BS: Right-wing SCOTUS knocked down affirmative action today at my alma mater Harvard for ONE reason:
College was the only place left where their white-guy card couldn't get them through the door.
"Affirmative action for me, but not for thee.
Like, "Jared Kushner's daddy can pay Jared's way in... And it's ALL GOOD to let 'legacy' students in – a long line of white rich kids benefitting from the systemic racism we helped create.
"But GOD FORBID we allow a school to consider race!"
First right-wing Republicans put women "in their place". Then they targeted us in LGBT+ community. Now they're doing the same to Black and Brown people:
"GOD FORBID we talk about race in learning environments! And GOD FORBID we make that learning environment diverse!"
Let's get real.
Affirmative action was necessary because dumbass dudes got into college over more qualified people of color. Also, people of color didn't have the support that wealthy white kids got that could help them get into college – and they STILL don't.
SCOTUS just tried to erase reality.
But as Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson said in her dissent, "ignoring race just makes it matter more."
Let's fight back.
They want to level the playing field in their "colorblind" way? Fine.
Let's challenge legacy college admissions too.
Watch SCOTUS sweat as they decide on eliminating a REAL unjust system... knowing it will make admissions for white people plummet.
Happy Birthday to this wonderful woman. We’ve spent every birthday together since 1993 and I don’t know where I’d be without her. Here’s to many many more. Love you, Jen! ❤️❤️❤️ https://t.co/YmKYDlVjtj

I was lucky enough to be at the Urban Art Bar show that is in the doc. Almost got kicked out after I washed the “X” off of my hands. #GBV https://t.co/wqX5SAIwBK
