Supreme Court Ends Systemic Racism by Striking Down 'Affirmative Action'

The U.S. Supreme Court... essentially axed affirmative action, and now, they've decreed that bakeries and other U.S. companies and workers do not have to bow down to the demands of the LGBTQ+ community when it conflicts with their religious beliefs. In other words, no, you don't have to bake their damn cake. Many know the story of Colorado Christian baker Jack Philips, who has faced harassment and abuse from radical extremists within the LGBTQ+ community. For years, these ruthless scumbags have tried to force this good, Christian man to abandon his beliefs in order to bake cakes for their twisted lifestyles...

... over the years “diversity” has metastasized throughout the body politic, from school curricula to entertainment–– and has even reached corporate board rooms in the guise of “ESG,” environmental, social, and corporate governance guidelines for investment. This expansion has hollowed out the principle of individual merit, and eroded the notion of individual rights and the virtues of independence and self-reliance. That’s what happens when one branch of the government, the one most unaccountable to the people, enshrines in law a politicized, incoherent idea...

So two cheers for the Supreme Court for finally ending such a blatant contradiction of the Constitution and the Civil Rights Act, not to mention our foundational principles such as equality under the law, and the unalienable rights of individuals. But it’s going to take a lot more lawsuits adjudicated in the Supreme Court to stop universities from violating those principles.

As [Justice Clarence] Thomas, a black man who grew up dirt-poor in the Jim Crow South, concluded in his SFFA concurrence: "While I am painfully aware of the social and economic ravages which have befallen my race and all who suffer discrimination, I hold out enduring hope that this country will live up to its principles so clearly enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States: that all men are created equal, are equal citizens, and must be treated equally before the law."...

In reading Dr. Merriam’s examples of the unique horror today’s jurists express at the thought of racial discrimination, it occurs to me that they have lost sight of the original rationale for banning it. That rationale was that differences in racial outcomes were caused by discrimination. This ignores the powerful evidence that such differences are substantially the result of different evolutionary histories. Once these histories are understood, the entire case for antidiscrimination law collapses. Today, however, most Americans seem to think that racial discrimination is an intrinsic moral enormity – and see no reason to ask themselves why. Such is the effect of mass conditioning.
