Harvard Law students occupy a school building

The landmark Supreme Court case dealing with affirmative action (Bakke, 1973 I think was the year) was about a white male suing because he was denied entry to medical school so an unqualified black male could be given the slot. Bakke, the white guy, lost the case.

Thanks for the links. I notice in the one link, Justice Powell said, ". . the state had a "substantial interest" in using race as a criterion for admission." Huh? What's that got to do with it?

Medicine is pure science. Lab tests, high end thinking, differential diagnosis, staff interaction, ability to 'read' people, . . I could go on and on. Has Nothing to do with "race as a criterion for admission." It has to do with intelligence.

I got in pre-Bakke, late 60s. It also just hit me, Would I get in Now? - I mean given same same, I'm age 20 now and a senior? Maybe not?

If this stuff gets worse, what do we do, start a new country?

Notice also, in that Front Page Mag article, how detailed and deeply-researched it is in breaking down the actual high test score rates of the regular med school applicants vs. the dismal scores of the affirmative action flunkies at UC Davis during the time in question, and how extremely well-qualified Bakke himself was.

Then there’s the more recent SCOTUS case of Ricci v. DeStefano, from 2009, wherein the dyslexic white New Haven, CT firefighter who studied his ass off for promotion (only to have all test results thrown out and his promotion nullified because no blacks or hispanics passed, even after the city spent hundreds of thousands of dollars hiring diversity consultants to help re-write the test) sued and won.

As for your last question — over the years I have grown from being an ardent anti-racist, who was mildly troubled by an encounter I once had with a young white man who spoke of loyalty to his race, to the point where I now lean more toward the white nationalism of our forefathers. I tend to believe that the Japanese have the right idea, as far as unashamedly discriminating in favor of members of the dominant ethnic group who created the prevailing culture of a country.

I do not believe in anti-discrimination, because not only do I do not believe it is realistically possible, given human nature, common sense, and moral/cultural imperatives, I also believe anti-discrimination and the doctrine of “equal opportunity” is immoral, for reasons most people never consider due to the way we’re all trained to think.

What people like these judges, who cite “a substantial, compelling interest of the state to use race/diversity as criteria for admission/personnel policies” really mean is that our own government has the aggressive, deliberate dispossession of whites as official policy, and the overall genocide (based on the full U.N. definition of the word) of whites as their overarching agenda.

So starting a new country, if that were possible, definitely seems like it would be necessary. Not that I think that will happen in our lifetimes.

Agree with your sentiment. Some people reel when I say the whites of this country have to get it together, and fast, or we're going to lose what The Founders and 200 years of blood, sweat and tears fought and worked for.

Are we going to just passively submit to the left due to political correctness, "social justice", affirmative action, La Raza, 'equality', and now this 'white privilege' crap? All of the usual leftist talking points are in play to numb the whites of America.

I say No, and people, don't start in on the white supremacy stuff, I'm talking about restoring Western Civilization and America, basically our survival. This is our job, indeed a demand from The Founders in their graves. As you said, ". . dominant ethnic group who created the prevailing culture of a country" needs to wake up, form up, get it together and get America back!
