A Supreme Court Ruling That Warms My Little Racist Heart
 
Court Rejects Schools Racist "Diversity" Agenda

Since there isn't a thread on this, there should be.

He was not quoted, but Roberts reportedly said in his opinion that "The best way to stop discrimination based on skin color is to stop discriminating based on skin color."

I'm all giddy. As a part Jewish, part Black, and part White dude, I'm happy to see that society is beginning to accept the premise that racism goes all ways.

BTW, the case involved the bussing of white students into a predominately black school. So, the people being discrimanted against in this case were the white kids, who would be bussed away from better schools. I have no doubt that the door is now open to fight the debilitating effects of affirmative action in the public sector based on this precedent.

Edit: Here is another, better article with the exact quote above.

I am beginning to love the Roberts court. Critics of this ruling have said that this overturns Brown vs Board of Ed., yet Brown vs Board of Ed. ruled that you cannot send people to a school based on their race; exactaly what this decision held.

Brown was a bad decision anyway.

No, it doesn't. Have you even read Brown? --- (it's really one of the more readable SCT decisions --- one of the primary audience was non-lawyers unlike most opinions of the court)

Translation: I don't know anything about the law or the Supreme Court but I hear they're keeping some black folks down so it's okay by me.

As a full-blooded, red-blooded Irish-American, I hope the court will someday address the discrimination I have encountered all of my adult life from people presuming I am some kind of a drunk (just because I happen to like a beer or two with dinner or poker). Heck they don't even give my raises any respect at all. It can be really frustrating sometimes, if you know what I mean.

edit: make that lunch, dinner or poker. Well, home from the casino, and at least I had a winning (although very frustrating) session. Ah well, time for bed.

Translation: I can't win the arguement so I'm going to call the other guy a racist.

To be more specific, Brown said you can't send a person to a separate school because of their race.
