The Supremes punted to the lower court today in the University of Texas affirmative action case. No new groundbreaking law, just a note to the lower court to use a stricter level of scrutiny when considering things such as affirmative action. This is the toughest judicial evaluation allowed to consider whether government action is proper.
No problem. I am quite sure that universities have their ducks in a row and can justify how their admissions process works to create a better student body for learning.
The Supremes were pretty much unanimous in their decision, except for our favorite Uncle, who, although he wrote a concurring opinion, had to go out of his way to point out why affirmative action is a bad thing. (This from a man who himself benefited from affirmative action.) Clarence actually compared affirmative action to Jim Crow segregation and slavery. Think about that for a minute. Slavery!
"Slaveholders argued that slavery was a 'positive good' that civilized blacks and elevated them in every dimension of life," Thomas wrote in his separate opinion on Fisher v. University of Texas at Austin. "A century later, segregationists similarly asserted that segregation was not only benign, but good for black students."
Thomas cited Brown v. Board of Education, the landmark 1954 Supreme Court case that led to the desegregation of public schools, in drawing a comparison between segregation and affirmative action.
"Following in these inauspicious footsteps, the University would have us believe that its discrimination is likewise benign. I think the lesson of history is clear enough: Racial discrimination is never benign," he wrote in the 20-page opinion. "The University’s professed good intentions cannot excuse its outright racial discrimination any more than such intentions justified the now-denounced arguments of slaveholders and segregationists." [Source]
But Uncle Clarence, race is but one of many considerations schools such as the University of Texas use to make up a diversified student body. They consider things such as your economic background, geography, family history, and whether you served in the military. Sadly, this Negro is so full of self hate that all he sees is the racial aspect of what schools are trying to do with their student body.
People like Clarence Thomas will never understand this, because he does not live in the real world. The poor man is still running as far away from Pin Point, Georgia as he can.
Anyway, while Clarence was comparing affirmative action to slavery, his fellow republican, Rand Paul, was comparing the NSA surveillance program to slaves being lynched back in the day. Something about the lack of due process.
Excuse me Rand, but there is no moral equivalence between the two.
"One of them was when we judged the guilt of African Americans by lynching. People say, ‘Oh, that’s a dramatic comparison.’ Well that’s why we have steps and processes you go through to make sure you don’t have adjudication of guilt without a trial, without a lawyer, without a judge involved.”
Yes, but the last time I checked, Edward Snowden was not hanging from a tree with his eyeballs popping out and his skin turning gray.

Clarence Thomas is a sad and bitter man. He complains that his Yale degree is worth $0.15 but the fact is he wouldn't be sitting on the most powerful judicial body on the planet if he didn't have that Yale degree. Sad, bitter and ungrateful. He has so much potential to be a force for good but instead he spends his time playing the victim card. He is a good conservative, he lacks a sense of irony and has the self pity thing down pat.

