Why the Supreme Court is taking away affirmative action

It is undeniable that there is only one race, the human race. Every human life is sacred. As humans we respect that belief socially and lawfully. Despite this fact, there is a group of marginalized humans with characteristics differing from “white” that are under attack. Every. Single. Day. And we are letting it fucking happen.

The Supreme Court is racist and are white supremacists. Let me explain before you continue scrolling. They disguise themselves by creating this whitewashed façade of equality. If we believe the United States isn't intentionally systemically racist by the few exploiting the many, we are all doomed.

Martin Luther King, Jr. spoke about how racial equality cannot be achieved without radical structural change.

The United States was built on stolen land, attempted genocide of indigenous people and shackled slaves. The industrial revolution led to booming capitalism which made a few very rich, and the rest working paycheck to paycheck, wage slaves.

Capitalism has divided us into coworker vs coworker because we feel powerless to our bosses and their bosses exploiting us for our most valuable asset: time and hard work. While we fight each other over ideas about politics, the ruling class and lawmakers bribed by big corporations continue to take away our rights and exploit us for their own personal gain.

And we let it happen. It's popular that people don't think either party, Republican or Democrat, have the people in their best interests. Most Americans still hold the ideology to vote for the lesser evil. Either that or a large majority of Americans don’t vote. Even if every single individual voted, we cannot continue to choose the lesser of two evils. 

We don't make enough money. We don't have free or financially accessible healthcare. We can’t afford to pay rent. Most Americans would go bankrupt from a medical emergency. We don't get enough vacation time to enjoy life. Transgender people are losing rights, women are losing rights, black people are losing rights, people at the border who are just desperate for safety are being locked away for years. Climate change or global warming is getting harder to ignore and deny.

I think we are all too in despair and denial because we feel powerless and aren’t sure what we can do. The truth is there is so much we can do–and we hold all the power. The ruling class knows that, and they will continue to divide us to prevent us from taking back our power. As workers, we make all the wealth. If we stop working, the entire country stops.

In numbers, people win. And we have the majority; impoverished, people of color, trans, straight, gay, bi, lesbian, indigenous, WORKING people.

It's up to us. We have to discuss, learn, and plan to organize a massive social movement for radical change that reflects the marginalized and poor. We need to fight back in the streets collectively like never before. There is a reason the supreme court and lawmakers are taking away basic human rights in 2023-2024.

When George Floyd was murdered in 2020 for the world to see; people understood exactly what happened. People really saw true systemic racism. And people stood up. The entire world stood up. We are seeing the response from the Government because of that.

The term radical relates to getting to the root cause of a problem. Which neither party is aiming for despite their continuous promise to make things better for the people.

We have reached a point in human history that is critically important. We have to organize in solidarity with one another. The Supreme Court removed a radical structural change with the intention of creating more legal obstacles for black people to be oppressed which strengthens the status quo of white supremacy and systemic racism. It’s easier to pretend that the people with all the power will do the right thing. They never have, and they never will.
