    People are judged based on their skin tone and that’s the way the left wants it. If certain people as a whole can’t do something then the left’s response is to make it easier for them to do it. The left really doesn’t think very highly of some folks.

    ……………
    I know — it reads like a satirical headline from The Babylon Bee, right?

    The American Bar Association (ABA), the national voice of the legal profession, which prides itself on “serving the public and the profession by promoting justice, professional excellence, and respect for the law,” will no longer require the administering of the Law School Admissions Test (LSAT) for law school applications, as reported by the Wall Street Journal. I can solve this oxymoronic problem in six words:

    The soft bigotry of low expectations.

    According to the WSJ, the ABA’s accrediting council, comprised of lawyers, law professors, and administrators voted 15-1 to drop the requirement that law school applicants take — and pass — the LSAT or any other “valid and reliable admission test,” amid a debate about whether the tests — wait for it — help or hurt diversity in admissions.

    Women live longer than men, in the end they get it all. Has anyone addressed the inequity of the life spans between men and women?

    From the article in your link…
    Seven months ago, a House committee advanced a bill to study reparations for slavery, after more than three decades of efforts to build support for the idea.

    But the bill has not been taken up for consideration by the full House of Representatives even though it has the backing of some of the country's most prominent Democrats.

    "Since April there has been very little movement on the bill by the leadership in Congress," said Kamm Howard, a national co-chair of the National Coalition of Blacks for Reparations in America.


    Moral of the story…three decades of efforts and still no bill being taken up for consideration. Obviously going nowhere fast. That’s a good thing.

    " Even though it has the backing of some of the country's most prominent Democrats "...... Is the important part.

    Pixie claimed that no Democrat ever stood behind that idea or supported it.

    “Some” being the key word. “Some” means jack schitt. That is the actual important part.

    The interesting thing about this is people try to pretend this is about slavery. And the reason why it's not really going to work is because there are white people that are alive today that are descendants from slaves and black people that are alive today that are descendants of slave owners so it will be sometimes black people giving white people money.

    It's almost like racism is a stupid endeavor.
