A twitter account called “Erica Marsh” wrote: “No Black person will be able to succeed in a merit-based system.” I can’t tell if this is a real liberal, or a conservative troll trying to make fun of liberals.

Titania McGrath is my fave.

“No Black person will be able to succeed in a merit-based system ”

Some can succeed .
It’s a slavery based mentality to say affirmative action is needed.

[metmom]

What a racist thing to say.

[EvilCapitalist]

Clarence Thomas? Thomas Sowell? They succeded without affirmative action.

[EvilCapitalist]

And Dr. Ben Carson too.

[SauronOfMordor]

It’s sarcasm by a conservative.

A real Leftist would have said that the vast network of white supremacists will keep down intelligent and qualified blacks unless affirmative action stops them.

To a Leftist, it is blasphemy to even consider that blacks are less intelligent or less qualified.

Its either a real liberal expressing their true belief, or a liberal troll trying to appear like what they think a conservative would say.

[Republicans 2016 2020]

I’m not sure but the limited evidence available points toward the account being real. And yes, it stuns me too that someone could be, well...

[Political Junkie Too]

This comment begs the question "What would have happened if the Bakke decision of 1978 went the other way, and minorities were forced back then to adapt to merit-based admissions?"

Forty-five years of social promotes, dumbing down of qualifications, and the rise of the grievance industry got us to where we are today.

She’s real. She got destroyed running for a House seat or something.

And very wealthy black athletes are some of the most successful in the world. especially the USA. And don’t forget Oprah.

[PeterPrinciple]

The interesting thing here is WHAT is said, the Who is a shiny diversion.

Notice how everyone would rather talk about the who.

[fhayek]

There are ten thousand examples of African Americans succeeding in America. In the arts, in sports, in media, in business, in academia, in science and medicine, in politics. Ten times that number

Any "affirmative action" for these individuals would be superfluous. Why libs can't understand this just boggles my mind.

[jjotto]

Interesting. Some claims that it is a fake person, named after a character from tv show One Tree Hill. She says she still wears two masks.

[desertsolitaire]

I’m reminded of the soft bigotry of low expectations that hurts even more than overt racism.

[jjotto]

We’re really through the looking glass here. Life imitates satire.

[Captain Jack Aubrey]

Or the hard bigotry of no expectations that hurts even more than overt racism.
