United States v. Fordice, 505 U.S. 717 (1992), is a United States Supreme Court case that resulted in an eight to one ruling that the eight public universities in Mississippi had not sufficiently integrated and that the state must take affirmative action to change this under the Equal Protection Clause. The Court found that, although the state had eliminated explicit prohibitions on the admission of black students to institutions including the University of Mississippi, Mississippi State University, and the University of Southern Mississippi, the Court of Appeals had not properly reviewed the set of discriminatory policies used by the state to suppress black enrollment at these schools. On this point, the Court stated that "[i]f the State perpetuates policies and practices traceable to its prior system that continue to have segregative effects - whether by influencing student enrollment decisions or by fostering segregation in other facets of the university system - and such policies are without sound educational justification and can be practicably eliminated, the State has not satisfied its burden of proving that it has dismantled its prior system."[1]

Are you saying Mr. Robert Powell that all of the white student in Mississippi's schools are white Evangelical supremist? Now in this United States Supreme Court case that resulted in an eight to one ruling meaning Mississippi State University, and the University of Southern Mississippi, has more work to been done.

deaCON, I am WRITING on deaCON blog...United States v. Fordice

SUBJECT

eight to one ruling that the eight public universities in Mississippi had not sufficiently integrated and that the state must take

affirmative action to change this under the Equal Protection Clause.

(6/29/2023..

The Supreme Court..has banned race-conscious admissions at both public and private institutions of higher education,

ruling that the practice violates the equal protection clause of the 14th amendment. )..

..I, Robert Powell, agree with USA Constitutional decisions AND life/liberty/happiness for Africans CAN NEVER be given by:

1. COLORED'whiteEvangelical supremists' to their COLORED'black' fellow ancestorial believers of the tenets of slaverAmericana

2. Those tenets, thought, belief and introductions came to the African slave by pagan COLORED'whiteEvangelical supremists'

3. AND..as I wrote in my 1st comment..

"..Given the state of MISSISSISSIPPI governing treatment of its' African American Citizens of MISSISSISSIPPI past and Now..

is integrating the COLORED'whites" with the COLORED'blacks' .. "a good or bad thing"

..I sure would not want my children or grandchildren in classrooms with offSpring of COLORED'whiteEvangelical supremists'.."

Mr. Robert Powell, you know for a fact that we already have been learning with the children of COLORED'whites, for over Sixty years "YES" it is a good thing because this land that we are in, is called The United States of America.
