Supreme Court’s Reversal on Affirmative Action Will Profoundly Impact Minorities

Posted on June 30, 2023 by admin

INTERVIEW ON THE PRICE OF BUSINESS SHOW, MEDIA PARTNER OF THIS SITE.

Recently Kevin Price, Host of the nationally syndicated Price of Business Show, interviewed filmmaker Warren D. Robinson (image below).

Price and Robinson discussed the Supreme Court’s reversal of long standing Affirmative Action policy and the profoundly negative impact it will likely have on minorities.

In a landmark ruling on Thursday, the Supreme Court rendered a verdict that brought significant changes to college admissions policies. The court’s decision, made by a conservative majority, abolished affirmative action, asserting that race should no longer be a determining factor in the admissions process. Consequently, institutions of higher education, including prestigious establishments like Harvard and the University of North Carolina, were compelled to explore alternative methods of fostering diversity among their student bodies.

The court’s ruling was reminiscent of a pivotal judgment made the previous year that overturned the historic Roe v. Wade case concerning abortion rights. Both rulings marked significant victories for conservative legal pursuits. This time, the court determined that race-conscious admissions strategies violated both the Constitution and a federal law applicable to colleges that receive government funding, which encompassed the majority of educational institutions.

As a consequence of this ruling, universities, particularly those of high standing that typically consider applicants’ racial backgrounds, were required to revamp their admissions practices. Chief Justice John Roberts expressed the view that universities had erroneously prioritized an individual’s racial identity over their personal achievements, acquired skills, and valuable lessons learned. According to him, such a choice was incompatible with the nation’s constitutional history.

Responding to the court’s decision, President Joe Biden expressed strong disagreement and called upon colleges to pursue alternative avenues for achieving diversity, rather than allowing the ruling to dictate the final outcome.

Beyond the ideological split between conservatives and liberals, the affirmative action debate highlighted a profound divide among the three justices of color. Each of them, in separate writings, provided vivid perspectives on race in America and expressed concerns regarding the potential ramifications of the court’s decision.

Justice Clarence Thomas, the nation’s second African American justice, had long advocated for an end to affirmative action. In his opinion, he portrayed the universities’ admissions policies as aimless and premised on race-based preferences, intended to manipulate the racial composition of incoming classes.

Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson and Thomas both criticized each other harshly in their in harsh opinions.

Justice Sonia Sotomayor, the court’s first Latina justice, expressed dissent, arguing that the ruling undid decades of legal precedents and substantial progress made in this domain.

 

According to a statement, “Entertainment executive and producer, Warren D. Robinson believes that when organizations are willing to have open and honest conversations about race and their own bias they can commit to meaningful change. We have seen this recently in the form of Hollywood award shows, particularly, the Grammys and the Academy Awards (Oscars). The Recording Academy and the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences have both taken concrete steps to diversify their ranks and address inherit biases in their voting processes. As a result we have the most diverse crop of award winners/nominees, respectively, we’ve ever seen. Contrast that with the scandal and production shutdown currently at CBS’s The Talk, which resulted because a co-host was unable to properly engage in a conversation about race, address her own bias and commit to doing better. ‘The key part to every conversation’ Warren says, ‘starts with listening. Listening and hearing are different and if you are unable to listen then you are unable to have a conversation.’

 

“Warren D. Robinson, is an avid and accomplished entertainment executive, motivational speaker, host, life coach and award winning producer who created the wildly popular series, Buried by the Bernards, which is currently streaming on Netflix.

 

“Warren has served as an entertainment consultant, manager and producer, facilitating, appearing and negotiating high powered deals on behalf of his clients in front of such companies as: Warner Brothers, BET, CNN, Freemantle, Best Buy, TV ONE, Netflix, Lifetime, Fox News, WE TV, E!, NBC Universal, Viacom and more. In addition, Warren’s entertainment prowess includes coordinating, partnering and/or producing events for: legendary actress Pam Grier, Taraji P Henson, Gabrielle Union, Vivica A Fox, Soul singer Eddie Levert (of the O’Jays), Comedian Mike Epps, Angie Stone, Flavor Flav, the Indianapolis Colts, Donna Joyner-Richardson, Stephanie Mills, Erykah Badu and Tom Joyner among others. Warren graduated from Indiana University (B.A.-Political Science) and Howard University School Of Law (J.D.).”
