Years from now, black students admitted to top schools will say Thank you Supreme Court for a decision that removes the perception the only reason I got in is due to my race. You re-established merit as the core criteria to be considered against a standard bar of excellence.

The $160K wealth gap in favor of whites over blacks when only race is considered is often used as “proof” of present oppression; but is reversed in favor of blacks when married, college educated black families are compared to white, single parent families aei.org/wp-content/upl…

It should be a criminal offense for think tanks, academics, policy orgs., etc. to release studies on racial "wealth gaps" without a single mention of marriage or family composition. I don't understand how "reputable" organizations and scholars get away with this.

After multiple years promoting @ibramxk and his so-called anti-racist ideology that actively encourages racial discrimination, the @nytimes has published an op-Ed entitled “Antiracism Was Never the Right Answer.” Such a profile in courage to now tell the truth, is no doubt

I frequently challenge the victimhood rhetoric that says the racial wealth gap “proves” there is nothing black people can do. But the response from @NewEmergingKing below is far more epic! x.com/JoeRivera85/st…

The road to excellence for the rising generation of black students really has to be paved by strong black parents like Kofi Montzka who reject the poisonous “oppressor/oppressed” narrative that victimizes children of all races #Agency @FreeBlckThought

The 1619 Project is a travesty of history & journalism that has humiliated the Times & undermined its status as “the newspaper of record.” No amount of self-serving flattery by dishonest editors can disguise the fact that the Project has been discredited.
