Michelle Obama’s ‘Heart Breaks’ for Students Who Will Never Have the Chance to be Judged on Race, Not Merit
Barack and Michelle Obama bemoaned the Supreme Court’s decision to end systemic racism in Students for Fair Admissions v Harvard.
The decision, which effectively ends legal affirmative action in universities for discriminating against Asian and white students, and violating the fundamental principles and laws of the United States of America, was not taken well by the Netflix power couple who took to Twitter to express their longing for systemic racism.
Obama tweeted, “Affirmative action was never a complete answer in the drive towards a more just society. But for generations of students who had been systematically excluded from most of America’s key institutions—it gave us the chance to show we more than deserved a seat at the table.”
That’s exactly the opposite of what affirmative action showed. And that’s a point that Justice Clarence Thomas made.
Affirmative action was premised on the idea that black students didn’t deserve a seat at the table and wouldn’t be there unless they had that seat given to them.
“My heart breaks for any young person out there who’s wondering what their future holds– and what kind of chances will be open to them,” Michelle Obama tweeted.
It is heartbreaking to think of all the students who will never have the chance to be judged on race, but will have to be judged on merit, who will never experience what it is like to be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.
