I don't believe that's the case. Progressives and racists believe the same thing-- that people are defined by their race and that people should be treated as members of groups rather than be evaluated for individual merit. They differ on what actions to take, but they both share the same foundational belief. I don't think most black people see the world this way, so I don't think this ruling will have an effect on black voting patterns. Also, they don't react well to Biden telling them that they aren't black, to him, unless they vote for him, etc, and surely he will say even more of this garbage during the campaign. [/quote]

Talk about garbage - Your entire premise is completely wrong.  They don't at all believe the same thing.  Racists want to deny blacks college.  Progressives want to help blacks attain college and want to make more black families succeed and get out of multigenerational poverty.  People like you act as if rights are like a pizza, where you only have so many slices and giving someone else a slice takes a slice away from  you.  That is not at all the case.  White college admissions did not decline because of affirmative action - instead, with the passage of civil rights legislation and increased black attendance, colleges and unversities got bigger and more numerous.

Also, all the trying to make hay of "you ain't black" did nothing to change the black vote.  All the right-wing-sponsored #BLEXIT astroturfing did not work.  You are only preaching to your own conservative choir with your arguments.[/quote]
