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.

A teacher I once knew had a sign up in her classroom which said something to the effect of.....
Fair isn’t giving everyone the same thing. Fair is giving everyone what they need to succeed.
The country offers EVERYONE equal opportunity, the country does NOT offer equal outcomes!! Same thing the teacher was saying!! Unfortunately in minority communities the school system is atrocious this IS the damn governments fault, the Dept of Education needs to be abolished turned over to the private sector!!
Replace "treated equally" with "held to the same standards", Whoopi. Oh...wait...not acceptable?
Don’t confuse the Buffet-slamming idiot with facts.
Caryn Elaine Johnson changed her name to Goldberg thinking that if she had a Jewish name she could get ahead, seems to have worked out well for her.
BET, MTV, etc...
‘Karl Marx says, “The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of class struggle”. This view is limited to what can be observed, measured, or computed.’
In theory, perhaps. In reality, if the observations, measurments, or computations do not comport to the expectations of the Marxists, then they are tweaked, falsified, or ignored. Marxism is based on preconceived, nonscientific assumptions as much as any religion, and though it uses pseudoeconomics or pseudoscience for support, that’s just a thin veneer of rationalism over a fundamentally irrational worldview.
Lol. A millionaire professional victim.
There is only one problem. Success is college is generally measured by the subject’s intelligence before entering. Sorry Whoppi, and you are an example, the Bell Curve never lies.
I thought it was ironic that idiot KBJ, or whatever her name is, quoted Martin Luther King but not the “judged by the content of their character” part.
The most predictive measure of the success of children is an intact nuclear family with a mother and a father who give love, teach discipline and model love of God and neighbor.
Correction:
Black supremacist Caryn Johnson...
Oh now, let’s not let FACTS about the history of the Democrat party get in the way of their current political narrative!
Oh, it certainly is a religion. A religion prospering those animals who are more equal than other animals.
HEY HEY HEY Fat Whoopi
The View co-host Whoopi Goldberg: ‘If everyone was actually treated equally, we wouldn’t have had to put in affirmative action ... to treat people unequally’
...and maybe there would never have been a father known as “baby daddy”, no mother known as “baby mama”, It should be just “Mom & Dad”.
I will be glad when she finally transitions into a toad.
Critical Race Theory was invented to explain why Affirmative Action did nothing to lift blacks out of the ghetto.
Because nobody wanted to admit the truth.
