There it is. The old pulling up the ladder trope. Shocked it wasn’t deployed earlier. I forgot that I’m estopped from having any independent views on the issue of racial preference policies because such policies may have been in place when I applied to school. That’s fine I guess, since very few people attend selective institutions where affirmative action is even a factor, meaning that the population of folks entitled to have views on the matter (which doesn’t include me apparently) remains large. So I’ll just keep my mouth shut like a good little…. At any rate, and more importantly, MOST black oppose the use of race preference in school admissions. As very few of them ascended a ladder to a selective institution, I gather they (unlike me) retain the right to express independent views of the matter. And they have indeed spoken: 62% of black folks oppose the use of race as a factor in college admissions.

But you know, it’s not like those folks know what good for ‘em.
