A White Nationalist Wrote a Law School Paper Promoting Racist Views. It Won Him an Award.

And the left, Jews and blacks, are all up in arms. He argued that the Constitution applies only to White people. At it's founding, he'd be correct.

At age 29, he seems a bit old to be in law school, doesn’t he?

I’m going to go out on a limb and say that he used this argument to put forward the point that the Constitution is outdated and racist and needs to be redone. And THAT’S why he won an award.

"At age 29, he seems a bit old to be in law school, doesn’t he?

Our Founders thought 29 was still wet behind the ears.

[Fury]

Have you read his paper?

[Macho MAGA Man]

(At age 29, he seems a bit old to be in law school, doesn’t he?)

Not really. I know several who went to law school and became lawyers in their 30’s and 40’s.

A factually incorrect statement. Here is the Heritage Foundation paper on this topic:

Oh now I see that he actually believes this. So he’s just an idiot. The Constitution includes a mechanism to amend it, and that process was used correctly to make amendments and now the document includes more than just whites. So his argument is just dumb.

This would usually repulse me but seeing how the left and media in this nation exalted the 1619 project, i’ll say what comes around goes around...

[Theoria]

29? Not at all, they are almost old enough to lead the country at 35. Teens were men and leaders back then, perhaps even men of the house and community due to early deaths. People grew up fast.

29 in law school could be a former LEO or Military guy who went into school later.

[BradyLS]

??? Maybe older than most of his peers. But not by much. I wouldn’t hold his age against him.

[Rockingham]

Not necessarily. Some find their way to law school in their 30s or later after prior careers.

[Navy Patriot]

The New York Times wrote a newspaper article that fully endorsed Communism, Josef Stalin, and his Potemkin Village, winning the Pulitzer Prize, so that hundreds of millions MORE people could starve to death world wide.

The Times Wins!

Damsky is a Slavic name.

If he wants to go down this road, at the time of the writing Slavics were not considered "white".

[Macho MAGA Man]

(A factually incorrect statement.)

I disagree! Here’s the very first legislation by the first Congress pertaining to immigration called the Naturalization Act of 1790. They wanted only free White people to be citizens of the new United States of America.

(The Naturalization Act of 1790 (1 Stat. 103, enacted March 26, 1790) was a law of the United States Congress that set the first uniform rules for the granting of United States citizenship by naturalization. The law limited naturalization to “free white person(s) ... of good character”, thus excluding Native Americans, indentured servants, enslaved people, free Africans, Pacific Islanders, and Asians.)

“he used this argument to put forward the point that the Constitution is outdated and racist and needs to be redone.”

That is a good point.

[Skywise]

It may have been based on the rigor of the work and not on what the topic itself was.

Not at all. I was in law school in the late '80s for a year, and there were plenty at that age, some with MBAs.

Do you believe that the 13^th Amendment was in the Constitution at its founding? There is a bit of a date discrepancy therein.

[nwrep]

Citizenship is not the same as the Constitution. There seems to be conflation between the two.
