What should be noted is a column written in the December 8th New York Times which included the following:

Although one African-American and four Latino applicants with lower combined academic and personal achievement scores than Ms. Fisher’s were provisionally admitted, so were 42 white applicants whose scores were identical to or lower than hers. Similarly, 168 black and Latino students with academic and personal achievement profiles that were as good as, or better than, Ms. Fisher’s were also denied, according to the university.

That is only scratching the surface of this entire ordeal.

It has now been revealed that Fisher has been backed by suspected notable white supremacists–businesspersons and organizations with reputations for practicing racism towards non-white people, particularly Melanoid people. Edward Blum is one of these people with an agenda that drops more than a hint of being anti-Black. Blum, who has been in a longtime fight to oppose programs originally intended to specifically benefit Melanoid people such as affirmative action, has been called out by members of the Asian community for his racist agenda(s).

Blum is affiliated with the American Enterprise Institute, a suspected white supremacist think tank in which he serves as Visiting Fellow and director of the Project on Fair Representation. The AEI is an organization that operates off of right-wing conservatism and the Project on Fair Representation is a right-wing legal defense fund which is financed by a libertarian group named Donor’s Trust.

Some of the other notable members serving on this board are Conservatives such as Dinesh D’Souza–whose anti-Black books have been bankrolled by the AEI–and Charles Murray, who has also authored anti-Black books such as The Bell Curve–a book that attempted to scientifically explain how Black people are intellectually inferior to whites.

This case is much bigger than Abigail Fisher, who is only being used to meet a certain agenda which involves attempting to nullify any programs or initiatives that white supremacists assume to be beneficial to Black people. A 2012 Business Insider story reported that Blum handpicked Fisher’s case because it best fit his agenda of opposing Black progress.
