The United States Supreme Court struck down affirmative action in college admissions in a 6-3 decision on Thursday, blocking higher educational institutions from considering race in admissions decisions.
The centrality of race to the case prompted a war of words between the Court's two Black justices in their respective opinions, with each offering starkly different views of the role that race should play in decision-making by policymakers writ large.
In his own 57 page long concurring opinion, Associate Justice Clarence Thomas — a staunch conservative appointed by Republican President George H.W. Bush — argued that "all forms of discrimination based on race — including so-called affirmative action" are prohibited under the US Constitution, offering a full-throated defense "colorblindness" in the founding document.

Jackson's own 29-page dissent is dedicated to explaining the "universal benefits of considering race" in higher education, arguing that such considerations are important due to the "intergenerational transmission of inequality" that originated with slavery and continued through subsequent government policies in the decades since then.
"Given our history, the origin of persistent race-linked gaps should be no mystery," Jackson wrote. "History speaks. In some form, it can be heard forever. The race-based gaps that first developed centuries ago are echoes from the past that still exist today. By all accounts, they are still stark."

CRT was supposed to explain why AA does not work, and blacks remain in the ghetto.
Jackson conflates them as necessary to get a desired outcome, without regard to Equal Protection.
This is a worldview we will be at war with for at least a century.
“universal benefits of considering race”
Otherwise known as unconstitutional
“History speaks. In some form, it can be heard forever.”

I think she doth protest too much.
What’s the problem Justice Jackson? Are you worried because you think your ENTIRE existence is owed to this? The Court you are one just held that your career is based on a too long tolerated fraud that shat upon the Constitution.
She is the very definition of a racist.
A race based appointee doesn’t like being called out.
Leftist rag Business Insider doing spin
To compare her brainpower to his is to compare a firecracker to a nuke. She is an ignorant......
From now on she shall be referred to as Token Brown Jackson. If she wasn’t a black woman, she would not be on the Supreme Court of the United States.
Justice Thomas can define what is a woman. Jackson can’t.
How can she define this when she can’t even define what a woman is?
This African biatch is nothing but trouble. She is not qualified to be on the SCOTUS. Damn ditzy broad. She the Dung Beetle Party’s Token Black Attacker of Black Conservatives.
They will never get past this.
We gotta get them back to mother africa. Its such a racial paradise compared to our awful country.
I would bet my last martini that Jackson ACTUALLY WAS ONE OF THOSE WHO BENEFITED FROM AA.
She sure didn’t get there on her intelligence.
Exactly. She should be modest and ashamed. But she has a chip on her should and is arrogant.
The Obamas are at their Mansions complaining
So sayeth this person who cannot define a woman...she’s an insult to her race
Hard to believe Jackson can make such judgements. Just a few months age she did not have a clue how to define a woman. Dumber than a box of rocks.
Race consciousness is anyone promoting skin color must have preferential treatment.
Color blindness, forced if necessary, is the opposite of her “race consciousness” BS. She is the racist.
