[@danieldesjardins4074]

Clarify please.

[@Quinston82]

@@danieldesjardins4074 If you need that clarified, then you must have only been watching MSNBC for the last twenty years. Affirmative action denies entry to hard-working and deserving students (often Asian or White) in order to fill quotas based on the color of one's skin. It's racism, hence it's unconstitutional. That's really all you need to know, and all this rhetoric about packing the supreme court (with more liberals, obviously) and talk of the supreme court being "far-right extremist" is asinine. Racism is unconstitutional, and deserving black students ARE admitted if and when their academic performance meets the necessarily harsh entry standards at these universities. Maybe we should be looking at how Democrat policies destroyed the family structure in black neighbourhoods and caused generations of young black kids to grow up without fathers, surrounded by violence and gang culture. Democrat cities are the worst places to grow up if you want to pursue a good education, precisely because of policies such as affirmative action, that claim to help people but never encourage people to help themselves. Victim mentality is a disease and it is being spread by Democrats.

[@airplayrule]

@@danieldesjardins4074 SCOTUS ended Asian, white students' discrimination. Most Americans support a ban on making ethnicity a factor in college admissions. SCOTUS agreed, but allowed students to talk about how their ethnicity affected them. I'd say SCOTUS should've been clear that u must PROVE how it affected u, n to be fair, should allow u to mention how your health, poverty, lack of connections or "legacy" status, or your ugliness or weakness n being bullied, affected u. each person's life has more or less fortune n hardships, n we can't assume based on color. If u want diversity, u can seek diverse classes n guests. MLK copied Ghandi, Einstein credited all math from Indians (which they got from Vedas, which seems to be where all knowledge originated from, which youtuber "Playitalready" plans to show evidence for) but where's Indian history month? Why 7-11 jokes, etc. can be made on Indians, but they along with ALL Asians, have to sue to stop colleges from lowering their personality score n making their ethnicity a key, to give their seat to blks? because you're a selfish r*cist? no thanks. if u have so much empathy, start with the 70% of blk kids having no father. i mostly blame f*minists for that. help animals in factory farms, who are being treated worse than blks.

Affirmative Action is a double edge sword. Counter Point: I spent 2 years taking Fire Science classes in the evenings while raising a young boy and had a full-time job. I volunteered at the County Fire Department on weekends and passed the State Test to become a Certified Fire EMT. I spent 16 weeks of Saturdays completing the training at the Fire Academy. I took many tests around SoCal to gain employment with the FD, in all cases after the written test, an oral interview, and passing a physical examination. Each time I made the top ten list for new hires. This was in 1980 when the Fire Department was required to hire minorities to balance the workforce. I was passed over by this, they had to go several tiers down to get minority candidates who were recruited from minority neighborhoods, and they were prepared by the Fire Department at all stages of the hiring process. I gave up after all the work after 4 years I had put into this career, while others got a Bump Forward for their minority status and were hired. Is that fair to be passed over because you were born white? We can not give bias in housing and jobs to minorities, race can not be considered. Why in our schools? This has denied students that are not of a minority the same chance at schools of their choice. I will never take anything away from any minority ( I married one), but I will not discriminate against any race, and that includes my own.

I have been denied a job because of Affirmative Action(learned the job was terrible and so I am not bothered by it) and worked someplace else that hired for it even though the new employee was incompetent and you could see the incompetency when he talked. In less than 6 months a new position was opened just to cover that one worker. And the HR rep going over the applications was my GF at the time and she told me how it was an Affirmative Action hire and people with tons of experience were denied just so they could have a token black man in the warehouse and not get sued even though there was an Asian working in the office, 2 Hispanics, and a native American working for the company in other roles(janitor was white). Just not a whole lot of black people living in the area and applying. He was the only one that year and only got the job due to his skin color. Is that a good thing to deny someone who deserves the job just because they are not a minority? Or is it just as bad as denying someone a job just because they are a minority? They are equally bad and Affirmative Action forced it to happen way more than you would think. The black woman commenting on fewer black people getting into Cali schools ignores the possibility that the fewer is because the schools are enrolling by qualifications and not race, that the majority population applies more due to just being a majority and that itself adds more better qualified students. And completely ignores that public schools are funded by local taxes and minorities tend to live in more impoverished areas and therefore less funded schools providing less education for a less educated population that is not educated enough to rise out of poverty. Same problem with all white small towns in the mid west or south and their lack of getting into big schools after they graduate from HS.

