Thomas Sowell's, the origins of Woke,1995. Black conservative's. The most hated group in Leftist political thought. Affirmative Action, another fine work of communism. And Today show, NBC, ABC, CBS empowered it further. Sad day at the office. Losing the campaign. All that work for nothing. Another losing effort is LGBTQA, just for kids. Sad day for WJ too. Good reason why the Democratic party didn't give the Left a platform in the 1960's. Would have thrown JFK under the bus. Imposter's, Democratic socialist's that borrow our name.
Why do they keep referring to financial/poverty issues, there is no financial component to affirmative action. Poor schooling cannot be corrected with reverse racism.
Because these racists can't get it out of their head that being black or a POC doesn't mean your impoverished. Even Biden during his campaign kept slipping up on that.
Because many black communities are impoverished communities. Because of Systemic Racism. These communities are grossly underfunded and the students aren’t as supported as their counterparts

They say the schools are falling apart, and the test scores are abysmal, but the taxpayer burden per student at DC Public Schools is higher than the tuition to all but the most expensive area private schools. What gives?
Same in many of the major cities. I remember when the Detroit teachers union striked. They were screaming about race and how people refused to fund detroit schools because of racism. Turns out they were getting enough money from State and Federal funding per student to send them all to the best K-12 private schools in the state! And detroit test scores were abysmal.
The hard work that needs to be done to increase the percentage of black and Hispanic students at the top schools can not be done by universities. Instead it must be done by parents and students.
I assure you, they very much are. The problem is that despite putting in the same amount of work, they aren't being given the same consideration as white students. This is what Affirmative Action is meant to correct.
@spongeintheshoe go to the library when it opens on Saturday morning in a black neighborhood. Not everyone is trying. Plenty are still beating up others for acting white. The upper and middle class kids are working, but many others are not.

@@rwhunt99 In the last 20 years I have never heard a single person claim that affirmative action was to protect from wealthy people sending their kids to school. The media's portraying it right now because they can't just blatantly call it for what it is. Blacks and Hispanics (which I am) You no longer get preferential treatment. That's true equality.
California Prop 209 replaced affirmative action in 1996. The measure eliminate state and local government affirmative action programs in the areas of public employment, public education, and public contracting to the extent these programs involve "preferential treatment" based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin. I applied for Cal back in 1991 and was denied because the university wanted more black and brown students. A few years later, the university had a class action lawsuit for discrimination. Hence Prop 209. Thanks to Prop 209. Students are accepted to the University they applied to based on their achievements and merit. Universities have the highest Asian students enrollment. 32.2% Asian. 22.5% Hispanic/Latino. 22.2% White. 4.5% African American. Affirmative action is an excuse for those who “can’t” and wants rewarded for “preferential treatment” based on their ethnicity and gender. I am pleased the Supreme Court ruled against it.
Lower admission scores by any particular group, black, white or brown is more indicative of local cultural and political failures in educating our youth than anything to do with racism.
I hate the arguments and complaints about how schools don't either pay teachers enough, there aren't enough programs or learning materials. Look at the athletics department at those schools and I can show you where all that extra money is.
Overseas schools with a fraction of the resources of the poorest neighborhood in the u.s. manage to produce students who perform well enough to compete at the highest academic level in America. Makes me wonder what da fk we are doing here with education.
@@brianlevine249 I barely spoke English when I first came to the u.s.. I spent 2 year at an extremely small esl public high school before I went to college. Some of my classmates didn't even know how to write English letters, but we all had to graduate within 2-4 years due to our age. You would think our school would perform really bad compared to other schools in the neighborhood, but you would be wrong. We had some of the best graduation rate (over90%), college admission rate(it was 67%), gpa and average sat score in the neighborhood. Our results were comparable to some of the prestigious private schools nearby. It had nothing to do with the resources we had, we shared one small size campus with 2 other schools. It had everything to do with the fact that we all came from similar backgrounds and we all knew that if we don't work hard, we have no future. I have seen a lot of my classmates went from illiterate in english to admittable by college standard within 2-4 years, and to tell us that average American born students couldn't achieve greatness because of the lack of resources is an insult to all of us..
"While I am painfully aware of the social and economic ravages which have befallen my race and all who suffer discrimination, I hold out enduring hope that this country will live up to its principles so clearly enunciated in the Declaration of Independence and the Constitution of the United States: that all men are created equal, are equal citizens, and must be treated equally before the law," Thomas wrote.

