How about relief from the harm of 300 years of relentless, often violent & even institutionalized racism, that continues to this day?

I'm black and it's okay with me. What's so great about Harvard? We can create our own Harvard's.

If those in the majority were asked whether they prefer affirmative action to reparations I'm sure the answer would be niether.

discrimination doesnt exist in america and saying it 3 times dosnt change the fact

[rosemedallion]

Thomas should take a stand here because he could never coming to grips with Affirmative Action. The strength of Love is truth. Little is known of the heart but much is heard of the tongue. So? what legacy are these judges leaving? Nothing can put up with ignorance but Love! Process of learning - birth through 4 years; 4 years through 12 years. After that nothing. Ignorance and error are always on parade. People watch their age and not their life. Lessons in life were missed because people fail to be trained in areas they are void/empty. "Never Too Old To Leaarn."

Accordingly as stated “the historic decision ended the “ separate but equal “. Rules that had been for six decades . The court opinions in this case helped the civil rights movement in this country . Having the idea that every
Citizen deserves . American promises of equality and justice under law “.

Nothing but the amount daddy can contribute how do you think drumpf got pass third grade

[rome_way]

Why go there and pay to learn lies anyway?

[FredHosea]

We should end affirmative action for rich people and professonal liars that gives them privileged access to government and corporate governance.

[carrikaplan]

Big universities are not teaching our future generations how to take care of the world, they have been marginalized by money and corporations. Lets all support community college and respect all the beautiful humans of different cultures that go to these schools. Lets make our community colleges the schools of the future. Compassion, science. not money driven research and innovation, creative arts, social causes, health, math and athletics. We dont need to be compromised from the supreme courts bigotry. We can be smarter than that. I hope democracy now can focus on what we can do.

It's not how many millions you pay for your child's education it's what they get out of it that matters!!!!

[Fantasticfrank]

thank GOD this was reversed. skin color shouldnt dictate anything

[annethompson]

Considering black women could not even VOTE until 1965, this is beyond regression.

[chriss-nfbd]

What's next biracial marriage, Thomas? Women's rights? Will the right to vote go back to wealthy landowners? Will Companies nationwide get the right to vote?
