MSNBC host Al Sharpton said Thursday on “José Díaz-Balart Reports” that the U.S. Supreme Court ruling on affirmative action programs for college admissions was a “dagger in our backs.”
Sharpton said, “Well, I think that this is tantamount to sticking a dagger in our back because what they have said now is that it is unconstitutional to even consider race. And given the racial history of the country, let’s not act like blacks are behind because there’s something in our genes that made us behind. It was against the law for us to even read and write until 160 years ago. We were enslaved for 246 years. So it is to completely throw to the wind the history of why we needed affirmative action in the first place.”
He continued, “So now you have a right-wing Trump court, let’s not forget Trump nominated a third of the sitting court, nine members, three of which Trump put on there, that is saying well, we’ll protect the voting rights on Thursday, Friday and Monday and then we’re going to pull the rug from under you.”

AMEN
Clearance Thomas grew up under real discrimination, segregation and Violinc3 while you grew up in NYin comfort. He just obliterated tou race huslers.
I don’t belive that either.
From Fredrick Douglas , one our best Americans and a true Prophet: “Everbody has asked the question, “ what shall be done for the Negro?” I have but one answer from the begining, do nothing with us! Your doing with us has already played the mischief with us.If the apples will not remain on the tree, if they are wormeaten to the core, if they are early ripe,and disposed to fall , let them fall! And if the Negro can not stand on his own two legs let him fall also! All I ask is he be given the chance to stand on his own legs.LEAVE HIM ALONE!
Things are getting ramped up, between this and the Mississippi cops.
So, Sharpton is admitting that he does not believe blacks are smart enough to get into college without special considerations for their race? If I were black, I’d be highly pi$$ed at him for that dis!