Just like Dr. Dre "donating" $70 million to USC for a new wing/building and his daughter miraculously gets into USC few years later.....by her own hard work.
I love that throughout this entire video the foundational assumption is that you must graduate from college to be successful. These assumptions are made by a generation where that thinking may have been true but in todays world it is not so cut and dry. Yes I agree some career fields require higher education, Medicine, Engineering, Law…. But does someone really need to go to college to learn to manage a hotel? Does someone really need to go to college to be a journalist? Or do we need to revert to an apprenticeship model and allow younger people to learn on the job?
Oh puleez. A degree, even if not in the field you ending up working, is proven to improve hiring chances and salary. That's a slimy argument supporting an egregious SCOTUS ruling, not unlike their gutting the Voters' Rights Act, and a push for crappy paying apprentice positions where thieving employers advocate for less than minimum wage pay scale.
Who cares what you think everybody knows where this Trump is a simple as that one thing is clear the supreme Court does not get the vote on people of color becoming the majority of the population in 20 years and if they want the majority of their population to be uneducated they will pay for that dearly the government will pay for that dearly because people that are educated make a lot more than people that are uneducated so these people are hurting themselves in the long run as the United States of America will generate a lot less money because there won't be able to tax uneducated people as much as educated people and that in turn will hurt America
I grew up in a small Florida town and went to the exact same schools as the black community, with my elementary and middle schools directly in the black community. As in a number of black students could walk to school. We ALL then graduated to the same high school. And, I was raised in the definition of lower income household. We lived in a neighborhood of ALL mobile homes. So, for my specific life situation, I was considered a lower class student. I had to personally pay my own tuition and unfortunately never completed even an Associate of Arts degree. My point is “Why should students of color have gotten a different acceptance standard than me?” And “Why should students of color get greater financial assistance than me?”
It's sad that instead of elevating public school standards and support, the bar is lowered at the University level. If this is the reason for affirmative action, then I am against it.
Oh the politicians that those districts support DESPERATELY need those public schools to perform poorly. Then they can scream -ism and rake in the votes.
If you want to create policies to help poor students, consider social economic status, constitution doesn’t forbid that. You can not, however, use race. We fought a civil war for that.
and MILLIONS of other blacks who benefited from AA for the past 60 years and MILLIONS of Asians/middle east/Indias who were rejected for their race. Enough with this discrimination
As Thomas Sowell says affirmative action results in a systematic mismatch of students with schools. This results in increased failure rates (no degree), more downgrading of degree plans (chemistry to sociology to ethnic studies), greater failure rates in board exams.
*We've had affirmative action for 50 years! Time to move on! Even the late justice Sandra Day O'Connor foresaw the day when it would no longer be justified or needed! Maybe now black students will take time to work and study harder knowing they won't have that crutch to lift them over more deserving people!*
It's in my Opinion; That these Supreme Court judges whom Pass anti-LGBTQ+ Law's that allow for discrimination, shouldn't be allowed to change any law's, when there going around breaking laws by accepting lavish gift's from right wing billionare's in return for favors! like these!
Schools are funded with budget from that city and county. So if you live in Beverly Hill, school can have pool, air conditioning, etc If you live in Compton, school can't even fix broken window. State must distribute all school funds EQUALLY to each school. So all students have opportunity to apply to college.
This is a states issue. A locality issue even. Property taxes vary by city, county, etc. and to "pool" them all and equally distribute would be hard. It would require a lot of undoing of previous levies and enacting new taxes as well.
Nine states in the United States have banned race-based affirmative action: California (1996), Washington (1998, rescinded 2022), Florida (1999), Michigan (2006), Nebraska (2008), Arizona (2010), New Hampshire (2012), Oklahoma (2012), and Idaho (2020).
Race-based admissions is unfair and illegal. Asian children get hurt and so do white children. I am white and this is offensive. Legacy admission also seems unjust on the surface. But comparing it to other things DOES seem that it is allowable. FOR EXAMPLE: As a business owner, can I offer a discount to prior customers? Can I bump them to the front of the line for repairs? These things seem perfectly legal, though maybe not always wise in business. Not everyone is treated equally - there is a preference for prior customers. Is education a business?
