"Besides, what good to administration would do affirmative action in itself?" well i added the benefit. it would give another view of a situation thanks to lived experience
if the supreme court was complete comprised of poc, id object to that as well, because we need unique perspectives to view a case from all possible angles

Honestly, I am not much savvy of American history. But something similar happened here when the Monarchy intended to give reparations to former slaves after the ban on slavery, but the Oligarchies deposed the Emperor and said reparations never came. In fact, Old Republic Brazil drew a LOT of inspiration from the United States, even being a haven for the Eugenist Movement.
But sure, reparations should have been given... at that time. Blacks are relatively integrated into society, despite social injustices that carry on until now (even more blatant than in the US), so DIRECT reparations would be actually counterproductive because it would only increase racial tensions.
I prefer indirectly repairing injustices. Since blacks are generally poorer than whites, then make a social program for poor people that will indirectly help them out. Among other things that didn't cross my head.
About the Supreme Court, putting POCs into the Supreme Court FOR sensibility just wouldn't work. It would only be paliative, and God knows whether they will serve the American Constitution or just an ideology, which is the reason the Supreme Court exists. Diversity and sensibility should be consequences, not goals.

At least here, feminists also desire for reparations because of their traditional roles in pre-feminist Brazil. They also ask for affirmative action.
An example is that here, parties are OBLIGATED to have a certain percentage of its running members being women, else the party can't run for an election.
That's bullshit and only serves for shady business, like "phantom candidates".

do you agree with the monarch regarding reparations for brazilian slaves?
if you agree that the systemic issues from the past have left a lingering imprint on the black commity, why dont you feel that we should rectify it? lets say the government agreed to allocate money for the renovation of black schools and neighborhoods, would you be against that?
i totally agree with social programs, but why trim the weeds of a systemic issue instead of pulling it out by the roots? the goal of things like affirmative action is that its a short term solution to give a certain demographic a leg up, and once they at the level of others theres no more need for it
why do you assume a female poc supreme court justice wouldnt serve the constitution? theyr going to be liberal no matter what, so why would them being female and/or a poc matter in that regard?

i cant speak to feminist issues in brazil unfortunately, but as i said im for affirmative action if they are as underrepresented there as they are here.
is there a reason why they have such strict criteria? even to me it sounds a bit obtuse to require a certain amount of women simply to run

Low income neighborhoods dont exist due to crime, low income neighborhoods PRODUCE crime. When stealing and making a living doing criminal activity pays better than a 9-5 job ofc people arent gonna work. The blame isnt the snitches but the mayors and community leaders who get in positions of power and sit around collecting checks for minimum effort. They always talk about cleaning up the streets but pump money and resources back into that system. Look at new york they released a ton of criminals and dumb shit in order to pander and police are being attacked an officer died officers are dying. They dont get support. They cant stop crime and when their budget gets cut they lose resources needed to dont their job.
