cause for celebration for the vast majority of th americans who agree with the supreme court, who wrote, racialeliminatinge discrimination means eliminating all of it. it cannot mean one thing when applied to one individual and something else when applied to a person of another color. an abc ipsosething poll revealt 52% of americans agree with the decision to race based admissions. but sadly, this did not go over well with many democrats. new york congressman jamaal bowman said the court is illegitimate and that they re there to serve white supremacy and white patriarchy . the supreme court is here to serve oligarchs. oligar they re here to serve billionaires. they re here to servchey re her. they re here to serve white supremacy and white patriarchyr and nativism. they want to take away our civil rights. they want to take away our voting rights, our human s rights. , huma they want to make our country more dangerous by expanding concealen men s ri wand carry p they don t
