I previously wrote that WOKE is by no means establishing EQUALITY – it is creating racism which is unconstitutional. This entire agenda is total nonsense. Gays are now being discriminated against as part of this propaganda movement behind Transgenderism. When companies make targeted racial composition goals for their employees, they have to engage in discrimination to achieve those goals. That is discrimination not to hire a white person who is more qualified because, like the White House, which wants a black girl – not even a black man as its spokesperson to appear WOKE.
Biden promised to appoint a black woman to the Supreme Court regardless of her qualification. Even if a black man would be better, it did not matter – do not apply. I watched the prosecutions in New York with amazement. They would put a black kid on trial, and he would magically get a black judge and a nearly full black jury where they would select the older blacks who were prejudiced against the young blacks shooting up the neighborhood. The judge would hand out a harsh sentence for these young blacks he would view as ruining his reputation.
There was a Chinese slave ship that ran aground on Long Island. The Chinese defendant magically got the only Chinese Judge Chin. I saw a Jewish guy get the maximum sentence because the judge was Jewish and he even said that he had disgraced his school that the judge also went to.
This nonsense that appointing a black woman would somehow rule in favor of blacks is such propaganda it is amazing. One lawyer accused a prosecutor of selecting a racially charged jury and the prosecutor then said he would make sure that lawyer was stripped of his license to practice in NY city.
The Supreme Court on Thursday ruled that race-conscious admission policies of Harvard College and the University of North Carolina violate the Constitution, bringing an end to affirmative action in higher education in a decision that will reverberate across campuses nationwide and corporate boardrooms. This is a wake-up call that WOKE is flat outright racial and unconstitutional. People who work hard and graduate at the top of their class find this insufficient. They will not be hired if they do not fit a racial quota for the company’s WOKE score. I am getting a lot of emails about this taking place already. This decision today will establish a critical precedent and unleash lawsuits against these WOKE companies who are engaging in racism to file some arbitrary score.
The court ruled 6-3 along ideological lines in the University of North Carolina case and 6-2 in the Harvard dispute. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson recused herself. Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion, joined by Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, Neil Gorsuch, Brett Kavanaugh, and Amy Coney Barrett. Thomas read a concurring opinion from the bench. Justice Sonia Sotomayor also read her dissent aloud, the first time a dissenting justice has done so this term.
“The Harvard and UNC admissions programs cannot be reconciled with the guarantees of the Equal Protection Clause.” Satomayor’s dissent argued:
The Court concludes that Harvard’s and UNC’s policies are unconstitutional because they serve objectives that are insufficiently measurable, employ racial categories that are imprecise and overbroad, rely on racial stereotypes and disadvantage nonminority groups, and do not have an end point.
