make a webpage and that he is a happily married heterosexual male. :plzstop:
these signs have me crying
i can hear them saying it in a chinky accent

i see some of the gorls saying they're "trying to divide" blacks and asians
as if there hasn't been a division for decades.
just cuz the korean and chinese folks set up shop in our neighborhoods doesn't mean there's some sort of relationship there.
they're opportunists. with bad hygiene

The sad part is, they are showing who they really are, and yet blacks will continue to support those businesses. I haven't had Chinese food since COVID happened. Made me use the bathroom too much anyway
@BetterAngels a lot of people in the community just aren't very plugged in to those conversations that have been going on
but i will say that it's a conversation thats def been getting bigger and bigger
to the community's credit, there's been a LOT more visibility than what i remember years ago
even princess Latasha Harlin's story has been on the lips of many.
we may not see complete detachment in our lifetime but the gorls are definitely waking up.
Latasha's story will never NOT make my blood fucking boil.