Sen. Tim Scott says a lot of things that are right, but liberal news media would rather smear him as an "Uncle Tom" than listen to what he has to say. But you're assuming that a college or university seeing two applicants of the same competency would choose one over the other based on skin color. That's a massive assumption, and if that were happening it would be called discrimination. Which is unconstitutional. For the same reason, the supreme court has ruled that affirmative action is unconstitutional. Because choosing applicants based on the color of their skin, and not the content of their character, is racism. There's really not that much more to understand here. Yet you have liberals claiming they want to pack the supreme court (with more liberals, obviously) and calling the supreme court "far-right extremist". Bleeding-heart Liberals want to "help" the poor, black folk. Well, tell them to stop voting for Democrats who have been running the cities in which they live for decades without doing anything to improve the quality of their lives, especially their education! Victim mentality is a disease that thrives in Democrat enclaves.

[@docinparadise]

Wealthy people (of any race) can afford the best private schools, tutors for the SATs, overseas humanitarian trips that look great on applications, ay someone to craft and write your admission essay, and of course legacy admissions. The connections that wealthy families have give them an unfair advantage to begin with. Somehow we need to convince employers that Ivy League universities don’t automatically create better employees. We need to invest heavily invest in trade schools, apprenticeships and on the job training programs. And we need to publicly fund elections so that networks of big donors don’t have the impact they have now.

[@Quinston82]

And yet Democrat policies do none of that, they only focus on giving handouts. The rhetoric from the Left is designed to make victims out of people. Regardless of what opportunities are afforded to, let's face it, just a handful of rich kids (like, 1% of kids) the only antidote is to encourage kids to work hard and study right. Parents are the ultimate force behind a child's education and Democrat policies have encouraged generations of black mothers to raise their kids without a father, and fathers to abandon their children. These kids are at a severe disadvantage but giving them a pass to a prestigious college that they are not really suited for is not the answer. The answer is to raise kids who are good enough to get into these colleges on merit alone. For instance, giving parents a choice on where to send their kids to school would force schools to be accountable for the quality of the education they provide. That's the very reason why private schools churn out so many high performing students: a. they require their students to meet certain standards, and b. they will lose those students if they don't provide a high-quality education. Yet Democrats think that school choice is racist, what a surprise. Not to mention anytime a Republican puts forward a bill to address inequality they are outright dismissed by the Liberals and smeared by the media as racist. Because apparently only Democrats want to help people get a better education. America needs to get a grip, and the Liberals need to let go of their insane ideas about how they think the world "should" work.

Socioeconomic status should be the main criteria going forward, as a primary means of achieving diversity.

[@YTPartyTonight]

It seems to me the ruling and Roberts' opinion were based on an erroneous straw man with regard to college and university admission policies. I think that makes this ruling easier to sidestep.

[@tn2717]

This is a nightmare

[@Myers70]

NO IT'S NOT

[@charlesmartin1121]

So now to explain the inequalities of underserved minorities in education, it is now going to be put on black and hispanic students to complain about that system in college admissions essays? Thats whack.

[@christopherjavens3438]

Don't complain, study and work as hard as wyts and yellows

[@Mike_Honcho_8653]

Hmm. Asians are minorities. Asians are "brown skinned". Many Asians grow up in the same poor neighborhoods and attend the same schools as blacks and Latinos. Yet Asians kids are excelling in academia. What's your excuse for the black and Latinos?

[@mr.calypsococonut]

A. This hurts talented African Americans B. If you have money and skin colour you do not need legacy - it is a given - baked in C. Legacy programs are open handed fixed systems of priveledge that African Americans do not have due to their legacy D. Education is for a better nation in a world economy that is becoming more and more connected and technology getting out of hand with real control and autonomy. Resulting in a self inflicting achilles heel of societal judiciary psychosis of self centered insensitivity and indifference that can seem racist, but it speaks more about values and long term strategies being missed for contemporaneous impulses to finish a job of punishment and execution of pain for political and social pleasure in private.

