But "affirmative action as a whole" is a meaningless statement. There is no law or policy called "affirmative action as a whole". The SPECIFIC thing that is being challenged in the court is race-based preferences, and race-based preferences do absolutely nothing to favor white women.
That doesn't make any sense. There is no federal funding given to colleges to practice affirmative action. Did the UC system get its funding slashed when it banned affirmative action back in 1995?
No, white people do not benefit from affirmative action race preferences in colleges, which is the ACTUAL policy he was talking about when you quoted him, and the ACTUAL policy that is being attacked by conservatives and banned by the Supreme Court.
You keep deflecting to a completely different, completely unrelated policy that isn't being challenged in the courts at all, but just happens to have a similar name.
What does this even mean? Some people of every race get rejected from every university. Harvard's overall acceptance rate is just 3%. Do you think they were ever going to accept every Black person that applied?
At Harvard, for example (which is the school that was being sued by conservatives), 15.7% of their freshman for the class of 2025 were Black. That's a higher % than in the US population. Without race-based affirmative action preferences, that number is going to go down, just like it went down in the UC system when California banned race-based AA in 1995, especially at UC Berkeley and UCLA. It's obvious that race-based affirmative action improves the chances that Black folk have to get into good colleges. So what exactly are you arguing about?

Because he admitted he was wrong and apologized
He's denounced his actions from years ago.
Cosby & Puffy haven't admitted guilt.
Havent apologized and haven't condemned their actions
Who's holding a 30 year grudge on a message board ?
Known, but not litigated & settled.
Cosby was just convicted a few years ago.
the Diddy lawsuit was like a month ago.
Dre & this woman settled before most of this board was even born
It was a big deal at the time and it was settle at the time.
If you're Black.
Plenty of White pieces of shyt all over Hollywood, the music industry, and sports that people just conveniently "forget about"
Hell, I even made a thread about that shyt that I forgot about until now
i'd feel within my right to murder him and gladly take the time
or at least beat him to an inch of his life with a crowbar
This is the wrong hill to die on. Dre is a talented piece of shyt. Nothing more nothing less. He beat on michell'le when she was pregnant with his kid. That's inexcusable.Because he admitted he was wrong and apologized

He paid her and she blew through that money.Even if he want to jail for that….he’d be out by now.
Like wtf do you want. You do not get a lifelong ‘you know you fukked up right‘ card. What is there to do at this point. We use phones made my Chinese cheap labor. We have our money in banks that financed the holocaust. What do you want to do?
And she was silent as fukk while blowing through it.
She really didn't mind spending the money her husband made working for Death Row.
He addressed it and apologized publicly in his own documentary.
The world is not about to cancel Dre.
She can forget it.
And sure, she can be mad as long as she wants, but ultimately who does that hurt?
He apologized and made The Chronic it’s cool
I mean he essentially tried to beat her to death then blackballed her, she isn't obligated to let it go, if she wants to bring it up whenever his name gets brought up she is within her rights

Nah, I was responding to dude that said the public just found out about those 2. Diddy ish been known since at least mid-90s, and Cosby and his "Spanish Fly" jokes and mentions go back to the 70s from the Boomers, and I definitely heard about it in the 80s.Because he admitted he was wrong and apologized
He's denounced his actions from years ago.

I actually work across the street from the courthouse where Cosby was tried both times. I used to go out there every day and see the news, supporters and crazy protesters during both trials. Plus Cosby was my high school's most famous alum, even though he didn't graduate, and grew up in a hood not far from mine. He's "just another ninja from Richard Allen...doin project ninja ish"
But still, if Dee Barnes wants to say "don't celebrate Dre, ef that dude for being a scumbag", then she has the right. She can go to the grave feeling that. And that goes for every single victim of abuse, and their families. No one can tell another person how or when to absolve their own abusers/victimizers for their actions, it doesn't matter when it was resolved or how it was resolved.
The problem is that people pick and chose, since it's never about the action, but instead who the action is committed by. All of the white pieces of ish in the industry that you mention, plenty have their victims speaking out against them. No one cares. People have been speaking out against Harvey for years, and numerous other execs and other actors. Status matters and it still doesn't absolve them of their transgressions.
