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

[freedumb2003]

Accorfing to tye root, blacks be too dumb to get into college eithout a brick on the scale.

[Spok]

Isn’t suggesting that blacks can’t compete on a level playing field for college admissions racism? Moreover, isn’t accepting an uncomfortable truth anti-woke?

Let’s be honest, nobody dreams of being an accountant or a plumber

They are,in fact,more seriously hurt by the Rat Party’s open borders policy than are people like me.

Politically, they are letting in millions of future socialist voters into the USA. That hurts YOU.

This article is an insult to every black professional I know, all of whom would have gotten into college with or without affirmative action.

[dfwgator]

That’s the worst thing about affirmative action, even if a black person is qualified, there will always be a question about if they really earned it, fairly or unfairly.

Athletes on campus are by and large not being educated. They are merely there to generate current or future income.

[Kazan]

So, blacks aren’t smart or disciplined enough for college and have to be given preferential treatment to succeeded unless they get an athletic scholarship? Imagine what would happen if conservative pundit or Republican made that point?

"The author thinks blacks are too dumb to get admitted to college based on their grades and SAT scores."

And the author himself is black - maybe he read the BELL CURVE?

Here he be....

[popdonnelly]

More bullshit.

[stevem]

This has to be tied for the worst editorial ever written.

[mewzilla]

This subject comes up in Thomas Sowell's book, Black Rednecks and White Liberals.

I heartily recommend the book.

[TxAg1981]

This is the mantra of the demonRats. Blacks cannot achieve ANYTHING unless ‘we’ help them. This is the racism of the Left.

[maddog55]

Holy crap... being admitted to a college based on merits, that’s racist.

[SgtHooper]

IMHO, the AA’s are in an uphill battle to make it in the world. In far too many instances they face poor family upbringing environments, lousy public school systems, and horrible job opportunities based on a long history of the above three that need to be overcome. And it ain’t gonna get any better.

[SamAdams76]

The Left just doesn't see the irony of lowering standards in order to help black people.

They are basically stating that black people are not as good as white people so the high standards need to be lowered or waived for them.

That is the purest form of racism.

[subterfuge]

Lots of black gals though.

Good money? The globalists are destroying small businesses all over the country. My bil and his 2 brothers are closing their plumbing business after 50 years because it is no longer profitable due to high taxes, regulations, liability and insurance costs. Liability insurance runs them $30k per month. They have plenty of work but they can no longer turn a profit, which is also why they can’t sell the business. They are liquidating the equipment and selling the property.
