Over the last five or six decades Americans have been brainwashed into believing that Affirmative Action was a good thing. Well it was all a big lie! AA is actually a synonym for discrimination.
The Supreme Court of the U.S. (SCOTUS) has finally exposed the big lie. They struck down affirmative action programs at the University of North Carolina and Harvard University, ending the systematic consideration of race in the admissions process. They ruled that race cannot be a factor in the admissions process. The defendants had been using AA to discriminate against Asian and White students in favor of Black students with lesser qualifications.
AA has been used in the hiring processes of government and industry for the past fifty years. Jobs and promotions have routinely been given to Blacks over better qualified Asians and Whites. The result has been an erosion of leadership in the civil service, in the military and in industry.
America’s leadership position in the world has been eroded proportionately. The national debt is almost beyond measure, causing inflation and world fears about the strength of the dollar. Our military, at the behest of radical left politicians and “deep state” staffers, have stupidly adopted “WOKE” ideology. The result has been the steady decline in achieving recruitment goals. It is so bad that national security is at risk. They are actually using reserves to fill military positions in Europe and elsewhere around the world.
Some major corporations have stupidly adopted WOKE ideology as well, to their detriment. Disney, Budweiser and other major corporations have seen revenue plummet and stock value sink as a result. The common denominator seems to be creating a Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) division within their Human Resources departments. DEI is another synonym for AA.
AA is at the core of WOKE ideology. Now that the SCOTUS has ruled AA to be unconstitutional, maybe the government will follow the law for a change, and get rid of DEI programs en mass. Corporations are already doing it to stem their losses and regain their customers; and stock value.
This may be the beginning of a new and brighter future for America thanks to a courageous, ethical and honorable SCOTUS.