I just would like to point out that in a few years, the group that got rid of this will need it. Who will be the minority in 10 to 20 years? This decision opens the door for jobs to decide to not hire because of skin color. Congratulations guys! Cheer now and cry with your grandchildren later.
By in fact, AA was racist. Every college or job should have nothing to do with the race of a person but the merit. There are those in every race that work their butts off to get to the better college or job that came from poor backgrounds. Race shouldn't be the qualifying quality that makes it where you get into college or a job. As far as jobs go no application should ever ask what race just job qualifications . You can't ask for equality in one breath while believing that you need special privileges to achieve.
@owllove992 We never care until it happens to us or someone that we love. Never forget this discussion. In a few years you will think about this discussion. The truth is that qualified AA have lost job opportunities because of their names on an application. When they decided to change their names, they receive multiple callbacks from jobs. Proof that jobs don't pick based on qualifications.
@@Happyisland1980 OK you keep saying this but leaving out the part that all the latest studies show that high performing minorities are getting a far higher number of jobs and promotions. While fringe or low performing are not given the chance. And the top reason cited is DEI initiatives. Employers are LESS willing to take a risk on minority candidates because they can't fire, discipline, or bring them on for a trial period the same as non minorities. So all this DEI has created a caste system for minorities.
@brianlevine249 I'm not going to deny that the system is not perfect and I love talking with people that have a different opinion, but I have to go. We can probably finish this discussion another time. I would just like to end today's discussion by saying that people think affirmative action is for black people only. It is for women too. How does this affect us?
Affirmative action was never a good solution. Fixing public schools is the real challenge and its such complex problem but for sure, it starts in the homes.
Affirmative action lowered the standards for everybody, and now, nobody understands the trick that it is, not even the courts. "It is a policy that claims, by its own premise, that minorities are not as intelligent as white people", (which is racist in itself as a policy), and that is not true. Minorities should be insulted, but nobody sees this correctly. Those ideas come from the likes of margret sanger, hitler and communism as a whole. So this tool was used to lower the standards of everybody, (how is your math?). Neither the color of the skin, or the type of genitals, has anything to do with the thoughts of the mind. Your mind is like your body. The more we exercise it, the better it gets also, (I learned that myself after almost flunking HS and doing much better in college,---much much better). It is an evil trick, based on a false premise, that is designed to lower the thinking of the entire citizenry,---------------------------------------------and it worked!!!!!!!! Doug in Michigan
@@robmichael8136 And cultural perspectives. Having different voices in the room makes for a richer education. What is true equality? Are you saying the poor (bottom 1%) have the same educational outcomes as the top 1%? It's a capitalist society it has no 'true" equality. Even public school districts are divided by the rich and poor and unfortunately blacks and Latinos are usually the poorest in society due to many factors. I guess we should just leave them all in the ghettos of America and never give them a helping hand other than food stamps?
@@j4288 Love the conversation, thank you. True equality will never exist. We can both agree on that. My wife lived in the worst neighborhood in Minneapolis growing up and her family was on full welfare. Capitalism isn't perfect, but it's better then the alternatives. So do you think it's ok to discriminate against people based on their race so we can have more racial diversity on campus? Maybe we should mandate political diversity on campus as well so we don't have such over representation of progressive vs conservative professors, so that it's a more accurate and diverse representation of the country. Would you be ok with that too? We need equality under the law, life isn't fair and everyone should understand that, and people shouldn't be denied based off being the wrong skin color over someone else that tests lower, simply because it's ok to pigeon-hole who someone is off of their skin color--Just for color representation sake. I think your position is very discriminatory.
It's pretty simple. America has a centuries-long history of discrimination, the effects of which are still being felt to this day. As a result, members of minority groups are at a significant disadvantage compared to majority groups, and _true_ equality requires us to actively work to alleviate those disadvantages.
I am not a white American I am an American, I am not a color, I am a person with the same rights as any person no more no less.

