Another Affirmative Action Case for the Supreme Court?
The U.S. Supreme Court is already considering the highly charged Fisher v. University of Texas case, a challenge to the school's use of race as a consideration in its admissions process, and now it's taking on another affirmative action case: Schuette v. Coalition to Defend Affirmative Action, the New York Times reports. The case concerns a ballot measure in Michigan that eliminated race-based admissions in public universities. The measure passed but was overturned in November by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 6th Circuit.
This isn't the first time the Supreme Court has heard a Michigan-based affirmative action case. Ten years ago, in the landmark Grutter v. Bollinger case, the Supreme Court upheld the affirmative action policies at the University of Michigan Law School.
2013 is the year of controversial social issues for the Supreme Court. Justices are now hearing arguments in a case that will decide the fate of marriage equality across the U.S.

affirmative action is vital for diversityKeep affirmative alive. (but only for Black people)
Can't be having these ? ass honkeys white folk trying to abuse the system. -
Never really cared for affirmative action, desegregation or none of that. All that causes is white admiration and dependency.

White women benefit more from Affirmative Action than anyone but its considered a "black" issue. Smh

This white chick would disagree with you..........
"There were people in my class with lower grades who weren't in all the activities I was in, who were being accepted into UT, and the only other difference between us was the color of our skin," she says. "I was taught from the time I was a little girl that any kind of discrimination was wrong. And for an institution of higher learning to act this way makes no sense to me. What kind of example does it set for others?"

"According to the United States Labor Department, the primary beneficiaries of affirmative action are white women. The Department of Labor estimated that 6 million women workers are in higher occupational classifications today than they would have been without affirmative action policies."

The question is:
"If there were no laws to force whites to hire blacks who would otherwise have been hired had it not been for thier skin color...WOULD WHITES HIRE THEM?"
The facts say no. THus we need affrimative action. Solely because whites can not be trusted.
The problem is its the Justices job to make decisions based on LAW. And since we're all equal under the LAW (not really but supposedly) they have always ruled against it.
Liberal (or as I call them - RATIONAL) Justices have generally ruled in a commonsensical way (i.e. "Ill make my decision based on how a changing and evolving world/society)
Republican judges generally just rule against minorities period. And have a hard time understanding that the Constitution was written by whites, for whites, so laws hve to be interpreted in a way that includes (or in cases forces the inclusion) of minorities.
Whites argue that if they get straight A's why should a black student get into college because he's black if he got all As but 1 B? My answer is because there is a black man who got straight As in high school & college but when he gets to the work force your 3.4 GPA is going to beat him out because you're white and he's not. So stop whining and go ? yourself. -

Affirmative action is necessary to prevent discrimination and to address stereotypical thinking and biases that still impede employment opportunity.

"Win"? ? there's nothing in this ? for me. Its facts, you need to have the facts about some ? if you trying to have a conversation about it.
I don't even agree that it needs to be eliminated, but its not a black friendly program...it benefits white women mostly...as proven by your graph that shows black unemployment is still the highest and much higher than it should be.
This Affirmative Action ? is just like welfare, its passed off as unfairly helping black people and it isn't.
And the report is called the Glass Celings Commission fyi, released in 1996. -
AA is needed for justice, not diversity.

The Federal Glass Ceiling Commission suggest that the underlying cause of the glass ceiling is the perception of many white males that as a group they are losing control of their advancement opportunities.

You also have to understand Affirmative Action has been expanded to include the disabled and veterans. This ? isn't some cure to black ills, its a political football...at worst its merely lip service.
Chances are when you apply for a job you don't know the qualifications of anyone else who applied. Businesses also don't have to choose the highest score (if tests are taking place) or the second highest score, in fact they pick who the hell they want, how you gonna know?
Crackas are naturally gonna complain that they got looked over for an "affirmative action" hire. They have a superiority complex and are totally ignorant about how this ? even works. -

affirmative action is vital for diversity
Professor Ira Katznelson wrote When Affirmative Action Was White to document how 20th-century social programs (Social Security, the GI Bill, Great Society) benefited mostly white people and were purposefully subverted to be that way by Southern legislators under the old rubric of “states rights,” which is often the last refuge of bigots.

You're right & wrong.
Affirmative Action wasnt designed to help ALL black people. It was designed to help the many blacks who are more than qualified but have not been given the opportunity because of their race.
Its never really been a matter of "you're a ? so you cant go to school here" it's always been a matter of "if you're from this district or this zip code you go to this school...but if you're from here you go to that school"
From an early age black kids are set up to fail. The ones who over come their community's shortcomings (violence, poverty, etc) should be afforded the chance of an education. Because a black kid from Chicago with a 3.7 GPA had a way tougher time getting that score than a white kid from Santa Monica with a 4.0. Just the facts.
Whites argue that "it's not the white kids fault he was born in a privileged society." But of course they forget that it wasnt the black kids fault he/she was not. -
affirmative action is must needed(black people).white people will feel they can do or say anything to blacks without punishment if they rid of it.too many black people died and marched for white people to want take this away.