--------------------
This is a brilliant and insightful comment. Probably too deep for STEPHEN and his FN followers. Following the ethics of one's CONSCIENCE is something quite foreign to most. Then there is the moral potency to put doing the right thing into action. THAT is not STEPHEN'S style.
But thank you for this comment. It has stirred something good in me that I want to follow.
Field, "Yes, but the last time I checked, Edward Snowden was not hanging from a tree with his eyeballs popping out and his skin turning gray."
Field, you left out that male slaves were castrated. You see, that would not happen to Whites because their lives are valued more than Blacks in America. Black lives seem to be throw aways,
Even Justice Clarence Thomas recognizes this. That's why he is against a level playing field for Blacks despite the history of racism in this country. I believe he no longer associates himself with Blacks. There are no Blacks in his life. Even his wife is White. But can you blame him?
Where in America are Blacks shouting "I am Black and I am proud"? NOWHERE. It's just the opposite...we are killing each other off because we hate being Black. CT just happens to be in a position of power to destroy Blacks like Blacks destroy themselves on the street.
It's a funny thing, though. YOU attack Clarence, but say little about the wholesale killings of Blacks in the streets. WHY?
Dear Mr Field, you probably have figured out that I am White when I say I believe you have misjudged Justice Thomas.
This Supreme Justice is trying to make sure Whites 'also' have a level playing field. For that, I am extremely grateful. Clarence Thomas has softened my heart toward your people and you have CT (as you disrespectfully call him) to thank. Be grateful for Justice Thomas, for he is playing a big role in changing America.
PilotX, your comment about CT is very offensive. Your pop psycho-analysis of the good Justice is out of bounds and quite perverse, considering you haven't had a day of therapy, let alone read a self-help to improve your own mind and heart.
You know, Mr. Field, I used to think that Clarence was just an old self-hating idiot but, then I realized that his work on the Bench is bringing in truckloads of money through his wife's connections with Conservative organizations.
We're sitting around calling him all kinds of fools and he and his wife are getting rich!
Val
Uncle Thomas used the race card to get on the Supreme Court (remember high tech lynching?. Once he got on the high court he turned his back on his community. By the way the people who benefit the most from affirmative action are white females.
George Zimmerman will be found guilty of something besides the fact that he did it )because his lawyer sucks. The wingnuts should ask for their donations back.
But Uncle Clarence, race is but one of many considerations schools such as the University of Texas use to make up a diversified student body.
LMAO.
You're funny, field.
Your on the fence with this one Field...
I know your trying to confuse me by speaking out against the ULTIMATE House Negro Clarence...
Hes almost as detestable as O-bomber for me... LOL
Good job on that HALF of your post...
Now I see your talking about the NSA mess. However you still approach it with this foolish
Left vs Right Paradigm...
Rand loves salacious comments to keep his name in the press..
A consummate politician..just like O-bomber...
In a effort to shame ol Rand Paul you MISS the point he is trying to convey..
Our First Amendment Rights are important, and its not really about Snowden, and certainly not about Rands's "Slavery" comment...
Its the hypocrisy that this administration displays on these such issues.
The man campaigned specifically against these over reaches when they were in infantile stages under Bush...
Where .. or What is the "Change" you voted for if he expands , and emboldens the same policies he was against while he campaigned??
Where would we be if the Panthers werent spied on...
Where would we be if Malcolm, if Martin ..werent spied on??
and you still tow the Administration line on this...
"Yes, but the last time I checked, Edward Snowden was not hanging from a tree with his eyeballs popping out and his skin turning gray."
He should be. But we don't hang traitors anymore, we make them Secretary of State.
The end is very near.
"No problem. I am quite sure that universities have their ducks in a row and can justify how their admissions process works to create a better student body for learning."
I love that rationale: Having minorities around 'enriches' the learning atmosphere for the white kids.
I guess the black and Hispanic students are like pets for the white students. Is that it?
How does admitting underqualified students create "a better student body for learning"? By setting some up to fail? Is it a cautionary tale about playing out of your league? Or perhaps it is to teach the white and Asian students that a lot of minorities can't graduate from college?
I guess to you, any harm done to black kids by failing out of college after a couple years and a few thousand dollars is outweighed by the 'vibrancy' added to the experience of the white students (the ones who got in, not the ones who got pushed aside by minorities with lower test scores).
How white of you.

Unfortunately for Field, you make him look sorely inadequate. Nevertheless, he is who he is. And he can always count on being supported from the bakery in PR, and the 'airport' in Chicago where X-Pilot once flew.

Wow. You make a good point, even though it really hurts me to admit it. You've got me seeing and hearing what brother CT has been saying in a new way. And, he might be right after all. Oh well, what does it matter?
Aren't we finished as a nation anyway? Everything that demanded excellence has been ruined.
How does admitting underqualified students create "a better student body for learning"?
It doesn't. That's why they admit the top ten percent of a graduating class. This program has not only made UT more diverse it is an overwhelming success. The problem is people assume AA means admitting underqualified kids but in reality it means recruiting qualified kids who may have gone elsewhere. If this program wasn't a success UT wouldn't be defending it.
"You know, Mr. Field, I used to think that Clarence was just an old self-hating idiot but, then I realized that his work on the Bench is bringing in truckloads of money through his wife's connections with Conservative organizations.

He's not a fool but he is ungrateful. He's rich beyond imagination, more powerful than almost any other human on the planet but all we hear from him are sob stories. He is a waste of talent.
There is a reason the rest of the Conservatives didn't sign on with Uncle Clarence. The biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action for diversity today are native born white males. If schools admitted solely on grades and test scores, women would be the majority on most elite school campuses. They test better then men an get better grades when it counts. Also, lets not forget who are the test Masters. Watch reruns of the National Spelling Bee. Then there are Marie and Tina Vachovsky, twins in San Diego who have perfect scores on their SAT and 4.5 GPA. Their parents are immigrants from Bulgaria. Whachall gon'do?
You know what else is like slavery Field? Parking ticket! And speed limits are just like the holocaust. And driving on freeways during rush hour is almost worse than the rape of Nanking
FREE PUSSY RIOT!
Since Clarence is so bothered by affirmative action, he should do the right thing and step down from the SCOTUS. After all, if it were anybody but Thurgood Marshall who had stepped down, would Clarence be on the court?
And... If niggas really don't like the "N" word, g'damit, boycott EVERY single entity that makes $$ from its use. Or, we need to tell white a-merry-kkka, "It's okay to use the "N" word".
Free PUSSY RIOT.
And, leave Paula Dean alone; she and folks liker her have enough trying to hang on to (rapidly vanishing) white privilege.