Children in the Detroit school system might very well be victims of an inadequate school system. But not due to funding. The school system there is funded at almost 50% higher than schools in Florida. This affect students in the Detroit area of all races. The subject should be looked into heavily on the basis of miss use of funds. Not properly allocating money to provide The best education should not only be a criminal act but is an issue of morality.
The thought that the one spot in a university by a minority is ridiculous due to the fact that the majority of the seats that are held by the majority of the applicates. It goes against the equal rights and cival rights act that were implemented in the nineteen sixties. It is despicable.
you guys just dont get it do ya? Affirmative actions help minority students who are behind in the first place because the system is already against the since the very beginning. These minority students would never have a chance to keep up simply the odds are stacked against them. School conditions? horrible Textbooks and other supplies? basically non existent because lacks of support and fund Teachers' qualiity? even in the area where majority of white students attend, the quality is lower than average let alone in these predominantly black families reside. Merit based? yes it's good if everyone has an equal playing field to begin with
So we don’t need it but we have to help colleges “navigate the landscape”??? Shouldn’t they have already been bringing in students based solely off merit?? They weren’t and will continue not to if they need help accepting human beings solely on merit, not all of the other tactics used to bring people in. Are we going to stop allowing people to buy their way into school? Are we going to make sure that the student and faculty bodies stay diverse?? Because there’s still racist practices happening in pretty much all Ivy League colleges that aren’t HBCUs….I mean people still go to HBCUs because of discrimination. My brother attended both Harvard and Duke Med and he still faces discrimination to this day. He’s now moving on after being a chief resident and nothing has changed. I faced discrimination at my colleges as well. So what’s the real agenda here?? Because if people are still saying there’s racism and discrimination happening, shouldn’t we be taking that into consideration?? And these Supreme Court judges all have BEEN through school/college. My goodness how old are they to be making these decisions??? When are we going to vote on the retirement age from ALL JOBS, including government, being cut off at a certain point? Shouldn’t it be 65?? Clearly we’re not paying attention to how we’re functioning now as a society while being able to look historically back and to the future for our next generations. I just see a bunch of tearing down and not helping. We’re not thinking, just destroying….what is any of this helping??
Trump's court hasn't reversed this ruling. Trump would have to get elected in 2024 then have a challenge to this ruling come up for the SCOTUS under him to reinstall affirmative action and reverse racial justice.
"We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness." Institutionalized racism against white and asian college applicants with the goal of fulfilling skin color quotas has finally been declared unconstitutional, like we always knew it was.
Some people seem to have a high opinion of human intelligence by assuming it’s common sense to recruit students based on qualifications and not greed and reputation. Common sense has nothing to do with how the world actually works. This is naive. Racism and slavery was common sense not so long ago and look where we are still. Please study your history and learn more about how businesses work. Schools, even Ivy League schools, can be considered businesses with how they manage and use resources to build up their reputation. Let’s not pretend these schools are truly great at educating but primarily just provide its students connections for guaranteeing high paying and influential jobs due to their reputation alone. That’s really what you pay and commit to get. RUclips videos of classes from those schools are enough to educated leisurely any decent student and it’s free. This is similar to the tech industry with engineers that worked at Google and are often sought out as founders, for example. You can be an amazing Engineer self taught, minority, older and not educated in Silicon Valley and still be discriminated from high caliber opportunities because some of these business investors come from Ivy Leagues schools and think they are entitled to certain people that share their pedigree. It’s non sense not common sense. Laws help provide a level of fairness that normally will be disregarded in favor of shortcuts for making a profit and increasing their quotas.try this simple exercise. Next time you see or listen to someone (business, politician, etc) consider where their went to school. If you think they’re intelligent or idiots then wonder if you could do better. Now look up just how much politics and non qualified requirements are really needed to get into these schools. If you or you family wanted to go there, and your not part of the top % you are not getting in. If you are a minority definitely not. Those that did got lucky or likely as part of this affirmative action process. Then think about how that makes you and maybe your family feel. I am positive you could do better than most of these entitled morons running our country because they got “lucky” to get into these schools, and I question if they even actually learn even a third of the education taught but focused on parties and other events that encouraged networking because that’s obviously more important than actual education. Think about it and share with others…
The parking lot analogy fails to consider the case where every school or majority of schools use affirmative action. That would correspond to not getting that one spot, then driving to another store and there is also a free but unavailable spot, and then another store, and another store…

