  1. Obama encouraged going to college at the worst time in America and to take loans at a record high. How do you broke idiots feel now about Obama?

  2. I have a dream as a country we will never have the most corrupt president again!!!!!!!

  3. DONT BE FOOLED BLACK PEOPLE THEY ARE ALL IN ON IT

  4. Loser leading losers. Fake News!šŸ‡ŗšŸ‡ø

  5. What a big decadent liar!

  6. Joe supported segregation

  7. Says racist joe … Author of 1994 crime bill

  8. Lol he talks about the military being diverse, while not mentioning affirmative action has also been done in the military.

  9. Even though many white people don’t like it he’s right. Schools should bring in qualified students of diverse backgrounds

  10. Please just vote for me on this next set of broken promises goofballs… It will be different this time. The problem is doing the same thing over and over and expecting a different result is the definition of insanity.

  11. For somebody who served in the military, the U.S. military is not stronger because of diversity! My first sergeant used to call it the threeā€Dsā€, where the same person would show on the three rosters on diversity in the unit; the more you have of these individuals, the less unqualified individuals the unit would have and more functional it would be!

  12. A qualified pool of applicants should NEVER include an immutable, unchangeable, from-birth characteristic (phenotype, bio-geographic ancestry, or "race") as one of those qualifications. One's ancestry has ZERO to do with one's intellect. Kudos to the Supreme Court. Biden's speech is all about cognition control, and is the essence of racism.

  13. As a president, you need to comply with the supreme court's decision, instead of encouraing disrespect of the court,'s decision.

  14. my children are going to grow up in a jungle, the jungle being a racial jungle with tensions having built so high that it is going to explode at some point. We have got to make some move on this……Joe Biden

  15. This from a sitting President, who doesn’t even know the difference between the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution, whoever is running this country, absolutely needs the complicity of main stream media and controlling free speech on the internet, to try and maintain this sham government.

  16. I’m Asian and I hated affirmative action. It’s further dividing all races – not helping. Biden needs to shut up and stop dividing their country. The court made the right ruling. Racism and discrimination is on life support. Let it die already. Geez.

  17. It is obvious by the comments here that a vast majority of Americans have zero clue what Affirmative Action was or how it was used. Affirmative Action was only used if two or more applicants who were EQUALLY QUALIFIED then race would be considered. The starting point is EQUALLY QUALIFIED. Plus, if an institution chose a white person over a person of color for a position they were BOTH EQUALLY QUALIFIED FOR then the institution had to be able to explain why. That's it. This ruling is disgusting. The truth is many highly qualified people of color will not get a position because of our biases against "exotic sounding names". Just sad.

  18. The divider in chief

  19. That is the way that it ought to be. Race, gender, ethnicity (including indigenous), age, sexuality and sectarian affinities should be entirely ignored so that all persons are seen as equals as persons within the Constitutionally compliant process. Then once the selection is made on the basis of aptitude and talent, among the pool of equals as persons, those in need of economic assistance ought to be provided it regardless of what affinity group they are part of. That is the only way forward. That has to become the fundamental principle. Reverse discrimination is not the answer and mostly reverse discrimination is all that has been effected. Reverse discrimination must end and it must be replaced by equals as persons.

  20. Time time to grab the books/ computers and grow up with the determination to make a somebody out of yourself… Not a handout basket receiver for life !!!

  21. Affirmative action action, does not just pertain to black people. The biggest beneficiaries of affirmative action have actually been women, particularly white women. Black women have benefited under affirmative action racially by being double minorities, thus creating a paradox where they make up 65% of college admissions and black graduates. Straight Men of all racial backgrounds are relegated to second class citizens, only over represented in the tough blue collar fields where diversity seems to not apply since the disposable ones, straight men, make better slaves than college students. I for one, as a straight black man, completely support the eraser of this biased, racist, misandryst, and sexist practice. Either you compete on our merit alone, or dont compete at allšŸ™ŒšŸ¾Im glad SCOTUS ruled against it!!!

  22. ASHLEY BIDEN: In her diary, ā€œthe president’s own daughter, believes his alleged showering with her could have helped create her sex addiction.ā€

  23. Awwwwn the Asians are jealous 😭😭😭😭

  24. Biden is right. There is still discrimination in America–against Asians! The US Supreme Court fixed that. Affirmative action discriminated against more qualified Asians and THAT is against the US Constitution. Maybe he should read it!

  25. Good riddance, we shouldn't we allowing racial discrimination in collages

  26. Ooooh democrats hate this one, for sure. They just can’t let go of their racism.

  27. What a scumbag. The only threat to our democracy is YOU and the rest of the Demoncrats. When you think that the country is in trouble because the court isn’t used to rubber stamp your tyrannical one sided policies, it’s time for you to go. And in 2024 when you get voted out, you sure as F better pack your bags because if you don’t, we will March on Washington to MAKE you pack, you effin cnt.

  28. Do NOT confuse "Affirmative Action" with Equal Opportunity". They are Not the same.

  29. This is all Aunt Becky’s fault isn’t it?

  30. He's actually playing a 'double speak' card.
    Affirmative Action is quite literally government-backed discrimination/racism against Asian and White people.
    But since this racism gives a nice little handicap to his apparent voter base, racism is fine for him.
    But hey, "Black people can't be racist", so I guess he gets a pass.

  31. Mr. President our military is not diverse. When the draft was eliminated, it allowed rich people to never have to serve. The army is disproportionately black.

  32. Whenever Biden gives an address someone should ask him, two minutes later, to explain what he just read from the autocue and what the subject was.
    It's almost a guarantee that he'd have no idea.

  33. Everyone hates you joe

  34. Race can no longer be considered on college admissions. But it’s perfectly acceptable for traffic stops

  35. Well if black and brown students want to go to college, they're gonna have to work harder, like the women who have to compete against men in sports. Fair libbies?

  36. Thats why its the SUPREME COURT great constitutional decision.

  37. This president is DISGUSTING, and STUPID!

  38. uncle clarence thinks hes white, but if he weren't black he wouldn't have been a sc judge

  39. Of course Jim crow Joe goes a long..they took away affirmative action from California and most Mexican have all the jobs

  40. Black People: "Stop helping us. Let us stand or fall on our own merit."

  41. I thought for sure he was gonna whip out the "poor kids are just as smart and just as talented as white kids" line.

  42. You let this senile man go a few more years and soon enough you'll have to meet a transgender requirement and have your balls cut off at birth in order to get a scholarship

  43. "I have always believed that the greatest threat to America, and you may be tired of me saying that, is our diversity, and I believe that."-Joseph biden (2:16)

  44. I believe race shouldn't be on any application.

  45. Does our president actually believe, that, some races are not intelligent enough to get into college?
