Justice Scalia Suggests Blacks Belong at "Slower" Colleges .........(Yes, he really said that.)

16. I disagree with Scalia's textualist approach to the Constitution,

and I don't think he applies it evenly when it doesn't get him to the result he wants. That said, as fun as it is to get all fired up and mad, I don't think misrepresenting what he said gets us anywhere. That is just the same misleading and unfair tactic that the RW uses all the time.

Scalia obviously did not mean that AAs are less intelligent and belong at "slower-track" schools. What he meant, and I think everyone here knows it, is that people with lower test scores who get in through other metrics might be disadvantaged when competing with the 90%+ of the class that outscored them both in HS and on the SAT/ACT. You can disagree with that (I know there are many reasons to), I just don't see the point in hateful attempts to frame this as an extremely racist remark by taking it completely out of context.

Sorry, I'm new here, this is just a pet peeve of mine. I dislike when anyone on any side of an issue uses misrepresentation and deliberate misstatements of facts to make a purely emotional argument. Attack the substance, there is plenty of room to do it.
