The society should help the poor black kids. But helping them via the Affirmative Action is a very bad idea because it's too late. Poor black kids need to be helped when they are in primary schools, in order to give them equal opportunities. Lowering the bar for them to get into colleges is cheating to get equal outcome which should be illegal. The society should strive for equal opportunity instead of equal outcome. If we lower the bar for blacks for college admission, what about lowering the qualification score of board exam for doctors for blacks? What about lowering the bars for all kinds of professional certification tests for blacks? The answer is obvious. If you want to help the blacks, help them early instead of late when they are evaluated.
I work at a university and if you know you cant be fired, you lay around and do nothing. So Tax payers pay people for being a race that cant be fired and lay around doing nothing. Students get A's for doing nothing because they are a race under spotlight.
Race? And all this time I thought college admissions were overwhelmingly dominated by wealth and athletic abilities….
Get those asians out of our colleges! We can't have our colleges filled up by nerds and cheaters
The left needs victims and a perceived oppressor. They do not seek equality. Really think about that…without this concept they have nothing left to sell.
What purpose does it serve to have a "higher place of learning" if you turn down the highest grade students in favor of B and C grade students just because of the color of their skin? Once in the school then the school (college) is forced to lower the tests to accommodate the lower iq students. If you don't "dumb the school down" then the affirmative action kids claim the curriculum is rrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrracist. The next thing you know the entire college student body is nothing more than community college educated goof-balls instead of having their brain honed and perfected into a professional thinker at a prestigious institute of higher learning.
Qualifications not skin color
Affirmative action is simply a racist program that should never have been legal in the first place.
Supported by the Left and Unions it encourages everyone to be mediocre.
The left and the unions want people who are easily led are unable to think for themselves.
Whites have enough privilege, we need to make it harder if not impossible for them to go to college. Minorities have been held back for way too long. Triple the tuition on whites and make them go thru a racism and privilege test in addition to much higher academic standards.

Get rid of affirmative action it is racist and makes black and brown kids unable to compete with other kids at similar standards why allow a black kid to get into a college that would normally require other races to recieve far higher gdp and sat or ACT scores in harvard any race other then black requires either a 1500+ on the sat or 30+ on the act but if your black it goes down to requires only 1200+ on the sat or only 23+ on the act how is that fair or appropriate
European Americans call themselves white but are pink? pink supremacy?
African Americans call themselves black but are brown?
If Americans can choose colours that they are not then I can too.
I am a brown Maori and I choose to call myself a gold supremacist.
"You know those centuries of progress we've made as a society? . . well let's just 'revisit' that. . ."
Do you know Joe Biden can stop this is going to allow it to happen because it gives you a reason to vote for Democrats
It's affirmative… it's racist
Good
The civil rights act was made with the intention that everyone has an equal playing field, not outcome. We were not supposed to say "Because of the past, you start with a bonus leg up at the expense of others."
It needs to happen..
Its bout time they take an action.
What’s next?
Bringing back “whites only” signs on businesses?
I’m sure certain people would love that.
(And I’m not talking about Democrats)
You can only say me too if you do the work
I can't believe Democrat politicians told their supporters to go to the homes of supreme court justices. Cuck Schumer should be in jail for inciting violence.
if affirmative action was money it would be called taxes.
SCOTUS is GARBAGE.
Affirmative action = racism
Bye bye affirmative action & good riddance.
Setting fire to all established precedent.
It's time to stop A.Action!!!
So if they get rid of it, wouldn't white women be the ones who have the most to lose? Since they benefit from it more than anyone else does.
Affirmative Action; sure. I was denied acceptance and admission to law school and a Federal Law Enforcement agency in 1975 and 1983 because they "had a quota to fill" and I was white; despite the fact my test scores in both instances were in the top 2 percent of all applicants. So much for anti-discrimination in college and Federal hiring.
Asian they will succeed here no matter what because they came with a goal wile us are getting into the the habit of getting as a given no earned so at the end is a waste of time and later most financially crushed as you see on majority
Thank GOD I already graduated, my brown ass would've never made it here without these laws.
