US Supreme Court poised to ban affirmative action in university admissions
The US Supreme Court will hear oral arguments next week in two cases that could change the landscape of higher education in the country. The eventual outcomes will determine whether Harvard University in Cambridge, Massachusetts, and the University of North Carolina (UNC) at Chapel Hill are allowed to use race as a factor in deciding which students they admit. But beyond that, the court’s decisions could mean that academic institutions across the United States will no longer be allowed to use ‘affirmative action’ policies to shape their student bodies.
Research has shown that without affirmative action, some universities — particularly top-tier institutions that enrol only a small fraction of applicants — will struggle to admit students from a wide variety of backgrounds.

US Supreme Court poised to ban affirmative action in university admissions

No matter how long it lives, the Greatest Lion will eventually die miserably. That's the world.
At their Peak, they rule, chase other animals, catch, devour, gulp and leave their crumbs for hyenas. But age comes fast.
The old Lion can't hunt, can't kill or defend itself. It roams and roars until it runs out of luck. It will be cornered by the hyenas, nibbled at and eaten alive by them. They won't even let it die before it is dismembered.
Life is short. Power is ephemeral. Physical beauty is short-lived, I have seen it in lions. I have seen it in old people. Everyone who lives long enough will become weak and very vulnerable at some point.
Therefore, let us be humble. Help the sick, the weak, the vulnerable and most importantly never forget that we will leave the stage one day.

But they stridently oppose any similar move for Whites to do that as well because they do not want Whites to see themselves as a group, at bottom they do not want White to have a racial identity.”

I believe that it's not necessary to use the term "White" as it has been imposed on us and is seen as the root of the issue that needs to be eliminated.
Instead, we should identify ourselves as Europeans and take pride in our heritage across the globe. Let's celebrate our European identity worldwide!
