An important point to understand Regarding Affirmative Action: Thomas Sowell went to and graduated Harvard Magna Cum Laude before Affirmative Action ever existed. He did so because he earned it. The man is brilliant. Clarence Thomas was appointed to the Supreme Court as the best candidate of all available candidates of any race. Justice Ketanji Brown Jackson, on the other hand, went to and graduated Harvard AFTER Affirmative Action was enacted. Her high school guidance counselor had reportedly advised her to set her sights lower. Nevertheless, she also graduated Magna Cum Laude Likewise, when Joe Biden was filling a SCOTUS vacancy, he announced very publicly that he would ONLY consider black female candidates. No one else need apply. Sowell will NEVER have to question whether or not he earned his place at Harvard, or anything else he achieved, because he did. No thumbs were put on the scale for him. Justice Thomas, likewise will never have to question whether he earned his spot fairly, he was in competition against all the best candidates and he won. By contrast, Ketanji Brown Jackson will NEVER be able to say she got into Harvard OR was appointed to SCOTUS because of her own merits. She will never be able to say she would have gotten onto SCOTUS if Biden had simply nominated the best candidate, because Biden ONLY considered black women. The best she will be able to say is that she was the best black female candidate. There will always be the nagging accusation, even in her own mind, that she ONLY got into Harvard because of Democrat policy, and ONLY got onto SCOTUS because Joe Biden Affirmatively Acted to help a black woman. HE DID THAT ON PURPOSE. THAT IS THE WHOLE POINT OF AFFIRMATIVE ACTION (and now DEI). NOT to help black people, but to convince black people that they NEED the Democrat party/Socialists to compete in America. That they cannot compete WITHOUT help from the Democrat Party/Socialists. (Meanwhile socialists are talking poison to black people every single day about how racist America is and that they cant achieve anything because of it--this is the same way abusive men treat their battered wives. You need me. You cant do anything without me. Etc) That is the ONLY thing Affirmative Action was created for--to help the Democrat Party/Socialists NOT to help black people.

It wasn't about racism. It was about avoiding dealing with the cause of an issue by changing entry rules. The problem was and is that American children aren't getting an equal primary education and access to enrichment. The kinds of things that Ivy League colleges look for besides SAT scares etc. My family lives on the rough side of a notoriously violent town. I'm narcoleptic, so I'm stuck with public transportation to get around. My husband has wasting stage lymphoma and needs to be near a hospital. I'm also an immigrant from a western first world nation. I know what is taught in elementary schools in northern Europe. If you don't.. feel free to take a look at the statistics. The US isn't leading the pack. More than that.. the differences between students from different areas of the US are far larger than the differences in education in any two random students within the EU. I learned stuff in elementary school that isn't taught until college here, and any enrichment has been taken out of the U.S. system. Kids are not taught with a focus on comprehension and cooperation, but instead on scoring we'll individually on specific tests. Our middle son is autistic. He scores in the 99th percentile on MEAP tests pretty much every time, but they have trouble managing his emotional issues. He doesn't qualify for help in school because he isn't "behind" in any subjects. They did still wantef to hold him back because he was socially "young". Thing is.. he will have the same social issues no matter where he is or how old he gets. I would know. I have the same issues, and no more answers for those issues than he has. Not being poor would make a huge difference though.. A guy once told my son "stand right there" and started punching him. My kid stood right there. He didn't scream. He didn't run. He didn't fight back. He's autistic. He always will be. When we called the cops the guy told the cops "he just stood there" and thought my son was being arrogant. He never even realized my son stood there *because that's exactly what he'd told him to do*. Now. Had we been from a more affluent family, he might have been in a school more able to handle the kind of issues he had and helped him get into college as a precocious student. He would have done great there, since far more individuals at the college are adults. His issues wouldn't have had nearly as detrimental an effect. The question that remains is "So what drives poverty in the U.S.?" The highest levels of wealth are inherited wealth. The families have rich people already in it. People have a safety net. Why do immigrants and the offspring of past slaves not have the same access? Because inherited wealth takes time to build up and become established. How do you preestablish that in families like ours? So: Instead of reforming the school system and investing in America's future ability to compete internationally, they simply lowered the college admission bar. They never actually fixed the problem of ensuring true equal access to quality education. Even after affirmative action, you're in college now on lowered entry criteria.. what good will that do you when the material you are supposed to learn is stuff you are not actually ready for? The reasons for affirmative action *did* have it's origins in the racism and classism in the history of this nation. The answer was just never "no child left behind" style just passing people through classes they hadn't fully learned. Investment and reform takes money and a vision beyond the current quarterly profit report. If you run a country like a slumlord runs rentals, what reason does anyone have to expect it to do anything other than continue to deteriorate? Kids aren't supported to develop their innate talents, they are taught to the test, and the kinds of jobs that will make them enough money to survive the future, instead of allowing them to drive the innovation that promotes growth. Until we actually fix the educational system, affirmative action is the literal least we can do.

