If SCOTUS was serious about their ludicrous “colorblindness” claims, they would have abolished legacy admissions, aka affirmative action for the privileged.
70% of Harvard’s legacy applicants are white. SCOTUS didn’t touch that - which would have impacted them and their patrons.

The George Floyd generation reads a Supreme Court opinion where older White men
race-plain America as “color-blind.” Youth see the difference between colorblind & turning a blind eye to racism’s history. The opinion is legally and generationally illegitimate. #affirmativeaction

Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.
In the wake of the Supreme Court’s recent decision, it’s time to redouble our efforts.

I wanted to share some of my thoughts on today's Supreme Court decision on affirmative action:

An elite, white majority determining after just 50 years of weak, half-hearted
affirmative action efforts, that they are the ones to decide that enough has been done to address centuries of explicit racial exclusion against Black people is the most American ruling ever.

In banning affirmative action, the Supreme Court has *not* banned using race in college admissions. "Race neutral" is a legal fantasy, the latest to conserve racism. As Uma Jayakumar and I write @TheAtlantic, “race neutral” is the new “separate but equal.”

As the Supreme Court's majority opinion makes so clear, we, as a society, must understand that colorblind rhetoric will do nothing to solve color-bound problems. Now more than ever, we need our leaders to have the courage to confront our history and our challenges head-on.

Today's decisions from the Supreme Court on Affirmative Action represent a significant setback for Civil Rights in the U.S. and are a cornerstone of the conservative movement's coordinated effort to roll back access to opportunity for systemically marginalized Americans.

Some lovely friends saved me a spot on the bench outside the House antechamber, so seat 31 is back to its original home-away-from-home.
Also thank you to the folks who brought me the earrings and corsage. I am carrying your kindness with me today.

@maymorninn Here for you forever & forever. You are doing AMAZING work. And, it won't be easy to sustain relational/non-hierarchical relationships AND go into teaching as it is currently, so we MUST keep talking & keep supporting one another. It can be done; it's just not simple.
