Affirmative action was never about admitting unqualified Black kids. It was always about ensuring qualified Black kids could also get accepted despite a world of systemic racism.
The “unqualified admission” you’re thinking of are legacy students—like how Kavanaugh got into Yale, or how George W. got into yale, or how Kushner got into Harvard.
Every GOP accusation is a confession, and this is no exception.
"I feel the need to explain something to the generation that does not remember, or never saw, a world where one person with a high school education could support a family of 5 comfortably.
"This was real. For millions of US families. It was *normal.*
"It was stolen from you."
I feel like I'm constantly "we shouldn't have to live like this" about several different topics. Being afraid of being shot grocery shopping. Endless financial squeezing. Religious zealots trying to ban joy from the world.
Tell me, what's your "We shouldn't have to live like this" topic? And do you see hope coming from any direction about it?
I want to write more here. But it seems like when I sit down to say something, so many thoughts flood that I can't get any of them out.
WTF is wrong with this country? It's like the Allegory of the Cave.
Ugh.

Jimmy Carter will soon leave us. He is what faith is supposed to look like.
While I usually look upon religion as a giant con, I can look at how Carter lived his Christian faith every moment of every day. It is men like him that allow me to see religion for the oppression that it creates, while still admiring those who truly find guidance to be bettter people within their places of worship.
As Jimmy Carter journeys from this world to the next, may his life be a reminder of what humans can be.
