The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg slams SCOTUS outlawing race as a factor in college admissions: 'If everyone was actually treated equally, we wouldn't have had to put in affirmative action'

Whoopi Goldberg has slammed SCOTUS for outlawing race as a factor in college admissions - saying they've 'upset' the precedent.

The View co-host, 67, said that if everyone was truly treated equally there would have never been a need for affirmative action in the first place.

The Supreme Court banned colleges from using race as a factor when admitting students in a landmark ruling on affirmative action Thursday.

The justices decided in a 6-3 vote that the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill (UNC)'s race-based affirmative action admissions policy is unconstitutional.

Goldberg said on The View following the ruling: 'The Supreme Court has upset a 45 year precedent, ruling it unconstitutional for universities to consider race in admissions.

'Now the 14th Amendment is supposed to promise equal protection, but if everyone was actually treated equally, we wouldn't have had to put in affirmative action.

'We wouldn't have had to do it!

'People wouldn't have had to march and beg and got hosed and all of these things people did just to balance us out with everything else going on in the country.'

The justices also today ruled 6-2 - with liberal justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused - that Harvard's admission policy should be struck down in decision sending shockwaves nationwide.

The ruling ends the decades-old 'affirmative action' policy that was designed to boost the number of black and Hispanic students in colleges.

Great. I assume you can still take discrimination cases to court, stupid lady. This is closer to equality, not farther.

Equal opportunity or equal outcome, Whoopi. And is Whoopi going to be the judge of when being treated equally has finally come to fruition?

I wonder if Whoopie actually believes she’d be hosting the view if she were an morbidly obese white woman?

“with liberal justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused”

LOL! Recused because she benefited from the policy in question?

Does Whoopi Goldberg think it’s still 1950?

Does anyone seriously believe that minorities have been discriminated against in college admissions in recent decades?

And what exactly is wrong with treating everyone equally? How can liberals say that the blacks or anyone are being discriminated against if they meet the standards for admission?

They make it sound like no black or other minority will ever be admitted to college ever again. They make it sound like discrimination is going to happen , when in fact , what this ruling does is treat everyone equally with no preferences given to anyone.

If every black man treated his baby mama and kids with love and respect, there’d be no need for government anything for blacks.

The Liberal Position - because some people were discriminated against in the past, other people should be discriminated against today to insure things are fair.

People who are benefitting from a set of rules that gives an advantage always work to continue those rules and even make them more restrictive (to increase their advantage), as they have gained a vested interest in maintaining the status quo. People not benefitting, but not concerned about intellectual honesty, try to find a way to join the privileged groups to get in on the gravy train.

This is true everywhere: In business, in sports, in education, in politics, in the law.... everywhere.

You're correct--but I think she qualified under the bonafide lesbian with 3 or 4 adopted kids of various ethnicity rule.
