Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
That's all the rules!

Tbf to op, the page source makes reference to the title being exactly what op posted. I blame the site for doing ninja edits after they submit. Out a title geared to generate clickbait, it gets grabbed by Google and whatnot and fed around through bs algorithms, they change the title and 'np ones the wiser '
Did this quick before battery dies...I need to find the outlet bad..
And he was never heard from again.
(But, seriously, props for doing the work to verify.)
The department alleges these schools are violating the 1964 Civil Rights Act because the Ph.D. Project limits eligibility based on race, and therefore engages in "race-exclusionary practices."
Race is a pseudo-scientific concoction. So any attempt to codify race into law is inherently racist. The state will never defeat racism with racism. That's why we're seeing this bullshit about the "white race" being persecuted.
The only way to defeat racism is to acknowledge what it is - a violent and pseudo-scientific system of privilege based on skin tone - and to actively dismantle it.
The state is doing the complete opposite. That's what it was designed to do. It was literally invented by slave masters using "race science" from the 1700s. Racism will never be abolished without abolishing the privilege on whiteness. It's the same thing.
