In June 2023, the US Supreme court made a landmark decision effectively banning the use of affirmative action policies at the nation’s top colleges and universities.
Without Affirmative Action, Civil Rights would’ve been a write-off, schools wouldn’t be diverse at all and desegregation never would’ve happened. Sometimes people need to be forced to do the right thing because if people were naturally good then there would be no need for government in the first place. When California banned AA, black enrollment dropped considerably and it still hasn’t recovered to this day. If you think banning AA is a good thing then go put on your KKK hood, because you’re no different than them in my eyes as a black person.
You can’t just wait around for the good nature of people to help, because if that’s what you want then you’re going to be waiting for an eternity, we black folk know. We were pushed that line ever since the end of the Civil War, and it still didn’t happen until 100 years later when we made noise for people to wake up.
Does it really matter? Yes, it absolutely does.
