Awkward: Supreme Court Rules Against Affirmative Action With Affirmative Action Hire Sitting Right There (Babylon Bee)

The Babylon Bee ^ | June 29, 2023

More than one ...

Would the “wise Latina” have been selected if she were instead a White Man?

Would the Jewish Lesbian have been selected if she were instead a White Man?

For that matter, would Justice Amy Coney-Barrett have been selected if she were instead a Man?

Even Justice Clarence Thomas, chosen to replace the late Thurgood Marshall, more or less “had” to be black.

And this points out the grave evil of “affirmative action”: it casts doubt on eve the most highly qualified people, folks who are head and shoulders above their peers, if they happen to be part of a “preferred minority”.

Has there been a collection printed on the debates around enactment of the Civil Rights Act of 1964? I’d like to read this — it seems to me that this odd overreach was what led to the untenable policy of affirmative action.

Babylon Bee is amazing. Almost continuously producing stuff like this. Brilliant.

Is biden going to rail against this decision like he did against the abortion decision? Will he establish sanctuaries where AA is not prosecuted? Will he give a fiery Nazi Rally speech like he did last Sept 1?

LOL!!! Call the Burn Unit!!!

I know this is satire. But Brown is plenty smart and plenty educated to sit on the Court. I think she’s an ideological basket case but calling her affirmative action makes me uncomfortable.

From Justice Thomas' concurrence:

Wow! Just wow! For the usually cool and soft spoken Clarence Thomas — the words he chose for his opinion are like volcanic fire against all the race baiters!

Secretary Karine Jean-Pierre, was hired strictly based on her race, gender, and sexual orientation (because these things should not matter) rather than qualifications.
I hope the next press secretary selected is a white, heterosexual male. Lets see how much race, gender and sexual orientation doesn't matter then.
Oh, and QUALIFIED, for the job too, well informed and well spoken, gives straight and honest answers etc. But I know I'm dreaming now.

Kamala Harris’s family on her Dad’s side of the family were wealthy slave traders based in beautiful Jamaica. Joe Robinette Biden’s family were also slave traders.
Is it any wonder both Joe and Kamala regard American citizens as their slaves?

This isn’t satire, it’s TRUE! That dingbat doesn’t know what a woman is!!

[FreedomForce]

Biden has said Hunter is the smartest guy he knows, too.

Affirmative Action essentially used the principles of Marxism to support the creation of ideas like White Privilege, Black Lives Matter, and Critical Race Theory. Cultural Marxism, as the heart of this regulation, replaced the philosophical founding of our country.

We see two views of history. Karl Marx says, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed. Everything exists within the bounds of infinity. Humanity exists as swarms identified to be irradicated or dominated. There is no perception or acknowledgement of eternity.

The Declaration of Independence says, “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness. In this expression, the Creator reaches into our world from eternity to endow individual humans with inestimable value.

I think I will stick with the latter idea.

Is she a biologist yet?

[jeffersondem]

“I know Brown waffled on the “woman” question. But that’s just part of the ideological goofiness she had to indulge to get on the Court.”

She is disqualified by not telling the truth.

Lol. Love the Bee.
