The Supreme Court is releasing key decisions on issues such as affirmative action, student loan payments and LGBTQ rights. Follow here for the latest live news updates.
The US is as fundamentally white supremacist today as it was way back then - if you need reminding, just think back to 2016 when more than half of all white people in the US voted a KKK-approved colostomy bag full of tanning lotion into the Waffle House. Or you could just take a look at who the main victims of the carceral slavery system are.
Segregation; lynchings; slavery; these are all things that were systematically outlawed and struck down in our society today.
Segregation in the US is alive and well. We watch cops lynching black people on tv all the damn time, and slavery is literally enshrined in the constitution.
It’s still a problem today, yes.
It’s not a problem - it’s a feature of a fundamentally white supremacist society.

A spray-tanned muppet that was enthusiastically endorsed into the Waffle House by the majority of white USians while he was hurling around white supremacist dog-whistles.
Its very easy to forget, but theres a difference between the majority of Americans and the majority of American voters… it was more like 15% of the country that voted for him and of that 15% about 60% were white, 40% nonwhite. so it’s more in the range of 5-10 percent of the US population that you’re misrepresenting as a majority white supremacist sentiment.

To be clear the Supreme Courts decision here is a regulation on the universities. Not a removal of regulations.
Affirmative action was an option that institutions could choose if they thought was appropriate… Now that option has been regulated away.
