A Supreme Court Ruling That Warms My Little Racist Heart

[Exsubmariner]

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.

It's funny you mention this research. There is more research which has been done recently suggests that you can't force people to get along by forcing them into close proximity. Sorry if the previous link didn't work, click on the link in this article. (The word Discovers.)

From the Abstract of the above linked scholarly article by a noted Harvard Sociologist:

[ QUOTE ]
In the short run, however, immigration and ethnic
diversity tend to reduce social solidarity and social capital. New evidence from the US suggests
that in ethnically diverse neighbourhoods residents of all races tend to ‘hunker down’. Trust
(even of one’s own race) is lower, altruism and community cooperation rarer, friends fewer.

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)

[Exsubmariner]

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

My opinion of the Roberts court so far is mixed, but I think they got it exactly right this time. Brown vs. The Board of Education was a great ruling, but the Warren Court screwed up later when they bought into the idea that all schools had to have the same proportion of races as the general population, even if the "segregation" was a result of where people lived, rather than a legally mandated segregation policy. I sincerely hope that the Roberts doctrine (if I may call it that) will be applied to affirmative action as well as school desegregation.

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.
