Last year, while I didn't get an invite to talk about #1619Project from the Essence Festival, @BaldwinBooks hosted me that weekend for an amazing conversation at his jewel of a bookstore. To stop him from hosting Black authors this wkend is just shameful. https://t.co/yNPWmPaKRH

#BreakingNews Donald Trump recently posted the D.C address of Former President Barack Obama. A man wanted for his connections to the January 6th insurrection was arrested outside President Obama's house armed.

Authorities who searched his car found multiple firearms, ammunition and material to make at least one Molotov cocktail, according to law enforcement.

My sister had this white girl in her college try to tell her she only got in because of affirmative action. My sister went “I was valedictorian of my school and you’re asking me for help on your homework so who really shouldn’t be here?” Girl never asked her for shit again LMFAO

[Pootie Guiliani @Kyla_Lacey]

Well if nothing else the Supreme Court ruling is gonna humble some white and Asian students when they find out they still didn’t get in to their dream school and it wasn’t the fault of already underrepresented Black applicants.

“Charley, a new retiree-greeter at Wal-Mart, just couldn't seem to get to work on time. Every day he was 5, 10, 15 minutes late. But he was a good worker, really tidy, clean-shaven, sharp-minded and a real credit to the company and obviously demonstrating their "Older Person Friendly" policies.

One day the boss called him into the office for a talk. "Charley, I have to tell you, I like your work ethic, you do a bang-up job when you finally get here; but your being
late so often is quite bothersome."

"Yes, I know boss, and I am working on it."

"Well good, you are a team player. That's what I like to hear".

"Yes sir, I understand your concern and I will try harder".

Seeming puzzled, the manager went on to comment, "I know you're retired from the Armed Forces. What did they say to you there if you showed up in the morning late so often?"

The old man looked down at the floor, then smiled. He chuckled quietly, then said with a grin, "They usually saluted and said,
Good morning, Admiral, can I get your coffee, sir"?

I want to see all my ⚪️ women colleagues angry about this SCOTUS decision too. Especially since affirmative action benefits ⚪️ women more than BIPOC folks. But yet SCOTUS has only dealt with the issues of race. Hmm I wonder why.

[Michael Harriot @michaelharriot]

Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action

Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed

The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE

Hey @Marriott,

It’s disgusting that you’re going to allow a Moms For Liberty summit to be hosted this weekend at your venue space in Philadelphia knowing they’re an extremist hate group who quoted Hitler and will have an Oath Keepers terrorist as a guest speaker. Shame on you.

[The Leadership Conference @civilrightsorg]

This.

[Ida Bae Wells @nhannahjones]

An elite, white majority determining after just 50 years of weak, half-hearted
affirmative action efforts, that they are the ones to decide that enough has been done to address centuries of explicit racial exclusion against Black people is the most American ruling ever.

[Amanda Misiko Andere She/Her @AmandaAndere]

The very leaders who never once referenced racial equity implications in their request for philanthropy pluralism have raced to make statements re  their “disappointment” about the affirmative action decision - virtue signaling to all sides shows me who you are…

[CALL TO ACTIVISM @CalltoActivism]

Hey Brett Kavanaugh.

Want to talk about affirmative action and student loans?

Let’s examine how you got into Yale, shall we?

During your Senate testimony, you said “I got into Yale Law School. That’s the No. 1 law school in the country. I had no connections there. I got there by busting my tail in college.”

But, like much of your testimony, this wasn’t exactly true. 👇

You see, we found a copy of a 1928 Yale yearbook and it turns out your grandfather Everett Edward Kavanaugh also attended Yale as an undergraduate student.

So that makes you a legacy student a liar.

So to recap, you got into your grandfather’s alma mater, then went to the Law School.

That matters — because admission to an undergraduate institution can more than double a student’s chance of getting into that institution’s graduate schools.

In 2011, Yale said that up to 25 percent of its students could classified as legacy students.

Turns out, getting into college, especially Ivy League schools, is traditionally as much a matter of who you know as it is what you know.

AOC said it best, “If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.”

But of course you wouldn’t do that. It would mean you’d might have never gotten to the Supreme Court. It would have impacted the 70% of Harvard legacy students who are white - and harmed Harvard’s ability to rely on them as patrons.

So how about we also ban legacy admissions and see how people like you fare without the privilege, shall we?
