We’ve all heard David Brooks’s news: The meritocracy is dead. Like a haphazardly built house of cards, the previous sliver of meritocracy at elite institutions has collapsed into nothingness. With admissions serving as a system “undermined by a 'hereditary aristocracy of wealth,'” and elite schools’ campus cultures reaffirming status through social hierarchies, modern students are navigating a system where status matters more than skill.

Who has jurisdiction over Blackness? Who gets to determine who is and isn’t Black, and why? And what is it based on? Is it phenotype — complexion, hair texture, lips, eyes, your nose? Is it who you hang out with? Is it how you dress, or where you went to school? Is it where you’re from or how you talk? Is it your name? Is it what you eat or where you worship? Who gets to make that decision? Who is in charge of validating a person’s “Black card”?

When I told my Colombian friends I was rushing for a sorority, they asked me if I was going to get a Venmo notification each time I missed a chapter event. Then, they asked me if it was some sort of cult. After I (cluelessly) denied both things, they asked me if I was prepared to go into a room full of high school-like mean girls.

They were accused of rejecting peace and of holding grudges. I see it differently: Those who voted no refused to accept a system that would let murderers, rapists, drug dealers, and other terrorists — who had purposefully harmed the country for 50-plus years — get away unscathed.
