The fact that people are celebrating this is astounding

First of all black people were not the only slaves in the United States, and not all black people were slaves. Second of all, I'm what you would call white but at the same time slavery was happening in the United States, my ancestors were living through a very brutal Ottoman regime in the Balkans. Black people WISH they were that oppressed. But I'm not getting any sort of preferential treatment for that, and I think I would be extremely crazy to ask for it. No one bats an eye when black people demand preferential treatment though. I guess Western liberals just love putting black people on a pedestal

And people have to realize this whole meritocracy thing is a white version of affirmative action. It assumed that all races have had the same economic and educational opportunities growing up so their grades are a full reflection of who they are. That's not true. Whites are much more likely to better opportunities and therefore would be more likely to get into their schools if it's based on grades only. It's not equal for all people, especially latinos and blacks

Hun lets get something straight. It is not your spot until Georgetown sends you an acceptance letter. So this entitlement thing you got going, you can end that right here. With an attitude like this you don't even deserve to be accepted. Also it's stupid to get mad at the descendants of slaves taking your non-existent spot but you're not mad at the legacies, the athletes, the child of high profile people, etc...who could also possibly take your non-existent spot.

I would suggest you do some research on just how subhumanly my people were oppressed for centuries in their own homeland as well in their diaspora across the globe (and still are.)

It's terrible that your people have suffered and I empathize with you, but do not try to minimize our struggle.

Your profile says you live in CANADA, which is much more social justice-minded than America. You must be pissed off and pressed 24/7 then. Seethe, I guess.
