Breaking News: The Supreme Court rejected affirmative action at Harvard and UNC. The major ruling curtails race-conscious college admissions in the U.S., all but ensuring that elite institutions become whiter and more Asian and less Black and Latino.https://t.co/SlMCRldkvN pic.twitter.com/flnORE7sHa

I like this take on it: the Supreme Court has struck down Affirmative Action in College Admissions for everyone but WHITE PEOPLE.
Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action
Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed
The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE
— Michael Harriot (@michaelharriot) June 29, 2023
It was a 6-3 ruling.
That 6-3 would never have happened if folks had acted right in 2016.
When we told you that THE COURT was on the line in 2016, there were those who pursed their lips to tell us that ‘ they couldn’t be scared with The Court’.
When I tell you don’t open up your muthaphuckin’ mouth to say anything….
DON’T OPEN IT.
For those who had 11 Billionty Reasons why they couldn’t vote for Hillary in 2016…
Shut your mouths too.
We TOLD you what was going to happen with regards to The Supreme Court, and you didn’t care.
As for the ‘merits’ of the case…
It’s interesting that they never touch LEGACY ADMISSIONS.
While we’re talking affirmative action, 43% of white students admitted to Harvard in 2019 were legacies, athletes or related to staff/donors.
UH HUH
UH HUH
For those Asians chasing White Acceptance who attached themselves to this racist lawsuit…..
As a Black woman who has been Black in America longer than 3 days, and who graduated from not one, but, two of those Elite White Institutions….
You will never be White, dear.
Period.
And, some delusion that you have that these private institutions are about to start having demographics like the University of California system?
I’m not going to say all that I want to say, but I’ll just say this..
You are living in a delusional world if you think those White folks are going to have the demographics of these elite institutions change to look like the University of California system.
It ain’t even happening.
A certain demographic can’t blame Black people when they don’t get accepted into IVY colleges anymore

To the Asian-American students who won today with the Supreme Court decision ending affirmative action, guess what? You still are not going to get into Ivy League institutions. Why? LEGACY. None of them are ending legacy admissions, which benefits white students. Congratulations.

From Sotemayor’s dissent:
Today, this Court stands in the way and rolls back decades of precedent and momentous progress. It holds that
race can no longer be used in a limited way in college admissions to achieve such critical benefits. In so holding, the
Court cements a superficial rule of colorblindness as a constitutional principle in an endemically segregated society
where race has always mattered and continues to matter. 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. Because the Court’s opinion is not grounded in law or fact and contravenes the vision of equality
embodied in the Fourteenth Amendment, I dissent.
