Yes you do. Black students are historically underrepresented, which is at least partially caused by and contributes to persisting inequality. If you have more black students qualify for admissions in a post-affirmative action world, it suggests that maybe there is some hope for raising the Black community up to the level of other Americans and reducing barriers to success. But you knew this already..

That's an argument for providing more legal education to more Black people, not inviting more Black people to an academic program they aren't prepared to succeed in.

UDC Law is 45% Black.
Growing that school without playing games with admissions process would generate more Black lawyers.

Black people don't want to attend HBCU, they are seen ass sub standard, and lack resources in many areas

ain't no decent law firm hiring no one from UDC

Ok, I may be completely wrong, but wouldn’t the 2028 Law class be primarily 2025 college grads? Who were class of 2021 HS grads? That was pre-2023 Affirmative Action ruling. So it would make sense that there were more Black students across the board graduating in 2025. Wait til 2030 and see if there are still as many Black students entering Harvard Law- my guess is that, unfortunately, there won’t be.

I know you’re not so biased as to be working backward from the result to infer that more black students in the class de facto means merit must have been circumvented.

We know what the test score distribution looks like so we can work backward from the result and say that there are a lot of black students with significantly lower test scores getting into selective law schools. Racists always try to preserve their racial preferences because they think their racial preferences are virtuous when they're simply racist.

Then consider that there had to be some immediate discrimination if the black population just shriveled and died last year.

What colleges do you think Black people qualify for?

I’m not sure that makes any sense, if the point previously was that the double increase in black applicants is because it’s a pre AA class; the question becomes….why was there a dip at all?

Yes you do. Black students are historically underrepresented, which is at least partially caused by and contributes to persisting inequality. If you have more black students qualify for admissions in a post-affirmative action world, it suggests that maybe there is some hope for raising the Black community up to the level of other Americans and reducing barriers to success. But you knew this already..

We still don't have data on who is getting admitted, is it recent Black immigrants, or Black Americans pre civil war

In America, it doesn't matter. Black is black.

Study U.S. history. The racist "one drop" rule.

Dumb answer.

If you can get admitted to Harvard Law School, you're prepared to succeed.

She is a plagiarist. But that’s fine, except: she was somehow elevated to Harvard’s presidency with only ELEVEN ( 11 ) published works, which is a truly pathetically small number for a tenured professor (especially at Harvard).

You are thinking: so what if she only has 11 published works? Except:

- the topic of her plagiarized work is CRT and DEI.

But, sure, sure. She TOTALLY earns that ~ $ 1million annual tenured salary.

This has very little to do with what I said. Her teaching Critical Race Theory as a political scientist makes sense. It's her field. I made no comments on her presidency, nor wish to really discuss it. She has an endowed professorship which pays her quire a bit, but nowhere do I see confirmed that she makes $1mil.