[@salmaal-shaoily5809]

So, no student loan forgiveness AND no diversity in the admission process. Got it

[@CoreyANeal2000]

Tough pill to swallow. But for those who are from minorities have to not only work through school, but also think through how others are going to interpret their race: how their going to get treated because of their race. While doing all the same work that those who don't face that do.

[@christopherjavens3438]

I agree, as a wyt, I feel the discrimination of blks all the time. By the way at my job wyts are a minority

[@donellaraye6830]

If affirmative action is so bad, why was it used for women? And, why shouldn’t it apply to other groups who are not able to break through structural or racial or socioeconomic barriers to access educational institutions…🤔

[@docinparadise]

Term limits with no extension would be good for the Supreme Court. Ethics rules with teeth and make it easier to impeach SCOTUS justices…maybe with a bipartisan organization of constitutional scholars not connected to the government to oversee the constitutionality of decisions might be an option? Obviously this court has made several decisions that are not constitutional. And we might get a reconsideration of citizens United and the 2nd amendment.

[@joemauer7970]

Some people are more equal than others

[@radwulfeboraci7504]

1st amendment rights are intended for the public square. Private entities can curtail your 1st amendment rights with community standards. Nobody is going to let you sing a profane song while displaying a Playboy centerfold in a house of worship or a Walmart. Ergo, how can the SCOTUS mandate private entities/businesses cannot pursue AF if they wish?

[@raeha7796]

People of color, please note the happiness of some who consider themselves part of 'whitness'.Let's see if they feel the same if legacy is removed.

[@christopherjavens3438]

People of color, do not be drawn in to this racist's comment

[@christopherjavens3438]

I don't see color, I see people, un like racist blks

[@matthewconrad2908]

Imagine Trump being entirely or nearly completely orange is he always a man of color or a crayon with a different tone

[@matthewconrad2908]

The orange men are men of color ?

[@Mike_Honcho_8653]

Wow. You and the rest of the NPCs that are drinking the MSM cool aid are the epitome of ignorance. You obviously aren't aware that it was a group of Asian students that brought the lawsuit that ultimately wound up in front of SCOTUS that resulted in this ruling. The Asian students were being denied entry to school based on their race via affirmative action. Asians are minorities in the USA just fyi. I'm embarrassed for you. Perhaps you need a few more sources of news so you get the whole story.

[@bobbyg7719]

If you picked 9 children. Gave them a box of crayons. Then said to them. There's other kids that want to color with you. But the only way they can, is if they are the same color tone as you? Do you know what those kids would say...They'd all tell you that's bullsh/t.

[@pauldockree9915]

Affirmative Action gutted? What has the last 18 years been for? Dire Straits' song "You and your friend" Will you and your friend come around? Are you and your friend gonna get on down? Will you and your friend come around? Or are you and your friend gonna let me down? If you talk to one another I'm a hungry man Let me know one way or the other So I can make my plans Lock step doesn't work. But Carry On.

[@pauldockree9915]

Lions - by Dire Straits. But The Lions are made of stone is one line. We all are lions and lionesses. Little Else and Elsa. Strap hanging gunshot sound Doors slamming on the overground Starlings are tough but the lions are made of stone Her evening paper is horror torn But there's hope later for Capricorns Her lucky stars give her just enough to get her home Then she's reading about a swing to the right But she's thinking about a stranger in the night I'm thinking about the lions tonight What happened to the lions

[@marcparocha]

I’m generally a conservative American, but I support affirmative action because it increases diversity in our universities and colleges across the country. It is a solution to real challenges that some minorities face in getting higher education. This strike-down is a loss, and it feels as though we are shifting closer to countries like China which are totally homogeneously merit-based… time will tell how this decision affects our future generations.

[@johhanwindsalor9478]

*So, lowering the standards... and accepting less qualified candidates... because of "THE COLOR OF THEIR SKIN"... is a good thing?* (please... tell me how that's not racist... I'll wait)

[@Myers70]

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣

[@beefcattle1543]

Thank TRUMP he appointed them.

God bless President Trump the GOAT
