I think you even get more leeway if the people are illegal immigrants.


That will make the legal immigrants happy. NOT

SCOTUS strikes down racist college diversity programs.


The Court ruled against Affirmative Action. Not diversity.

Roberts opinion provides an easy out.

"At the same time, as all parties agree, nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting universities from considering an applicant's discussion of how race affected his or her life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise," Roberts wrote.

The colleges will still get the diversity they want, by asking applicants 'How has race affected your life, be it through discrimination, inspiration, or otherwise?'

The words are largely used interchangeably as I am here.

It was so much fun watching the reactions on this from the left. If someone on the right was talking like they are they would be screaming "RACIST" at the top of their lungs. One girl was whining that she could no longer use her race to get special treatment. The lamestream media of course does not have the guts to say "why can't you just compete on your merits?"

Then others whine that because someone was discriminated against 50-100 years ago we need to discriminate against others today.

It is all showing why I do not listen when these people say something is racist as they are the biggest racists out there.

Ah, let him celebrate his victory for his favorite oppressed group, the white man (correction) the straight white man.

Biden student loan handout scheme struck down. SCOTUS sends message he is a president not an emperor like he acts.

That was dead as soon as it left Biden's mouth, nobody believed it was true or going to happen except gullible college students. Even Nancy Pelosi said that the president doesn't have authority to do that only Congress does. Everybody and I mean everybody knew it would eventually get struck down, everybody except dumbass college grads who owe tons of money. It's like the reparations thing in California, there's never going to be any reparations it's just a trick to fool the black people for a while. As people who know about the stuff point out there's absolutely no way to fairly distribute money so no money will ever be given out.

Just so I get it straight, you are saying a person should be judged on skin color?

Your reading comprehension sucks. Nowhere did rxwine say anything close to that.

Why not, it's what black people do. In that community the darker your skin is the more you are looked down on. If you came directly from Africa and your skin is jet black good luck getting any friends African Americans will avoid you like the plague. When I had the cab company I worked with a lot of black guys and they talked about skin color all the time.
