If a hyper-woke municipality passed a "white privilege tax", would the SCOTUS strike it down 9-0?

I'd rather just see the courts interpret the thirteenth and the civil rights amendments as not applying to whites than this bull crap.

I honestly don't know how Breyer, Sotomayor, and Kagan would react to a case challenging such a tax law. But if they were still around, I'm sure William Brennan and Thurgood Marshall would uphold it with no hesitation at all.

I don't think Thurgood Marshall would, as he truly seemed to believe in equality.

Someone like Ketnaji Brown Jackson, on the other hand, might well be a vote in favor of such a ruling should she make it to the court.

Why do you think so? I heard KBJ is relatively moderate.

She's no more moderate than Sotomayor, and given her background as an African American, I think she's more likely to dissent in a case like this than Sotomayor is (Sotomayor, would probably also dissent in this scenario, but I'm not as certain about it).

Any reason to believe so other than she's black? Thomas is also black.

Thomas is also very unlikely to sign on to this, not because of his race, given his prior record on voting rights and affirmative action.
