The front page of tomorrow's @dailytarheel – I shed many tears while typing up these heart-wrenching text messages sent and received by UNC students yesterday. Our campus was on lockdown for more than three hours. Beyond proud of this cover and the team behind it.

The argument that white folks are falling back on about how Roberts said race can still be mentioned in a college essay is annoying me for a number of reasons. Particularly: Why should a Black student have to WASTE SPACE explaining "how racism works" to a white admissions officer

8/8 One more point: back in 1978, Justice Marshall warned in Bakke that the diversity rationale was the wrong foundation upon which to ground affirmative action. He argued affirmative action should be the start of an an honest accounting of the legacy of slavery. He was right

As Bell noted in 2003, once affirmative action arguments moved away from a corrective action for racial equity and towards a cost-benefit analysis for diversity, the courts would eventually decide the perceived costs were too much...didn't even get the 25 years O'Conner promised.

My designer/O’s fan/Lefty/Baltimore resident worlds are colliding, I see. Not only are these uninspired and disappointing designs coming from a design powerhouse that has done way better, the entire promise of these jerseys let Baltimore’s enemies frame the terms of the debate.

A Republican state representative asked Rep. Justin Jones what he means by the chant “No Justice, No Peace.” His response is worth hearing in full:

I don’t think Baltimore will ever reach its full potential because, from an institutional level, it appears as if the goal is to cater to everyone BUT its majority Black population (which accounts for over 62%). How can you thrive on any level if you cut out most of the ppl here?

🗣️ Repeating this for the people in the back. @CoppinStateUniv will soon become the 2nd #HBCU to offer a PhD in Sociology. Howard is currently the only one.

Sometimes when people say "woke" they mean "liberals being self-righteous and vicious about trivial things" and sometimes they mean "integration," or "civil rights laws" or "black people on television" and it's convenient not to have to explain what you actually mean.

When you read the people you can't stand, it's easier to see how bogus their arguments are, or repetitive, or just how thin and boring they are. And you'll remember "Hey, if this offensive loser can do it, so can I!"
