White Privileged  “Sicced” Supreme Court On Affirmative  Action

John Johnson

A Supreme Court Unable to Rise Above Partisan Politics, Cast Aside Religion, Rebuff Temptations, Respect Society’s Changing Mores, and Reject the Founding Fathers’ Racism Is Neither Fit to Serve Nor Sit In Judgement of Anything!  John Johnson II 06/27/23

The history of the  belief of white privileged arrived on  the shores of this country with the arrival of the Pilgrims in New England on November 11, 1620.  It was then further  enshrined in the U.S. Constitution in 1776 when Thomas Jefferson penned “all men are created equal.”  Given the fact that Native Americans were labeled as savages and Black people had already been enslaved since 1619, Jefferson really meant that all white men, more so if they owned land, were created equal.

Centuries later, this belief has resonated throughout America that at birth  an affirmation of unalienable  privileges is bestowed upon all white people. For clarity,  Merriam-Webster defines “White Privileges as, “A set of social and economic advantages that white people have by virtue of their race.”

The Department of Justice, operating with “deliberate speed,” proceeded to arrest, try, and convict hundreds of insurrectionists. Both Reps, Clyburn and Gallego, criticized Attorney Garland for moving too slowly to bring charges against the insurrectionists.

Had the insurrectionists been Black, the steps of the Capitol Building would’ve been covered with dead bodies and indelible blood stains. Was this not an example of white privileges?

Far too many white people tend to deny that this society and even government affords them special privileges. Just maybe, a flashback of the white privileges afforded former President Trump starting with two impeachments overturned by the Senate and his forever delayed pending indictments will enlighten readers.

Without question, had Obama done any of the things Trump has done, he’d be jailed and awaiting trial. Plus, Obama wouldn’t have been the democrat’s unchallenged nominee for his second term. Privilege denied!

This  article is not an attempt to awaken or ask white people,  “what does it feel like being White and privileged?”   Strangely enough, the Miami Herald’s Sunday, June 25th, 2023, edition published an article entitled,  “What’s It Like to Be Black?” This comes across as though Blackness is some kind of disability.

Would a journalist ask a white person,   “how does it feel to be a white supremacist or a lesbian?”  This doesn’t sound like the kind of questions the “white privileged’ are asked.

The enduring protests by Black people against systemic racism and discrimination by the white privileged  throughout society forced a  reluctant  government  to intervene. On March 6, 1961, President John F. Kennedy issued Executive order 10925, which included a provision that government contractors “take affirmative action to end discrimination in employment. When L. B. Johnson was sworn in after Kennedy’s assassination,  he issued another Executive Order 11246, to  also prohibit discrimination.

Since 1961,  through, 2023, Affirmative Action policies have existed to end discrimination throughout the government, society, and especially within higher education. White enraged students are now filing reverse discrimination lawsuits against universities.

Consequently, the white privileged  has emerged and metaphorically “Sicced” the Supreme Court on “Affirmative Action.” They’re literally  saying it doesn’t matter that their “white privileges” began in 1620 and continues to this day. White privileges  for them are forever.

Will this Court’s super majority devour  Affirmative  Action like they ravaged Roe  v. Wade? Why would these Justices literally prostitute their integrity in exchange for gifts and luxury vacations? Their black robes must have deeply hidden pockets!

Are the justices caught involved in unethical practices unfit  to represent this Nation’s moral authority? Have they no shame? Is Congress not of men and women of integrity or merely of grazing sheep? Congress must enact legislation to reign in these unethical  and self-righteous Justices.

Currently, we’re awaiting the Supreme Court’s decisions on the following cases challenging the use of affirmative action: Students  for Fair Admission  v. Harvard College and Students for Fair Admission v. University of North Carolina.

As usual, the intent of the white privileged  is to use the Supreme Court to ensure that white supremacy continues to trample the rights of nonwhites and to prevent the pendulum from swinging towards a more perfect Union.

To be honest, this lofty phrase by James Madison, “towards a more perfect Union,” is as hollow as a Halloween pumpkin “Jack-O-Lantern. Since the Indigenous were labeled savages and Black people were enslaved, it’s obvious that he was only  inferring that the pendulum would swing towards a more perfect Union for the white privileged.

 

YOU BE THE JUDGE!
