Endorse This: Scalia Is Too Racist For Trump

“And now a Republican-appointed justice endorsing racist ideas from the Supreme Court bench”.

Lewis, also a civil rights activist, suggested Scalia should consider removing himself from the case, Fisher v. University of Texas.

“His suggestion that African-Americans would fare better at schools that are “less advanced” or on a “slow-track” remind me of the kind of prejudice that led to separate and unequal school systems – a policy the Supreme Court declared unconstitutional decades ago”, Lewis added.

“Most of the black scientists in this country don’t come from schools like the University of Texas”, he said, citing a brief, according to transcripts from the hearing. This general point has nothing to do with race; Scalia certainly did not suggest that non-blacks who fail to meet the normal admissions criteria would benefit from admission to the University of Texas or anywhere else.

During the court case last week, Justice Antonin Scalia questioned whether admitting black students to universities like the University of Texas benefitted them or the institution.

Bloomberg pointed out Scalia was likely referring to a brief by University of San Diego law professor Gail Heriot and Cleveland attorney Peter Kirsanow.

“He’s also got a very sharp mind and he has less patience with arguments that don’t quite come to grips with the tough issues”, Cassell said.

“Essentially Scalia is presenting mismatch as fact without acknowledging the disagreement amongst researchers”, Backes said, noting that he personally thinks there’s empirical support for the theory.

Their brief noted, “But various studies provide empirical evidence that the “mismatch” theory is nothing more than a myth”, they said in their court filing.

“Scalia’s terrific, but Clarence Thomas has been so consistent”, he said in Aiken, South Carolina.

Mr. Sharpton warned that if the court ruled against the university’s racial preferences, it would be the equivalent of educational genocide for black students at a time when they are already protesting what they see as pervasive racial injustices.

The Nevada senator said the idea that black students should be pushed out of top universities into lesser schools is “unacceptable”. There are the Jews, the Muslims, the migrants and immigrants, the blacks…White students get to be considered on the basis of their individual merit while African Americans are lumped into a group in which all of them are painted with the same brush. “This finding holds for all groups of students examined, including underrepresented minorities and students with weaker academic preparation”. Of course, some of the people who qualify based on their performance not only belong in the school, but come out ready for the world regardless of their skin color.
