Opponents of race-conscious admissions programs argue that Fisher III effectively raises the standard and makes strict scrutiny truly strict.

Black, in his…

Equality Within the comforts of the modernized human civilization that we all experience upon a daily basis, a person can easily forget how privileged they are to be existing in such a time of human equality and take that for-granted. However, times were not always as pleasant as they currently are; different diversities of people were not only shamed for their race, gender or ethnicity, but they were abused for it. In addition to that, abuse of this kind happened less than a hundred years ago…

When people look at me, they judge me based off my appearance and with everything that’s going on in the news with the killings of black males and females in America, it is scary to be me. My mother would always tell…

Some people may not see it that way, but others are so highly dependent on their civil rights that they use it so much to almost be a bad habit to get their way when they cannot any other way. Civil rights are a good thing if taken and used the right way. The people may know and love their civil rights, but do they know how the 1964 Civil Rights Act was passed by law.
