The Narrative Against the Supreme Court's Affirmative Action Ruling Just ImplodedMatt Vespa

The Left is still reeling from their disastrous week on the Supreme Court, where religious liberty was upheld, and equality in college admissions was restored. The former case is more low-key, but the affirmative action decision, where the Court ruled that such practices in the college admission process were unconstitutional.
The liberal whining cycle started with the usual trite talking points about the Court being illegitimate because it handed down a decision we didn't like that morphed into a racist tirade against Asians and how they can’t think for themselves, serving as pawns of white supremacy. Undoubtedly, it was white liberals who voiced their dissatisfaction the loudest, but they can pack up the circus because their narrative about affirmative action just collapsed. As it turns out, there’s another group of people who are fine with the Supreme Court’s decision: Black Americans (via WaPo):

The data, from an Economist/YouGov poll conducted after the Supreme Court’s decision, shows Americans approving of it more than 2-to-1. That’s a finding in line with surveys conducted before the decision, including from The Washington Post and CBS News, which showed more than 6 in 10 Americans supported the idea of banning the use of race and ethnicity in admissions. Another poll conducted after the decision, for ABC News, showed Americans approved of it by a 20-point margin.
What’s particularly striking about the Economist/YouGov poll is how Black Americans responded. Indeed, more of them actually approved of the decision (more than 4 in 10) than disapproved (fewer than 4 in 10). And more Black Americans “strongly” approved (31 percent) than disapproved (26 percent).
