Beginning with affirmative action, the Supreme Court legalized discrimination provided there was a “compelling state interest.” This thinking was wrong-headed from its beginning, since it flies in the face of the equal protection of la w clause of our 14th Amendment. DEI is just another example of legalized discrimination in as much as it benefits one class at the expense of another. Merit is discounted in favor of skin hue. Discrimination is not cured by more discrimination.
Historian Victor Davis Hanson has certainly distinguished himself as a political journalist. As I held in a previous post, VDH is among the clearest thinkers in today’s political environment. Here’s an outstanding analysis of the failures occurring that Hanson attributes to DEI.
You reveal SO MUCH without realizing it. So dimwitted.
No bud, BEGINNING with the Constitution through the 3/5 compromise discrimination was legalized through chattel slavery. It was carried out through several decisions including the 1857 Dred Scott v Sanford decision where the court expanded and nationalized slavery’s protection.
No need to read the rest of your bullshit. What a dumbass
Wrong, Warden. My preface was devoted to the topic of minority preference, not slavery. And, reading the “rest of the bullshit” might well be an edifying experience.
Funny how you call it “preference” when it helps the minority, but when the system is tilted toward the majority for centuries, you call it normal. Only a person desperate to erase basic history would pretend discrimination began with affirmative action.
