On my college application to the UofMN I stated that I am North Atlantic Islander. I got calls and letters wanting to know if I needed any special accomodations or cultural days etc. Not once did they ask what island in the north Atlantic I came from. Great Britain is an island in the north Atlantic.

“Well those Michigan fellas came down here during the 1861-65 war and laid waste to Tennessee and much of the South but NOW they don’t like the way the wind is blowing. “

Yeah...That was actually people from Ohio pretending to be from Michigan. Honest!

So it’s illegal because the other side is broke?

Which in itself is a lie. The primary opposition was "BAMN" (By An Means Necessary) and the University of Michigan.

Conservatism can’t survive for the long-term, if leftist activist judges are allowed to survive for the long-term, too! How can leftist activist judges and all of their ongoing behaviors, finally, come to an end, too?

“Obama gets “re-elected” and the blacks get favored.”

This was around long before Obama was elected; W spoke out against it but did nothing.

It is economic warfare that is driving whites into extinction; we just reaped the benefits again on Election Day.

Portugal has an enormous number of people who are of substantial African ancestry ~ mostly in the South where they had plantation society.

They technically don't qualify ~ to be negros

By taking over right at the source of their production. That means voting conservatives into all the elected college administrative positions and state boards of education.

“The court says the ban puts an extraordinary burden on those who have to mount a long expensive campaign if they want to protect it.”

WTFreak? Since when is a law upheld on the basis of legal fees? Tar and feathers was the founders response to BS like this.

“C’mon White people. Lets find a place to go already.”

We’ve already got a place. Our ancestors drive, determination and skill built it from nothing. Damn if I will turn it over to a bunch of moochers, idiots, and slackers without a fight.

there is a place to go.

Every conservative who lives in liberal blue states get out and ove to either a swing or red state.
Stop feeding the socialist states and bring your money and votes to swing and red states.

I see no reason why any conservative today should live in the liberal bastions when swing and rd states need them..

Imagine if every conservaive millions of them moved out of those states and went to swing states like VA, FL CO, and move NM to a red state?

The socialist states would lose the electoral count, taxes, etc.

That is the only way forwad and yes I got my wife out of MA snd moved her to FL though the rigged election took our votes away

and let not forget during that era whites in parts of LA, New Orleans were not allowed to vote for up to 10 years whilst blacks were and they were the police soldiers enforcing the so called law.

There is no sense in this decision, none whatsoever.

This kind of BS will force otherwise good hearts into becoming racists.

" to the UofMN"

LOL, I had one kid who went to MI-SU and one who went to MT-SU. There's plenty of M* schools out there that need to be properly differentiated.

(The rest of us graduated from/attended the UofMI (among others) in one way or another.)

This looks as likely as anything to pique the USSC’s interest.

I say clearly bogus, even on the stated reasoning since the opposition had no mere shoestring budget at its disposal. How else did the court think a challenge would come if it did, except as a class action through a well funded interest group?
