"universities will not be restricted from using race as a factor"


Is this a typo, or am I reading it wrong?

When the FBI finds out who responded with a negative comment for affirmative action in the survey using IRS records they will make certain the people pay double in reparations.

Yes, and now we have to eliminate minority set-asides, priority in government contracting, preference in hiring and exemption from prosecution for certain ethnicities.

It must become legal again to say “It’s OK to be White.”

Is the frigging idiot Ryan King or his editor?

Meritocracy is the only way.

Stop blaming others for your failures.

“Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society,” former President Barack Obama said in a statement.

“But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.”


So what exactly is old Zero saying?

But but but the CBS Sunday Morning show and Meat the Press both said the majority of Americans are AGAINST the Supreme Court's ruling.

And they continue crying about us no longer trusting their propaganda presented as news. Open your ears to God, get back in touch with your souls and then get back to us when you've regained enough backbone to resume reporting truth.

That is because the media has not yet explained to them why this decision is terrible and how it will ruin their lives.

In the long run it will benefit the schools since they will have actually qualified graduates

The problem in this country is all the racists of verious privileged ethnicities who just want to keep what they got through hard work. This is very unfair to those who don’t agree with putting in hard work, when because of racism it won’t get them anywhere.

Throughout entire human history and every culture and civilization, merit is used to enroll students for higher education education…. Until blacks comes in. Why?

It’s the same split on every major issue.
We are two nations held together by habit.

I don’t want to live in their world.
They don’t want to live in mine.

National Divorce is the answer.
No Civil War but Civil Separation.
Choose Freedom - Choose Peace.

That’s not going to work. The new leftist land, will be more leftist than ever. But in the other “conservative” land, the leftists will start to take over on day one.

Their existence depends wholly on OPM.
