Schadenfreude?
More than tokenism.
Asians and whites should forget about the Ivy schools and let them all become Howard Universities.
Why are they just recognizing this now? It’s been going on for years and years and white males have been put at the bottom of the list not only for university admissions but for jobs. Sandra Day O’Connor found nothing wrong with any of this. She said it should continue indefinitely. On what basis are people from India or Mexico or El Salvador or Ecuador or Commie China the victims of discrimination in this country and entitled to “protected” status and affirmative action set asides?
they are still using the name of a slave trader and master?
Bigot. /sarc
I would guess your friend was lied to. Race activists (lefty racists) made up the line about only Jews and Asians qualifying to shut whites up when they questioned reverse discrimination. You see, if no AA, no whites in college.
These anti white reeducation activities going on in gov., corps, and schools are discrimination, too.
“It’s been going on for years and years”\
I ran into it in the seventies.
I did really well on the civil service exam, and was trying to find out why I couldn’t get an interview. A fellow Navy guy told me in confidence, “By the time we finish hiring black women with Spanish surnames, we never even get to any white women. You’re not getting a job.”
A decade later I did really well on the Foreign Service Exam. I showed up in appropriate attire. All that day’s interviewees were gathered in a room. A diesel dyke wearing a red plaid lumberjack shirt came in and said, “We just lost a lawsuit for discriminating against women. Of course, that won’t affect the chances of you men here today. A-hyuk, a-hyuk, a-hyuk.”
Later, in my private interview, the first thing she said to me was, “Tell me everything you know about the history of the women’s movement.”
I’ve been discriminated against for being male, for being heterosexual, for being white, for being conservative, for doing too well on the Iowa Tests in elementary school, et cetera, et cetera, et cetera.
So I just cried like a little girl and gave up.
Oh, wait a tick. Sorry. No, I didn’t.
FR: Never Accept the Premise of Your Opponent’s Argument
If the well-intentioned, but nonetheless seemingly institutionally indoctrinated patriot attorneys at DOJ would start reading Free Republic, they would hopefully start doing the following.
Regarding our constitutionally limited power federal government, the attorneys would hopefully wake up and start taking the extra step in examining so-called federal law violations to make sure that a given law is reasonably based on one of the very few constitutionally enumerated powers that the states have given to the feds.
Regarding this Yale example, the states have never expressly constitutional given the unconstitutionally big federal government the specific constitutional powers to dictate policy, regulate, tax and spend for INTRAstate schools, or to make race-related civil rights laws beyond the scope of protecting voting rights.
From related threads…
Patriots are reminded that President Thomas Jefferson had indicated in a State of the Union address that the states would first need to appropriately amend the Constitution to expressly give Congress the power to deal with schools, something that the states have never done.
On a few articles of more general and necessary use, the suppression in due season will doubtless be right, but the great mass of the articles on which impost is paid is foreign luxuries, purchased by those only who are rich enough to afford themselves the use of them. Their patriotism would certainly prefer its continuance and application to the great purposes of the public education, roads, rivers, canals, and such other objects of public improvement as it may be thought proper to add to the constitutional enumeration of federal powers [emphases added].”—Thomas Jefferson : Sixth Annual Message to Congress
“Congress is not empowered to tax for those purposes which are within the exclusive province of the States.” Justice John Marshall, Gibbons v. Ogden, 1824.
”From the accepted doctrine that the United States is a government of delegated powers, it follows that those not expressly granted, or reasonably to be implied from such as are conferred, are reserved to the states, or to the people. To forestall any suggestion to the contrary, the Tenth Amendment was adopted. The same proposition, otherwise stated, is that powers not granted are prohibited [emphasis added].” —United States v. Butler, 1936.
Justice Joseph Story had also indicated that intrastate schooling was off-limits to Congress.
"The power to regulate manufactures, not having been confided to congress, they have no more right to act upon it, than they have to interfere with the systems of education, the poor laws, or the road laws, of the states [emphases added]. Congress is empowered to lay taxes for revenue, it is true; but there is no power to encourage, protect, or meddle with manufactures." —Joseph Story, Article 1, Section 8, Clause 1, Commentaries on the Constitution 2
Also, consider that the only powers that the states have expressly constitutionally given the feds to protect civil rights on the basis of race is the 15th Amendment, that amendment limiting Congress to make laws protecting race only in the context of voting-related discrimination.
"15th Amendment:Section 1: The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of race, color, or previous condition of servitude.Section 2: The Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added].”
In fact, misguided President Lyndon Johnson should never have signed the constitutionally indefensible (imo) Civil Rights Act of 1964 and its titles into law because the very limited scope of the 15th and 19th Amendments.
"19th Amendment:
The right of citizens of the United States to vote shall not be denied or abridged by the United States or by any State on account of sex.Congress shall have power to enforce this article by appropriate legislation [emphasis added]."
Send "Orange Man Bad" federal and state government desperate Democrats and RINOs home in November!
Supporting PDJT with a new patriot Congress and state government leaders that will promise to fully support his already excellent work for MAGA and stopping SARS-CoV-2 will effectively give fast-working Trump a "third term" in office imo.
