CALIFORNIA REPARATIONS: WHAT NEWSOM HAS SAID AHEAD OF TASK FORCE'S FINAL PROPOSAL"Let me pose this question to you, Justice Thomas, could your mother and father vote in this country? Because, had the 14th Amendment actually had us on equal footing, they would have been able to vote, and you know why that changed, because people got out and made it change," she continued."If we didn’t have to, no one would do it. Who wants to get hit by water from a water hose? Nobody.
She pointed out that,"At least Justice Roberts concludes and says, in this opinion, 'Nothing in this opinion should be construed as prohibiting' — as Alyssa mentioned — 'universities from considering an applicant’s discussion of how race affected his or other life, be it through discrimination, inspiration or otherwise. Race blind admissions are not required.'"
"I think the lived experience of a white kid in Appalachia or perhaps on a potato farm in Idaho is different in this country for a black student, whether that black student be wealthy or not, because this country was founded on slavery, and Justice Sotomayor said it, I think, very well. She said, 'We live in a society where race has always mattered and continues to matter,'" Hostin added.
She then wondered if the court would target taking away consideration for legacies, athletes, or disabled people, asking,"Why is this just about race?" Chief Justice John Roberts authored the majority opinion on behalf of the six-member conservative majority in the decision of reversing the effect of the landmark 1978 ruling in Regents of the University of California v. Bakke, which previously reinforced the legality of race-conscious university admissions.
