Maybe it is time.

 

Past time, imho.

 

Protected classes only divide instead of uniting.

 

Dang it. Us Melungeons never had our time.

 

Good, never understood why college admissions wasn't handled blindly anyways.

 

Right, which is how affirmative action came about. Whites were a protected class for almost 200 years.

 

let my people go!

200 years completely wasted.

 

I think schools should make an effort to help out poorer students in the admissions process if possible

 

In this thread I learned that slavery, Jim Crow laws, and violent racism were all liberal lies.

 

fyp

never stop learning.

sorry, ip. i know you're gonna blister this post, but i couldn't resist

 

You may have a tumor or something.

 

Well, yeah, duh. States have always been free to NOT discriminate. How in the hell was this case 6-2? Sotomayor rounded up a second vote? Jesus tap-dancing Christ. That's just absurd. Great nomination, Barry O. You really can spot judicial talent.

 

Me too.

 

No, it is pretty clear folks here don't think white people had it a little easier and better than other people for most of our nation's history.

 

I think that's a fine idea, and as long as it's race-neutral then constitutionally speaking it's kool and the gang.

True, I just don't understand why we are sticking it to their grandchildren.

 

That is part of our nation's history, and because of that history we have the 14th amendment, which states, among other things: the State must treat whitey and darkey the same.

Was the 14th amendment a bad idea?

 

What the? If we're going to help in any biased way, what's wrong with race as the basis?
