Scalia: Affirmative Action Sends Blacks To Schools Too Advanced For Them

[TheBlackAdder]

.


In an unsurprising statement, Scalia takes the position that Affirmative Action sends black kids to schools that are too advanced. He'd rather keep them where they are so they will have a lesser chance of going to a top notch university.

Referencing an unidentified amicus brief, Scalia said that there were people who would contend "that it does not benefit African-Americans" who don't do well in the schools that accept them under affirmative action, and that those students would be better off in the less advanced schools that they would have otherwise gone to.

He argued that "most of the black scientists in this country do not come from the most advanced schools" and that they benefit from a "slower track."

"They're being pushed into schools that are too advanced for them," Scalia said Wednesday of minority students accepted under affirmative action programs.

1. 100%, and I hate his FN guts too.

[Funtatlaguy]

2. I voted 80%

Just because he refrained from saying anything about:
Coloreds
The Help
Or Negro Spirituals.

Plus, his best friend is Uncle Tom-as.

[JustABozoOnThisBus]

13. I'd go for 60%,

because he also refrained from "Camptown Ladies"

[Warren Stupidity]

3. He ought to be impeached.

[lame54]

4. Did he point to his conjoined twin as proof?

[brush]

5. It's disgusting that this blatant racist is on the Supreme Court and making rulings

What's just as disgusting is that self-hating, uncle tom Clarence Thomas sides with this racist in every vote.

This is why we must vote for our dem nominee whoever it is.

Can't have repugs appointing other racists to SCOTUS.

[Orsino]

6. 60% racist, 350% classist. n/t

[Gidney N Cloyd]

7. Scalia trying to divert some heat from Trump.

I'm kind of curious who wrote the amicus.

[Paladin]

8. Put down that Hammas you're eating and comment on this, Ben Carson. (nt)

[KittyWampus]

9. Rachel Maddow nailed Scalia best when she called him a Troll...

he's that guy on the forum who says offensive stuff to get a reaction. Because he can.

[niyad]

10. so tell me, tony boy, how did YOU manage to get a degree in anything?

[hifiguy]

15. He's not dumb. Far from it.

When I was a pup fresh out of Harvard Law I worked at a firm where one of Scalia's classmates was a very senior partner. Said partner was an impeccably liberal Kennedy Democrat who had been on the Law Review and clerked for Felix Frankfurter back in the day. At a meeting one of the other grand poobahs asked him about a case he would be arguing before the Supremes in a few weeks and his old "buddy" Fat Tony.

The senior partner laughed quietly and said "Nino is a very smart man. But he's only about half as smart as he thinks he is." The Democrats in the room laughed. The Repigs didn't.

[niyad]

17. wonder what in the hell has happened to that brain since then?

[Doctor_J]

11. Maybe Clarence Thomas is the only black that Fat Tony knows

I can't believe Pelosi didn't start impeachment proceedings against both of them while she was speaker.

[hifiguy]

16. Knowing Uncle Ruckus doesn't count.

[Rex]

12. That is blatant racism on full display...can we impeach him yet?

Impeach? Cannot Congress do this? Not that it will ever happen, but it SHOULD happen since he obviously is unfit to rule over court cases.

[KamaAina]

14. Schools too advanced for them? Like Harvard?
