*The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld a Michigan law banning the use of racial criteria in college admissions, a key decision in an unfolding legal and political battle nationally over affirmative action.
The justices found 6-2 that a lower court did not have the authority to set aside the measure approved in a 2006 referendum supported by 58% of voters. It bars publicly funded colleges from granting “preferential treatment to any individual or group on the basis of race, sex, color, ethnicity or national origin.”* The Young Turks host Cenk Uygur breaks it down.

Cenk, you are a racist. This could have been a great story about how socially progressive the education system is getting by not allowing race to be a factor. Colleges should only decide on your merits for admission and economic background for scholarships. You decided to take this story and somehow us “white folks” are scared by Asians getting into college. Since you decided to speak for the all white people I’ll answer your question of “how do you like them apples?” I like em just fine, this is what “we” (white people) wanted, for people to be judged not by the color of their skin instead by their merits. In the past in America people of European descent were racist, however that doesn’t mean that all white people still are. It’s inherently racist to assume that all or many whites are racist. Oh btw, you named your show after “The Young Turks” the same group that massacred or as they called it “cleansed” 1.5 million Armenians.
