I am still waiting. Anyone?

Then once electricity eliminated the need to enslave people they moved on to killing babies for a more convenient life.

As a black person, I got a 168 on my LSAT. had a 3.8 GPA, worked 4 campus jobs, worked an internship EVERY summer and I still got shady comments from white students how they would be screwed compared to me because they were not minority. As if my qualifications were less. some of the folks saying this didn't even crack 160 or have a 3.5 GPA and barely did 1 internship.

In law school I was in top 8% of my class. but folks swore I was at the bottom taking job offers from y'all. 14 years into my career I'm a partner at a big law firm. Y'all would assume it is only for diversity reasons and overlook all the cases I won, big business I brought in and top billing. It's funny how folks use to clutch their pearls in disbelief that I was in the top 3 producing associates 7 consecutive years. Like it wasn't possible for a black person to do this. no matter what the merits are, white people love to ASSUME that no one else could ever possibly achieve more than them. So even without AA folks will still find a way to complain about people of color taking their jobs or getting into top universities.

I can identify with your story. 20 years ago, I interned for a federal agency in D.C. At the end of the internship, each intern had to present their project to the senior leadership, management and other analyst in the division--about 200 people. I put a lot of thought and prep work into my presentation--as I did throughout my internship. On a Monday morning I was chatting with a colleague (new analyst) that sat in the cubicle across from me. She was a white woman and always pleasant to me. We had our normal "what did you do this weekend" conversation at 8am. I told her I spent the weekend in the office preparing for my presentation and was nervous etc. She said "you'll do fine. besides, it doesn't matter. the federal government needs minorities anyway. you've got the right skin color. so you can fail the presentation. you'll still get a job offer." What a horrible thing to say. She completely ignored my work ethic and the great job I was doing. and it was in that moment that I realized it doesn't matter how hard I work. everyone will assume my success is because of affirmative action. And it was also at that moment I had to learn to let it go because that's heavy mental crap to carry forward. So like the other poster said--I now don't care what people think. anyone who cares can read my stats and know you can't get that by just having a dark skin tone.

That was what Clarence Thomas has been saying in his decisions for years, that affirmative action itself gives a stigma to minorities.

Only a man suffering from a massive I ferioe complex would make this statement. It's mainly white people, and now Asians, who are stigmatizing minorities. Don't blame the victims of the stigma, blame the perpetrator.

The perpetrator is whoever uses affirmative action to let in less deserving blacks.

I honestly am thrilled.

Those people who don’t vote, who voted for Trump because Hillary wasn’t good enough: we warned you. And you didn’t listen.

It will take decades of genZ and millenials voting blue to fix this. And they probably wouldn’t if it scotus hadn’t ruled on the decisions the way they did this week.

So maybe we will see progress. But since they won’t vote because they are too impatient for change, (fyi- it took decades if not a century to get to the civil rights of MLK) and don’t vote in local elections: here we are.

Back to segregation.

Vote. Mfers vote. We have been screaming this for years and you didn’t vote blue.

Sitting out is no longer an option.

Colleges are majority women, and a substantial majority. Some colleges put in quotas for boys.

Colleges are like that now BECAUSE of affirmative action for women over the past 40 years.

No, colleges are like that now because grade, primary, and middle schools have been accommodating teaching styles for girls for decades. Schools teach that boys and men are toxic, and nearly all teachers below 9th grade are all female.

Boys are also pumped full of drugs starting in grade school to try to control their behavior that is just normal for young boys with lots of energy. Folds more boys than girls are pumped with drugs. It affects your cognition and can make you feel lethargic. Let's see how well girls would do learning from all men only from K-8, in an environment designed to teach how boys learn only, where they're taught females are toxic, and also when teachers and school systems demand girls be put on drugs chronically for years because they claim they have behavioral issues.

Classrooms and sitting in seats for hours to listen to a female teacher prattle on about lessons is entirely a female way to learn .
