And the Good evening. It's Thursday, June 29th. Welcome to a new episode of

System Update. Our live nightly show that airs every Monday through Friday at 7 p.m. Eastern exclusively

here on Rumble the free speech alternative to YouTube. Tonight in a landmark

ruling with implications far beyond the specific case the US Supreme Court today struck down the use of

race as a factor in the admissions process of both Harvard and the University of

North Carolina. In a 6-3 ruling, the court held that holding a person's race against them when deciding who is and is not admitted to universities violates the right of equal protection guaranteed by the 14th Amendment to the Constitution.

In some, the practice long known as affirmative action whose advocates have long claimed is necessary

to combat racial discrimination is now finally classified by the court as

itself a pernicious form of racial discrimination. The type of prejudice

the 14th Amendment was enacted to combat. The principles enshrined in today's ruling extend far beyond

the university setting. The use of race-based preferences of this kind has become

pervasive in the US. They are used in the hiring process by the largest

corporations and by state and federal government agencies in determining which citizens are and are not eligible for a wide array of benefits.

We will examine the ruling, its key consequences, and most of all, these two pressing questions.

First, does the color of a person's skin determine the type of experiences and perspectives they should be expected to bring to an academic

institution a job or a political conversation?

Or is that merely just a type of superficial diversity

weaponized by the nation's most powerful institutions

to avoid and even prevent real diversity of thought

and experience.

And then secondly, can the assumption that a person's race determines their thoughts and experiences ever be anything more than the type of crude, primitive, and offensive stereotyping, which its defenders claim to oppose.

As we do every Tuesday and Thursday,
