Asian 65% support?!!
Stop your lies.
I'm sick of it, what was it MLK by Jr said, he wanted his children judged by the character and content of their heart, not the color of their skin? I wish the ones who follow him, would practice what they preach. Its never going to be right until we allow one standard and one law. Period. End if discussion.
Asian moms right now: “Now you have no excuse to not get into Harvard”
I fail to believe that 66% of Asians support Affirmative Action
Affirmative action and nothing more than government approved racism and discrimination and as such it needs to go. Good job, Supreme Court.
White liberals are OK with AA when another race has to pay the cost. But when it comes to relinquishing their own power or privilege in the name of equity — lol never that.
AA was systemic racism. Glad it is gone.
I was athletically disadvantaged because my Filipino parents didn’t let me play organized sports until I was in high school. I think the NBA should hold me to lower performance standards and allow me to add more racial diversity to the Chicago Bulls.
To make it equal what we have to do is get the asian dads out of the equation. The fact that asian dads know their kids name is unfair.
Democrats are done,,, they should quit now and save face…
No more freeriding individuals. No more free rider in a group with that one specific kid doing all the work for the rest of the group.
I'm a Jamaican American, Navy vet, black conservative. Voted for Trump snd will vote for him again. The people who endured a Holocaust in America deserve a lot more than Band-Aid affirmative action. They also deserve two years of free college. No I don't believe in monetary reparations as that will only magnify the problems in the black community. The irony is many of the Asians are anchor babies whose parents hijacked the 14 amendment designed to give slaves citizenship. Many white people think that this is a victory. Meanwhile Latinos, Asians are pouring into America displacing and pushing black people out of their jobs, schools and neighborhoods. As a former homeless veteran I can easily prove that Indians, Arabs Asians and Latinos are far more wicked evil and racist than any white. They come to America with a sense of supremacy, but can't breathe the air or drink the water where they come from. Asian supremacist believe that any black face in college means that they are being discriminated against. However I keep warning white people in America. The door you open for all these people to disrespect and violate African-Americans is the same door that's now being used against you. Why do you think there is a Latino Asian coalition in California. All that America has done to African Americans will come back to haunt America. By the way because I am not African-American my children should rightfully be excluded from participating in any initiatives to right past wrongs. Black people stop doing business with people who hate you. This is about Asian hate towards blat. Stop the anchor baby madness and demand congress amend the 14th amendment.
affirmative action = let's discriminate against a certain group or groups
Affirmative action is a wrong, irresponsible, racist solution to solve a diversity issue.
It was a racist policy towards asians
If the flaming liberals in California no longer want it then how would rest of the country justify it. Affirm Action was never constitutional. Move on.
Affirmative action was always a racist and sexist policy.
Candace Owens, Don't be that Judas.
Dear Candace,
You have no enemy here, just a concerned voice trying to help lead you to Salvation. Candace, Your recent disingenuous video on Affirmative Action was expected and predictable. Candace, Your entire self-promoting existence depends on you delivering fact twisting controversy, trouble and chaos with a smitten pretentious joyful smile glued to your hollow stoic glass face which is constantly riddled with unnecessary fear. Candace, You know very well that Affirmative action wasn't put in place because Black people are not capable enough to obtain a higher education, it was put it to place to try and lend a much long awaited helping hand to a people that were brutally enslaved by a Country who stole them from their homeland which set back generations in lost opportunity here in America. A Proud people who still to this day have not been compensated accordingly for helping build this entire Country they still love that did not love them back as they still fought and died in Wars to protect, and you dare try to compare them with a White students privilege? Candace, I guess removing Affirmative Action is how your beloved Earthly false God Trump was planning on helping Black people in America when he said they had nothing to lose voting for his then Republican Party. Candace, always remember that even Jesus Christ needed Judas to get to the Cross, as you are now He. How does it feel to help betray your own people like the hypocritical Czar Clarence Thomas who benefitted himself from Affirmative Action? Candace, you obviously somehow have convinced yourself that the mendacious propaganda you sinfully spread is right and justified, but underneath your cynical manipulation of lies , as even the Devil himself is aware, you know the real truth and one day that truth will surface and consume you with a regret so overwhelming that you will recall every moment of your deceitful ways multiplied a thousand fold in total unbearable shame. But you can always turn around and accept this truth and start trying to take down the cobwebs of political guile you have already wickedly spun. It is not too late to repent and redeem yourself Candace Owens. I will pray Jesus helps you remove those cobwebs especially the ones that cover your own once innocent eyes very soon as Testimony to his Unconditional Love, Forgiveness and Grace. Money isn't everything Candace, start storing your treasures in Heaven where they will remain forever. Candace, just remember you are still a child of God and Jesus still loves you. You do not have to travel down a river of deceit. Peace be with you Candace and may Jesus help save your soul, Amen.

John 9:25,
He replied, “Whether he is a sinner or not, I don’t know. One thing I do know. I was blind but now I see!”
Conservatives don’t care about equality until is serves to hinder minorities.
Nigerians make significantly more money than black Americans in America. Now why is that? Black Americans are privilege and so they do not have the same work ethic as Nigerians. My sources is Wikipedia if you want to look it up yourself.
Anyone in these TV stations other than Fox dare to say something else?
Affirmative action hurt asians the most. Imagine getting above 1400s in SAT and still getting rejected from top tier colleges. While white counter parts only need 1300+ and Blacks/Hispanics just need 1200+.
Who will judge u on merit? The dominant ones in power? Yeah, right another sucker was hustled by the system. Our people 😴
Hosea 4:6 My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge: because thou hast rejected knowledge, I will also reject thee, that thou shalt be no priest to me: seeing thou hast forgotten the law of thy God, I will also forget thy children.
Affirmative action for students from low income families makes sense. Race based is so flawed since rich minorities can benefit from it.
You guys do realize your guy trump is going to jail and our brother Yusef Salaam just made an absolutely historic accomplishment by becoming a city council member for the Democratic Party. Do not get too comfortable republicans you have far more grief then victories ahead of you.
