Andrea Mitchell: “I don’t know if there are cases” of whites hurt by affirmative action
Legal Insurrection ^ | Mark Finkelstein

Posted on 08/03/2017 7:06:07 AM PDT by governsleastgovernsbest

Yesterday, we noted the left’s freak-out over the news that the Justice Department will be investigating race-based discrimination in college and university admissions.

The freak-out was on full display on Andrea Mitchell’s MSNBC show yesterday. You knew the fix was in from Mitchell’s choice as guests of two critics of the initiative: the Washington Post‘s Jonathan Capehart, and Janai Nelson of the NAACP Legal Defense and Educational Fund.

The most outrageous moments came when Mitchell said: “I don’t know if there are cases, even” of white students being disadvantaged by minority students taking available slots.

She’s an idiot. But affirmative action is nothing but giving rich blacks more money. It never gives the kid in the ghetto a leg up.

In college admissions, affirmative action is all about giving advantages to the children of middle/upper class blacks, over working-class whites.

Why on earth does she think there is a court case about it then? Does she thin some girl just made up a fictional case?

The media got bitchslapped over the election. You’d think they’d learn their lesson. But no ... they have only gotten worse. They’ve upped their stupidity game to an entirely new level.

Well it’s been “a few years” but I know of several other caucasians who were told by our consellors to consider alternatives in our pre-med track, because the odds of use getting accepted into medical school were somewhere between slim and none. And I completed three majors and graduated Magna. Still not good enough “for some reason”...

No regrets on my part, but some others were devastated by the realization that reverse discrimination based on skin color was going to keep them from realizing their ambition.

That’s alright, Andrea. You never knew much of anything anyway.

For decades our country has been selecting people, not by the content of their character, but, instead, by the color of their skin.

Every time this occurs, a white person is hurt because they were the most qualified, but were sent packing.

By routinely not selecting the best qualified for decades, we have produced people with disordered minds, like Andrea Mitchell, who stupidly pretend that they cannot see the obvious.

Dad asked me one time while was in the hospital for a week “did you notice there is only one white person working here? They are all foreigners”.

Yes Dad...they are the only ones who can get approved for a grant to go school.

Not surprised. Maybe if your cousin’s grandson could claim that he has one/one thousandth Native American lineage that might help. It worked for Fauxahontas, didn’t it?

Well, she’s telling the truth about one thing: SHE “DOESN’T KNOW”.

Would be really great if she STFU about things she didn’t know.

Unless Andrea only recently became an teenager, she is either an ignorant ditch or imbecile...

IIRC, there has already been court cases and the white candidate won the case.

I cannot speak to racial bias, but I can speak a volume about gender bias for admissions into a particular law school. I personally knew the dean of the school through professional contacts and albeit a veteran, with a good GPA in college coupled with a 600 plus LSAT was told I was rejected as they had to “balance their gender”, IOW, I being male was not getting in. He added, wait till next year, apply again and with your credentials you will be admitted as this year is an anomaly. Already 26, I decided to pass on that career path which actually worked out well for me. Still, it angers me 45 years later.

Every single time that someone has gotten “a hand up” because of Affirmitive Action, it means, literally, that “the most qualified canditidate” was passed over so that a minority could get the job.

Every single time.

Affirmative Action, by virtue of it’s existence, is unfair to anyone who does not benefit from it.

Fake News from another Leftist network. This is in regard to a 2015 suit brought by 64 ASIAN organizations who are concerned about the blatant discrimination of Asian students by universities in the U.S. Of course, Obama left it on the shelf because Asian students don’t have black skin, so discrimination against them didn’t matter to that racist thug.