I'd like to think so, but sadly I suspect you are wrong.
AA Jackson, the entire premise of your comment is false. You are assuming the AA kids are less qualified. This is how the mind of the racist works.
BTW, as someone above stated, white females benefit more from Af action than blacks.
Echo the fact that white women benefited more than the AA as a class From being there....women were WACs in the army. An inferior status that required them (women) to only hold certain noncombatant roles. I went thru Vietnam and never saw any women in job that could put her in harms way. With equal opportunity, I as a qualified combat medic was recruited for a "dust-off" medic 1969 when EO opened door for Blacks to be used in some higher echelon jobs in the military. AA was first tried out in the military where we were a controlled group. Then the women-white girls- were affirmative action(ed) into many jobs that the Blacks to this day still have road-blocks. Look at the number of female pilots, combat medics, engineers and so on. White women has made the transition due to her likability and familiarity with the dominate white male bosses of everything. (used to be). Now after an intendant class has transited big time... time to close the door and to be closed by someone -(whom he says)-that benefited greatly.I am of the opinion that the majority race still have "pets" -(CT)-that they can go to.. to dilute the animus derived by these conversations. I find it strange that there is not a white ground-swell when Black athletes are taking smarter (by their measurements) whites place. Wonder what Brother Thomas would say to that form of slavery. I used the word pet in a neutral way. Justice Thomas may one day be forceful in a non-racial issue. That why I used the word pet because that the only time I hear from him is when he has to tamper down some race issue. Compare the data for white women versus Blacks and come back and let me know if this program was designed with the African American as an afterthought. Still receiving crumbs from the master's table.
I don't know what the hell Clarence Thomas is, but I know if I had to wake up beside that sucka every morning, I'd instantly turn into Usain Bolt. I may have spelled Usain's name wrong and I apologize. God, Clarence is horrific!!
Anon8:26am, CT is not a bad looking man. He is rather handsome. You are a racist and you are jealous of him! And what the hell is that Usain Bolt about?
Why are you attacking bm who have relationships with ww, you racist freak.

------
This is as dumb as you get, X. If the students admitted under AA were not underqualified, then they would have been admitted without AA.
Favortism does AA beneficiaries an injustice by putting them in situations where it will be very difficult to succeed. It also teaches them that they do not have to apply themselves 100% in high school in order to get ready for college, since they will get in anyway. Thirdly, it casts aspersions on the achievements of the majority of black kids who actually do have the chops to succeed in college and the work world.
But the biggest injustice is to white kids who would have made it in on merit but were denied a spot because they were white.
Affirmative action just isn't right.

If they were not less qualified, they would not need AA. That's not "racist", that's simple logic.

I think that is probably true, but why should anyone benefit because of the group they belong to? Shouldn't we work toward a system where every individual is treated fairly?

AFFIRMING REALITY
Affirmative action is mandatory for affirmative discrimination. Racist employers have proven that they will only be fair when forced to be so legally. Affirmative action ensures fairness in increasingly hostile and ruthless workplaces.
Neoconservatives paint affirmative action as a program that favors the hiring of community college graduates over Ivy League graduates. It does no such thing. It does INCLUDE Black Ivy Leaguers in otherwise exclusively white Ivy League personnel pools. Racism forces most Black college graduates to be academically superior to their white peers. Whatever we do, racist professors force us to do it better than white students to achieve the same grades. Fortunately, we excel with habitual ease.
Masterfully, neocons are revamping affirmative action programs to benefit white South Africans and conservative white, female Americans exclusively. Actually, it has always benefitted whites more than Blacks, as “quotas” are always predominately white numerically. Sexism is still more rampant than racism. Black men still earn more than Black women in similar jobs. White women fare better than all Blacks in every occupational arena.
In 1984, author George Orwell coined the term “Newspeak”. Neocons speak it fluently. “Affirmative action reform” really means “securing the good old white boy networks in offices everywhere”. Racism is STILL a reality, especially in employment. The playing fields in the offices of America have never been made level. And, the racist coaches never changed the rules of the game. Don those helmets. This game is getting tougher daily. The New World Order is in progress. The Revolution is in the streets...

I didn't say "black students", I said "AA beneficiaries". I do know that scenario: If you put someone in a position based on a criteria other than their straight up qualifications, it will be difficult for them to do well.

You're absolutely right about this.
What MANY racist white folks need to admit is that the primary way many of them are admitted to colleges/universities is through "legacy action". And that is far more capricious than AA will EVER be.

That is ridiculous.
Legacy admissions to educational institutions are the reserve of the donor class, the upper 1%.
And even if legacy admissions were common, why not work to end them, rather than set up a whole other unjust favoritism system?
Obviously in the current system, non-elite whites, particularly males, are the ones who pay the price.
Sorry AA Jackson, white males have never paid the price for anything. There would be no need for the current system of AA if there hadn't been white male AA for centuries. Not a peep about that but hell even then white males played the victim card.

