"...it meant to be undocumented. It was also when my mother and I created an emergency plan for what to do if she ever got stopped for driving without [ID] while taking us to school and was deported." Ramirez said via @EnlaceLatinoNC. #NC#HB10

Reading this on the cusp of parenthood, I gotta say I was frustrated by this piece, not because I hold the kind of anxieties this is trying to voice, but because the fundamental frame of a baby being the thing that ruins friendships is so far off base.

In neighborhood after neighborhood, Durham residents express that they feel stuck driving a car and want other safe and comfortable ways to reach their daily needs.

Last thing: let's not forget that the lawsuits that led to this AA SCOTUS decision were launched not because kids couldn't get into college due to consideration of race in admissions, but because they didn't get into the college they WANTED, that they felt entitled to attend.
Today I’m remembering the vitriol yt classmates showed talking about affirmative action vs how small and lonely being BIPOC at a PWI felt. Today I’m thinking about the greed and ego of whiteness, how they hate the mere presence of difference, & the spinelessness of casual evil.
Before you begin your thinkpiece, the Supreme Court DID NOT strike down Affirmative Action
Admission preferences for legacies, donors, employee families and special recommendations are still allowed
The Court struck down Affirmative Action For everyone except WHITE PEOPLE
I was accepted to Stanford 100% bc of affirmative action. A 15 yo rez girl living w kids from royal families & trust funds. When I worked for Stanford Admissions, I had to answer does Stanford practice aff action? My response was always yes bc the playing field isn’t level! 1/
