Judging people not by the content of their character, but by the color of their skin.
Blacks comprise just 4.6 percent of undergraduates this year, compared to 8.9 percent in 1995 and 7 percent in 2006.
Here's a novel idea: How about educating "minorities" in grades K-12 so there are able to compete with all wannabe college students for admission to the college of their choice. If the "minorities" Spencer covets so dearly to attend the university are not academically qualified, place the blame where it is deserved - the democrat party (no teachers' union accountability, no inner city personal responsibility, government dependence-caused unwed mothers raising children without the father, etc., etc., etc.)
Divided opinion? It wasn't unanimous, but it was overwhelming - 6 to 2!!!!
The unwise Latina wrote the LOSING opinion. The screed went on for more pages than the four majority opinions combined.
Unwise Latina was joined by Ruth Buzzi Ginsburg.
It’s just about the numbers, not real achievement. If we just put window dressing in the window, you don’t need real learning to occur.
Is it really the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor which deserves the wrath for low minority enrollment? What about Michigan’s government HS and the teachers and administrators there? How about the grade school, the welfare system in Michigan or even the parents?
The blame game is an intentional lie.
Hey, cc, you couldn’t find a better site to link the news from? This place does not even mention that Breyer joined the conservatives.
For the SCOTUS ping list.
FINALLY! Reverse discrimination partially BANNED.
Soft bigotry of low expectations. Shame on Mary Sue.
The U.S. Supreme Court upheld Michigan's controversial ban on affirmative action in public college admissions in a divided opinion released Tuesday morning, preserving a status quo that's contributed to dwindling minority enrollment at the state's flagship colleges.
IIRC, the ban against racial preferences adapted into Michigan's state constitution by referendum [initially called Prop 2] covers all state transactions, and is not limited to state college admissions. Furthermore, the deception here is that the writer implies that the U of M is following the ban on affirmative action currently, when that is not the case.
The high court's decision is a blow to the University of Michigan in Ann Arbor, which has come under fire for low minority enrollment.
A blow to the U of M? Really? On the contrary, it should strengthen the University because on the whole, the students will be more qualified.
University of Michigan President Mary Sue Coleman and admissions director Ted Spencer have decried the affirmative action ban, saying outright that the school cannot achieve a fully diverse student body with it in place.
This is really deceptive. As for as is known, the U of M has NOT DROPPED affirmative action from their undergrad admissions process, now eleven years after the SCOTUS decision in Gratz and 7 years after Prop 2 went into effect as state law. They didn't like it, and they refused to live with it, even though it was the law of the state (and the law of the United States).
Good riddance, Mary Sue. And don't let the door hit you on the way out! Hopefully your successor will abide by the law, which you obviously failed to do.

So Breyer left the (liberal) reservation, in the interest of not DESTROYING the lives of blacks that ultimately fail-out, and then, rightfully, blame “the system” for screwing them. In other words, the same blacks ‘accepted’ at Michigan could have gone to Wayne State and did JUST FINE.
Affirmative Action is STATE-SANCTIONED racism and racial profiling.
In fact, all other anti-white drivel you hear on MSNBC et. al. is Racial Profiling too.
Additionally, the word “Liberal” has been hijacked by the Leftist Marxists.
There is nothing “liberal” about today’s Democrats. They don’t want individual freedom.
In reality, today’s “Liberals” have nothing in common with “Classical Liberalism.”

Even the strong-on-defense JFK Democrats wouldn’t even recognize today’s fascist liberals.
As long as the “GimmeDats” get “free stuff” they don’t care how much the government spends.
Obamacare needs to be called out for what it is: “Socioeconomic Fascism!!”
It is a war of words, and so far, the liberal swine have won the battle with slick dishonest catch-phrases like:
“affirmative action”
“affordable care act”
“tolerance”
“diversity”
“inclusion”
“income inequality”
“social justice”
Who is in charge of coming up with equally convincing catch-phrases for the conservative side of the battlefield??
-—”GimmeDats” is one of the best phrases we need to start using.
-—”Socioeconomic Fascism”
-—”Greedy Liberals” (after all, they are the greedy ones, not people who want to keep their own hard-earned money)
