The US Military Academy at West Point is being sued for its race-based admissions policies by the same group that won a landmark case against Harvard University and the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in the Supreme Court over affirmative action earlier this year, according to a lawsuit filed Tuesday.

    If I click on your link am I going to see a whole mess of studies that proves that racism was fixed by reparations?

      No. You will see educational information that will teach you what you need to know to be an informed participant in discussions on the matter.

        So it has nothing to do with your claim. And now you know why I don’t click random links.

          Refusing to even look something that might challenge your worldview, or at least help you understand where someone else is coming from, is certainly a…choice.

          It explains the basics you need to know to understand my explanation. At this point you would not be capable because you do not have the educational foundation.

              I have no doubt. Nobody arguing in good faith refuses to look at evidence and then expects their ideas to be taken seriously.

                Doubt. Sorry your “college” didn’t give you better arguments.

                  I learned this myself, not in college. I think people need to take responsibility for educating themselves on topics with which they are ignorant.

                    Makes sense. I doubt your college had a course titled “how reparations are the only way to fix racism 101”.

                    Just curious: did you college ever teach you about expert shopping and confirmation bias?

      It will give you the basic 101 knowledge on systemic racism you seem to be missing.

        Yeah keep trying to make it about me as you move those goalposts further further away. Sorry “it” didn’t give you better arguments.

              Or maybe, juuuuuust maybe, I’m a completely different person (and the one who originally posted this article, of all ironies) who has been reading this entire exchange (see also: I’m the one who posted the article, so I get notifications of the comments) and think you are in the wrong.