Then, Thomas may change his skin if he feels bad about been given the chance to study due to his race. He seems to be very selfish, because he knows that his case of success is not the rule, but the exception.
He was nominated to replace thurshall marshall a BLACK supreme court justice. Yes he is. He even admitted to benefit from AA. Me personally opposed to AA.
Since the beginning of the country, the concept of "judicial review" has allowed the Supreme Court and other courts to rule on whether or not laws passed by the legislature are constitutional. Specifically, the concept of judicial review was established in 1803 in the case Marbury v. Madison. This gives the court the power to approve or disapprove of certain laws. In this instance, the Supreme Court ruled that affirmative action was unconstitutional because it violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Clarence Thomas grew up in negative and dysfunctional homes. As a result, he had low-esteem and a severely profound lack self-confidence. His view that Affirmative Action undermined his academic credibility at Yale Law, and necessarily and similarly undermines all other non-whites, was him projecting. The recent Frontline documentary about him and his wife is all you ever need to see to understand how Clarence's jacked-up childhood is at the root of his problems (e.g., self-loathing, victimizing women etc).
I'm not really interested in his personal history, to me the only question is whether the ruling is in line with the law. To me, in this case, it obviously is. This is treating people differently according to their race. It's literally discrimination. There is no reason we should be more comfortable just because it's only negatively affecting white people. We all agree anti-black discrimination was bad, and still is when it occurs. Two wrongs don't make a right. You don't discriminate in the opposite direction to fix it. These schools don't even believe in affirmative action, they are doing this to avoid getting yelled at about the composition of their student body. The research is clear: affirmative action applicants are not helped by this system. They end up in an academic environment that they can't handle. It's purely a form of posturing. I am a research academic, and we have some anonymous submission places where people can talk about this. Even the women and people of color are speaking out against it: they are just as uncomfortable with blatant discrimination in the hiring process as anyone else is. They want to be hired for their skills, period. They don't want to feel like their race or sex is what got them in. You say Clarence's perception that others didn't think he earned his spot is "projecting"...but that is literally what we are talking about here! We are talking about a certain percentage of minority applicants being admitted regardless of whether they meet the academic standard...so...of course people wonder about how you got admitted! In the anonymous submissions, there was a report of a hiring committee where the head said straight up "we are only looking for a woman here". If there is only one female candidate, that's who they take...and we have some some absurd hires occur this way among people who don't have even the basic credentials. It really is happening this way, and yes, colleagues do wonder about it.

