As a result of the SFFA’s lawsuit against Harvard, it was revealed that student prospects who come from wealthy backgrounds are “accepted at a rate of nearly 34 percent, compared with just 5.9 percent of ordinary people.” Additionally, there are many documented cases of wealthy people simply buying their children into these elite institutions by donating large sums of money to said universities.
Does it really matter? Yes, it absolutely does.
Without Affirmative Action, Civil Rights would've been a write-off, schools wouldn't be diverse at all and desegregation never would've happened. Sometimes people need to be forced to do the right thing because if people were naturally good then there would be no need for government in the first place. When California banned AA, black enrollment dropped considerably and it still hasn't recovered to this day. If you think banning AA is a good thing then go put on your KKK hood, because you're no different than them in my eyes as a black person.
You can't just wait around for the good nature of people to help, because if that's what you want then you're going to be waiting for an eternity, we black folk know. We were pushed that line ever since the end of the Civil War, and it still didn't happen until 100 years later when we made noise for people to wake up.
Handing the reps one of the big wins they've been wanting for decades will always matter
This article in a nutshell: "Hello fellow blacks, here's why increased segregation is actually a good thing and you're dumb if you think otherwise!" Notice how this shit is almost always written by token Black mouth-pieces for racist "leftists." I'm convinced that none of these people actually want a just society. They want the same apartheid system but with universal healthcare, and I say fuck em. They're just as patronizing as democrats.
seriously this is the worst "leftist" article ive ever seen posted here. Like i actually saw red when I read this shit the first time. their argument literally a was "if less black people get into college that we leftist get rhetorical arguments, plus who care if black people even go to nice colleges in the first place?" . like this is actual racists trash. im legitimately questioning if a real black person wrote this its so bad. If I were a conservative this is the exact article I would write to try to trick the worlds dumbest leftist into supporting on of worst rollback of rights for back people we have seen this decade.
im legitimately questioning if a real black person wrote this its so bad.
Just looked into the author, and now I'm doubtful too. They have no real internet presence, zero photos and a suspicious interest in South African politics. Pretty sure they're using an alias. Would bet money on them being a white person trying to pass themselves off as African.
yeah im not a suspicious person but they have only written articles for unicorn riot. and they aren't even a paid writer just a contributor. I think we caught an imposter. edit (i shouldnt try to make pun)