"White male AA"? Who was giving special preference to those white males?
The Texas Top Ten Percent system brings in top students from impoverished all black schools who aren't prepared for the competition at UT, while excluding higher scoring blacks from tougher integrated middle class schools where they got lower GPAs because they had to compete with Asians and whites. Is that wise?
Of course it's manifestly unwise, not to mention egregiously unfair, to send a lot of unqualified Blacks to the best schools just because they finished in the top 10% of their uncompetitive school, when it's been more than amply demonstrated that they flunk out in large numbers. Rather than admitting more qualified Blacks from more competitive schools, who didn't quite manage to finish in the top 10%, but who do a lot better at university.
Stupidity like that, which is representative of majority opinion, is just one more reason why America will continue to fall down its very own rathole, until it reaches some kind of bottom.
Most people don't even know that Jews are perhaps the biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action in the Ivy League, something that Ron Unz has documented.

We ARE working toward a system where every individual is treated fairly. It took centuries of slavery, lynchings, and Jim Crow laws by Whites perpetrated on Blacks to get where we are today. AA didn't happen out of a vacuum. It happened in an effort to level the playing field, ie, to bring about fairness to those who were mistreated unfairly by white men. Do you not know the history of your country? Or are you pretending to be so moralistic that you have never noticed that America is a racist country that perpetrated many injustices on Blacks? Maybe you should read and listen to Tim Wise?

AA didn't happen out of a vacuum. It happened in an effort to level the playing field, ie, to bring about fairness to those who were mistreated unfairly by white men. Do you not know the history of your country?
Hes just being willfully ignorant....
Just like this clown...
"White male AA"? Who was giving special preference to those white males?
They live in some vacum bubble where slavery never happened, and black folks just forced themselves upon poor unsuspecting land owners...
People like this LOVE to Re write History...

Racism is a wretched persistent evil perpetrated by AA Jackson and other unconscionable people with like character. Their history in America defines who they are: "Untrustworthy and Against The Human Race."
Thanks for the heads up about these creatures.
Well, well, well. The Supremes struck down Section 4 of the VRA. Blacks continue to lose ground as citizens. I wonder what Field and BlackisBeautiful are thinking?
Does anyone know if this law will affect PR, or the VIs? Jamaica is looking better and better.
Does anyone know if A Panther Forever has a blog?

Do you not know the history of your country? Or are you pretending to be so moralistic that you have never noticed that America is a racist country that perpetrated many injustices on Blacks?

Anyone who is perpetrating an injustice against anyone else should be held accountable. Name names, don't whine about generalizations.
AA doesn't "level the playing field", it just tilts it in a different direction.
Affirmative Action is wrong.

Can you answer the question, or are you just being willfully ignorant?
Who was it that granted special privileges to males of the white race?
I'm not surprised. No Sir. That's just the tip of the iceberg. Right now, those racist white folks are working on trying to bring back legalize killing of black males. Yep,
Word for today:
Hosea 4:6
My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge...

You're right Granny. Why I wouldn't be surprised if those Raciss Rethuglicans don't introduce a bill tomorrow legalizing the killing of black males. Yes, no surprise at all.
Do you think the President will veto it?
Uncle Clarence IS *LYING*!!! He himself does NOT BELIEVE what he is saying! He is insulting your intelligence and that OF EVERY reader! He CLAIMS to think that
"Racial discrimination is never benign", but the Texas case occurs in a context of the "8% rule" (10% back when the case arose) where the top 8% of graduates OF ANY Texas high school get admitted to a University of Texas campus! THAT IS *BLATANTLY* racially discriminatory BECAUSE Texas has such a racist and segregated public education system! If you REALLY had a problem with discrimination then you would have HAD to begin THERE, WITH THE 10% RULE! But he never worries about THAT, OR ABOUT THE INEQUITY IN EDUCATION THAT LED TO IT, AT ALL!!
The LYING *HYPOCRITE*.
All I can say is that I pray that WE as a people can be VIGILANT.
If WE had condemned Clarence Thomas as what he was WHEN HE WAS NOMINATED, then Wyche Fowler and Terry Sanford WOULD HAVE KNOWN to do THE RIGHT THING and Clarence Thomas WOULD NEVER HAVE BEEN on the Supreme Court! And we would still have a Voting Rights Act.
If these people REALLY considered Africans to be CITIZENS, they wouldn't have been treating us this way for the past 500 years. We're so insane, we took the name of the country of people who OWNED us and still do. Jesse gave us the name "Americans", Paula Deen knows the real deal. We're Africans FORCED to Native Lands, STOLEN by Europeans to claim as their own. Truth be told, the Natives are the ones who belong here, the rest of us are playing house. We're Africans stuck in No-Man's Land.