@a_diamond affirmative action was not supposed to be racist but it was, when you give one race more opportunity than others, it is racist no matter how you trly to spin it. I know all about schools in Europe because my mom is an imagrant from Europe. I have talked to her side of my family many times about how different America is than Europe. We have family coming to the US next week. It's 100 degrees here right now and it will suck for them lol. Because of affirmative action I could not qualify for federal grants or scholarships. Like I said you do not stop racism with more racism.

In the 60's I was very much for Affirmative Action.... I assumed Racism was a true roadblock in a great many ways. Where I grew up I went to a very integrated school. Washington state. Asians, Black's, Whites. We were all friends until the Civil RIGHTS movement in the South. Unfortunately I became the enemy of some of my friends from kindergarten. We all received equal educations, from what I understood this wasn't true for Black people throughout the country. I started to realize it is extremely unfair as human nature is often lazy. I can get hired because I am Black + a woman then a lesbian.... 3 quotas not necessarily qualified. And it continued. It became a license to be a low performance person who doesn't really qualify or deserve these opportunities. It cheated more qualified and it says to Black's you aren't able to. You don't have the same intelligence as White people, Asians.... So it's okay to stay VICTIMS be Lazy and Blame others for your FAILURES.

Health for ourselves and our children/family, decent education and job to pay bills and not live in debt (step away from materialistic society they shove down our throats to keep us poor/in debt), a roof over our heads a safe neighborhood and places to buy groceries, necessities, etc., a solid transit system or car that we can take care of / afford to repair, , family, friends, love and to be loved, healthcare (affordable and obama care is outrageously priced), and we need to be kind and respectful to ourselves and each other. We The People MUST come together and stop the gov from dividing us. They are playing us against each other. GOP is just as bad w skeletons in their closets as well.

I’m a community college professor. The majority of my students do NOT want an education. They want money and they know that education will get them money so if they can just somehow skate through then they should be good. Edited to add: it for sure hurts the good students. I have to dumb down my teaching tremendously and the majority of my students still don’t pass. They aren’t getting a college education. They’re getting college lite because they aren’t prepared for college. My students have gotten so bad that half of my class is just teaching them basics so they can even understand what I’m saying. I don’t have time to actually lecture on my topic. I have to teach them how to study, what words mean, etc. it’s ridiculous. The government has 12 years to create people who can get jobs and they can’t even teach them how to read.

I'm in college right now and it's really sad to see so many people there just kind of coasting along only aspiring to the absolute minimum to get the degree. In my experience it hasn't been one single race but more of a cultural degradation on the whole. I've met many people proud of how little they are doing and how poorly they are performing. College seems to be just a four year excuse not to have to enter the real world for many people, and when they still graduate it devalues the degree in general.

It's also fun to note that at major Universities, they were not only using Affirmative Action but applying it on a sliding scale based on race. Asians were being discriminated against the most. Ivy League schools were trying so hard to keep Asians out that it got to the point that having a near perfect GPA and being in the highest echelon of SAT scores wasn't good enough to get them into the University. Why? Because Asians aren't diverse enough, I guess. They wanted more people with a higher melanin count, even if they weren't benefitting from the education, because it would look better for them.

