I don't support AA for law school because I think it's designed to render minority students depressed and alcoholic by subjecting them to the existential malaise, moral decay, and aesthetic myopia of the legal profession.

The system screws AA benefactors pretty badly too. Ask Clarence Thomas about his fun-time getting a job post YLS.

Because he's obsessed.

Ask Partners At Law firms what they think at first, when they see someone who's black show up for a job interview with an HLS degree. The answer will depress you.mallard wrote:That was 35 years ago.

Silly Eddie. I can post PMs.eddietx12 wrote:I hope I go one on one against you in litigation where justice is blind to your fucking lucky genetic access-pass to HLS.
I can't wait till merit dunks on your punk ass which has been hanging in circles in which you know you don't belong.
I know exactly how easy it is to keep taking bullshit standardized tests till you "get lucky". I also know how easy it is to game your stupid college with an inflated GPA, self "identify" yourself as a fucking "BLASIAN," whatever the f that is - and claim any kind of "status"
You don't DESERVE to be where you're at. Nor do the rest of the URMs at the low-end of the HLS stats. Go fuck yourself.

Edit for acrossthelake: DIAF stands for Die In A Fire. Not one of my favorite abbreviations, personally.

lol. I go to HLS, so I have a pretty good sense of how future law firm partners and future black HLS interviewers feel.eddietx12 wrote:Ask partners at law firms what they think at first, when they see someone who's black show up for a job interview with an HLS degree.

Also, Gaia, I'm not sure posting PMs is within forum rules - you should check that. Lulzy though.

And on that note...
U all WANT A PIECE OF ME NOW? 'Cuz it sounds like y'all miss PDaddy with a thread like this.
I leave u alone for awhile and u can't even do it right...can't handle it. Your minds still aren't free. I have been working overtime on a very complicated civil rights case, but I can come back and give y'all some if you want me too. And u know I'm surgical with it.
Any black student going to any top school earned it, believe that! Quit being insecure, entitled, anti-AA babies. White skin is AA for white people; so you have had it for over 400 years.
