The point is that your take on the SCOTUS case was addressing the wrong argument.

I didn’t say education was a right. I said unequal access to education contributes to inequality.

I guess that’s a “no” for factual disagreements. If you’re going to disagree, you should address the content of my posts, not this straw man you’ve concocted in your head.

In what may be a world record for sentence structure, I just read one sentence that included a double negative and a triple negative!

Hilarious.

You're a perfect example of why I say to NEVER allow a Leftist, (especially a racist, SJW, Leftist) to frame the argument.

A Leftist's basis in argument is as fickle as a teenage girl's moods and just as prone to hyperbole and hysteria.

By the way "straw man" is highly offensive. It's a "person of vegetation"

Proper English grammar and spelling be racist.

... still a “no,” then?

You still haven’t said anything of substance—all you’ve managed to do is attempt to insult me by assigning labels to me that don’t apply. It’s boring. Don’t you have anything else?

Swing... and another miss.

...Your thoughts on these conversations that transpired here...

If there isnt enough time to listen to a long vid with muliple interviewees, check out just one point, check out the point at 8:45, it only runs a few minutes.

The second interview is a much more engaging conversation.

Brings to my mind these questions.
Does something become racist or not racist depending on your point of view?
Does that mean if you could look at it objectively, that is no longer true?
Are we just justifying things regardless and against our own principles we actually believe are true and that evidence proves? Why?

At 29:45, a good point I think.

At the 39:35 min mark, handouts could be deceiving.

The Social Justice "menu" has other options. Social Justice is not limited to Affirmative Action and there can be more Social Justice without resorting to Affirmative Action.

Parts of the newly signed American Rescue Act ($1.9 trillion Covid relief legislation) are about creating more Social Justice. The results have yet to be measured and so the pragmatism or practicalities of the legislation (or some of the legislation) are still open to question, but at least that's the intent.

I've long been intrigued by the "21st century Homestead Act" which is only a proposal or research paper, but that would be an attempt to increase Social Justice without resorting to Affirmative Action kinds of policies in terms of workforce recruiting, hiring and promotions.

Affirmative Action is just reparations. Yes it's racist, it's supposed to be.

So you agree Affirmative action is racist and wrong, and thusly that other tactics which act on the sameprinciples as Affirmative action are also?

No. I'm too "cagey" of a "politician" to actually agree to that.

I move in such small circles in my life that I never think about Affirmative Action unless it becomes a top news story.

I wonder how big of a deal it actually is, in terms of actual numbers of people that are directly advantaged or disadvantaged because of Affirmative Action.