Society has put up barriers to only let in those that are smart enough to do certain jobs or get into colleges. When you introduce affirmative action you are basically forcing a square peg through a round hole. You are forcing the system to accept substandard level people. There are a lot of jobs out there that require real smart people, not someone who got by because of a government pass. I don't want some affirmative action doctor doing surgery on me. I don't want some affirmative action person flying the plane I'm on, or designing and overseeing the construction of a major bridge. I really don't want an affirmative action person drilling on my teeth. See the pattern? Affirmative action is a sign of weakness. It makes a country weak.

The average pay of some of these occupations totals $52,000, specialized jobs, including aircraft mechanics and heavy-equipment technicians, can surpass $100,000. Plumbers in Atlanta earn $90,000 in wages and commissions - a salary that's 70% higher than the region's average income.

I asked him if he could get me in and he told me "The union doesn't hire colored". Back then, that's how it was. All you could do is move along.

The problem with it today is that it teaches people in the “benefiting” groups that they are not capable of achieving on their own merits. It also influences a culture that proudly states “we don’t see minorities as capable equals” the resentment comes from the lack of truth in that statement. Minorities are equal in ability if not often highly sought after for diversity in background, thoughts/ideas, perspective and ability.

Affirmative action harmed the quality of the work force by forcing companies to hire people based on skin color over actual skills brought to the work force....some companies were attacked and persecuted for having hired predominantly white people without even looking at or acknowledging the local population was mostly white...when non white populations drop below 20% the chances of there being any ethnic peoples looking for work in each professional field..the odds drop even harder the higher up we go in skilled/educated positions.. In the end, people are in positions they haven't earned an oftentimes don't have the skills or training to excell in.. A common byproduct is early burnout, suicides, corruption(can't get that raise so bribes are more likely), and often times a change of professions to better suit the person's skills and training.....

Your analysis of the ideas in the video was good as far as you went. But, beyond the obvious ideas in the video, here are a couple other things to consider. In the part of the discussion about setting up everyone to go to college even if they aren't suited for it, you offered the idea that some people simply have no business in college and stated that those people need to have opportunities to achieve the good life without college. I agree, but one of those opportunities is blue-collar work and nobody (you included) even suggested that working hard with your hands should be a goal for some people -- even though many of those jobs offer great pay and benefits. It seems that we (as a society) don't even hold working with our hands (and backs) to be a career that is worth encouraging. In fact, we don't bother to even mention it as a possible (honorable) escape from poverty. Second, when considering why affirmative action is a failure -- especially for the people it purports to help -- you overlooked what it does to colleges that normally cater to high-achieving people or to the people admitted to a program that is beyond their ability to perform. When a college is told that they must enroll X% of students who would not normally qualify, that college has to make a choice -- do they reduce their standards, or do they admit unqualified students and then let them fail. As an example, if a school curriculum normally requires that students have a 140 IQ to succeed, do they reduce their standards and provide an education that anyone with an average IQ can pass, or do they admit that (very bright kid with) 130 IQ and let him fail? If they lower their standards, they do society no good, and if they admit that unqualified student they might set him on a lifetime of failure -- whereas if they sent him down the road to the State college, he would have been the smartest one in his class and been a success at all he did. As I said, just offering some thoughts. Nice job on the reaction.

I graduated HS just over thirty years ago. Back then, it wasn't uncommon for a person of any race to attend a few semesters of the local Community College if their HS performance wasn't sufficient to get into the University they really wanted to attend. If a person's education doesn't meet the standards, it's up to THEM to correct it- it's not the responsibility of the Universities to lower their standards!

I forgot to ask you for your future plans. What are you interested in after college? When do you graduate?

Hypertheorical. Assume you are life-threatening ill. Now you have a choice of two doctors. Doctor A is from a group where you only need a 70 on a final exam to treat that illness. Doctor B is from a group where you need at least a 95 on the same exam. Although you have no way of knowing their individual score, you do know Doctor B got at least a 95, and Doctor A got at least 70. You do not know if Doctor A's score was 95 or better. Affirmative action had made it so that the quality of Doctor A is questionable. Which doctor will you choose? If Doctor A got a 95 or better on the exam, did affirmative action help or hurt his career? And what of the wellbeing of the people who saw a sub-95 doctor?
