One thing seems certain if the Supreme Court bans affirmative action in college admissions: The only Black men left on campus will be athletes.

African-Africans do pretty well.
Its the African-Americans that don’t do so great. Wonder why that is? The African Americans did pretty well before they hitched their wagon to the statist-slaver Democrats.
What a mystery!
I read once that in 1960 the black illegitimacy rate in the US was something like 5%. Today it’s closer to 70%.
That is correct. Consider trade schools when charting out one’s career for the next 20 years. But one needs to perform due dilligence and learn what the business community thinks of a particular trade school. Some schools, along with their curricula and their staff have a better reputation than others.
Who ever told you that?
Our future is bright...
That was W, I believe.
& Thomas Sowell
Way to slur blacks, Derrick Z. Jackson.
How did you get your degree, I wonder?
It sure is a shame that Americans are expected to lower their standards because minorities can’t meet them. It used to be that people wanted minorities to raise their standards. All that is gone now.
“ The Root is an absolute hack job of a journal. Does he even realize what a condemnation of the black intellect his article is???”
Some one needs to tell him that’s how he got his job. Watch him freak out.
Exactly. I blame it on “black culture”.
The bad kind of “black culture”. The kind that is corrosive, divisive, and violent. Thomas Sowell discussed it in his superb book “Black Rednecks and White Liberals”, and how it was oddly descended from the Irish who immigrated and settled in the South.
The negative culture of misogyny. The contempt for education. The flaunting of law. The worship of violence. The absence of males in the family, even when a family structure does exist. The gangster culture. The homicidal rage at being disrespected. And more.
It isn’t that “it just happens” and they have to endure it. Those who subscribe to that toxic mix embrace it.
As you accurately point out blacks have the same tools and capability anyone else of any color has. People like Booker T. Washington, Thomas Sowell, Justice Thomas, Ben Carson, Colonel West, Larry Elder, those pilots you trained, all of them, are stark and undeniable evidence of that.
What is astonishing to me is that in significant swaths of the black community, those men are reviled.
All of those men I mentioned have accomplished so much more than those who hate them, because they do not toe the line on Leftist ideology. They are the anti-’black culture’.
In summary, it is not the color of their skin that makes some in the black community embrace the worst traits of man.
It is the culture they embrace that does that to them. Call it “Black Culture”, call it Marxism, but in the end, it all leads in the same negative direction.
Their ideology.
Their Leftist ideology.
And it is that Leftist ideology that is firmly convinced that because of their color, blacks are unable to achieve on their own merits, and must be “helped”.
There was once a time where white and black illegitimacy were both very close.
Then came the Great Society programs put in place by LBJ.
Uh there are plenty minority students even after California voters did away with discrimination in admissions decades ago
Totally ignored by the fact that places like Harvard and Princeton are enrolling all the academically talented blacks. That means all the lesser schools and traditionally black colleges don’t get qualified blacks.
As I remember Charles white graduated from college, was a heisman trophy winner that went back to first grade when he was done playing NFL football
He couldnt read
Indeed. Dims have made it easy for everyone of all colors to blame everyone for their ills. Then it’s easier to just sponge off the government from there.
It’s been institutionalized into the black community especially.
I remember Dexter Manley’s testimony before Congress, it was heartbreaking to watch, but it had a happy ending, as eventually he learned to read.
So, I guess that they are saying that wypipo and asians are like totally the supremiest
