HBO’s Soledad O’Brien Blasted as Racist for Tweet Attacking Asian American Activist After SCOTUS Ruling

O'Brien scolds Asian American activist that 'civil rights paved the way for your family'

HBO correspondent Soledad O’Brien is getting blasted as racist on Twitter after she attacked a prominent Asian American activist for "screwing over other people of color" in her fight against affirmative action.

In a 6-3 decision on Thursday, the Supreme Court ruled that using race as a factor in college admissions violated the 14th Amendment's equal protection clause. After the ruling, many Asian Americans, including Asian Wave Alliance President Yiatin Chu, celebrated the decision as a step towards equal treatment at major universities.

"I told my daughter that today is a big day. They’ve ended affirmative action. ‘Isn’t it what you’re been fighting for?’ she asked. I said yes," Chu tweeted. O’Brien, a former CNN anchor who now hosts and produces her own talk show on FYI and serves as a correspondent on "HBO’s Real Sports With Bryant Gumbel," accused Chu of "screwing over" those whose civil rights efforts "paved the way" for people like Chu.

Libtards think it’s okay to be racist as long as they get to pick a s choose and really screw over white people.

Some feel that the racism is aimed at the Caucasian community.

As long as Asians continue to vote majority Dimm in election after election, it’s hard to sympathize. Hopefully, things are changing but I am not yet holding my breath.

The perverse thing here is that many libtards are guilt-ridden, deluded whites, who are working against not only their short term interests, but the long term interests of their descendants.

Don't they understand that ABCW (Anything but cis-White) is going to get their children and grandchildren mugged on the streets, denied decent neighborhoods (unless they are rich), and is going to disadvantage them in every area of employment where the government's preferences matter? Directly or indirectly, that's more than half the economy (Federal, State, local governments and entities who have to please them, as well as bakers and candlestick makers attack by the woke)?

The cognitive dissonance is astounding.

Almost all Liberal Democrats, especially the Hollywood types are the Biggest RACISTS you will ever find.

Don’t get me wrong, they love black and brown people, as long as they stay in their place...

Soledad should remember that the good folks in Rock Ridge don’t think too much of the Irish.

Good post.

Solidad also seems ignorant of the history of the Chinese in this country brought to mine gold and build railroads. There’s a cemetery not far from me full of those slaves.

The Japanese were put into concentration camps and lost everything.

Sister!! You ain’t the only one who has paid

Shut up.

The Irish took sick on ships in the St. Lawrence Seaway escaping the potato famine. There were dozens of boats. The dead were thrown overboard. The locals gathered the dead, and put them back on the ships, and wouldn’t let any debark. Solodad, others have had shitty days.

All six of the children in her family went to Harvard. I have no idea if it had anything to do with her mother being partly of Afro-Caribbean descent; her father was Irish/Scottish from Australia so I would say they don’t have a lot to complain about either about, or in this country.