Same in Baltimore, MD with 24% of high schoolers with a GPA

Turns out they were getting enough money from State and Federal funding per student to send them all to the best K-12 private schools in the state! And detroit test scores were abysmal.
The hard work that needs to be done to increase the percentage of black and Hispanic students at the top schools can not be done by universities. Instead it must be done by parents and students.
I assure you, they very much are. The problem is that despite putting in the same amount of work, they aren't being given the same consideration as white students. This is what Affirmative Action is meant to correct.

California Prop 209 replaced affirmative action in 1996. The measure eliminate state and local government affirmative action programs in the areas of public employment, public education, and public contracting to the extent these programs involve "preferential treatment" based on race, sex, color, ethnicity, or national origin.
I applied for Cal back in 1991 and was denied because the university wanted more black and brown students. A few years later, the university had a class action lawsuit for discrimination. Hence Prop 209.
Thanks to Prop 209. Students are accepted to the University they applied to based on their achievements and merit. Universities have the highest Asian students enrollment.
32.2% Asian. 22.5% Hispanic/Latino. 22.2% White. 4.5% African American.

Finally
I grew up in a small Florida town and went to the exact same schools as the black community, with my elementary and middle schools directly in the black community. As in a number of black students could walk to school. We ALL then graduated to the same high school. And, I was raised in the definition of lower income household. We lived in a neighborhood of ALL mobile homes. So, for my specific life situation, I was considered a lower class student. I had to personally pay my own tuition and unfortunately never completed even an Associate of Arts degree. My point is “Why should students of color have gotten a different acceptance standard than me?” And “Why should students of color get greater financial assistance than me?”
It's sad that instead of elevating public school standards and support, the bar is lowered at the University level. If this is the reason for affirmative action, then I am against it.
Oh the politicians that those districts support DESPERATELY need those public schools to perform poorly. Then they can scream -ism and rake in the votes.

Schools are funded with budget from that city and county.
So if you live in Beverly Hill, school can have pool, air conditioning, etc
If you live in Compton, school can't even fix broken window.
State must distribute all school funds EQUALLY to each school.
So all students have opportunity to apply to college.
This is a states issue. A locality issue even. Property taxes vary by city, county, etc. and to "pool" them all and equally distribute would be hard. It would require a lot of undoing of previous levies and enacting new taxes as well.

@@brianlevine249 Pathetic reply...
Nine states in the United States have banned race-based affirmative action: California (1996), Washington (1998, rescinded 2022), Florida (1999), Michigan (2006), Nebraska (2008), Arizona (2010), New Hampshire (2012), Oklahoma (2012), and Idaho (2020).
Race-based admissions is unfair and illegal. Asian children get hurt and so do white children. I am white and this is offensive. Legacy admission also seems unjust on the surface. But comparing it to other things DOES seem that it is allowable. FOR EXAMPLE: As a business owner, can I offer a discount to prior customers? Can I bump them to the front of the line for repairs? These things seem perfectly legal, though maybe not always wise in business. Not everyone is treated equally - there is a preference for prior customers. Is education a business?
I just would like to point out that in a few years, the group that got rid of this will need it. Who will be the minority in 10 to 20 years? This decision opens the door for jobs to decide to not hire because of skin color. Congratulations guys! Cheer now and cry with your grandchildren later.
Who do you think will be the majority?
By in fact, AA was racist. Every college or job should have nothing to do with the race of a person but the merit. There are those in every race that work their butts off to get to the better college or job that came from poor backgrounds. Race shouldn't be the qualifying quality that makes it where you get into college or a job. As far as jobs go no application should ever ask what race just job qualifications . You can't ask for equality in one breath while believing that you need special privileges to achieve.
@owllove992 We never care until it happens to us or someone that we love. Never forget this discussion. In a few years you will think about this discussion. The truth is that qualified AA have lost job opportunities because of their names on an application. When they decided to change their names, they receive multiple callbacks from jobs. Proof that jobs don't pick based on qualifications.
@@Happyisland1980 OK you keep saying this but leaving out the part that all the latest studies show that high performing minorities are getting a far higher number of jobs and promotions. While fringe or low performing are not given the chance. And the top reason cited is DEI initiatives.

So all this DEI has created a caste system for minorities.

We can probably finish this discussion another time. I would just like to end today's discussion by saying that people think affirmative action is for black people only. It is for women too. How does this affect us?

Affirmative action was never a good solution. Fixing public schools is the real challenge and its such complex problem but for sure, it starts in the homes.
Affirmative action lowered the standards for everybody, and now, nobody understands the trick that it is, not even the courts. "It is a policy that claims, by its own premise, that minorities are not as intelligent as white people", (which is racist in itself as a policy), and that is not true. Minorities should be insulted, but nobody sees this correctly. Those ideas come from the likes of margret sanger, hitler and communism as a whole. So this tool was used to lower the standards of everybody, (how is your math?). Neither the color of the skin, or the type of genitals, has anything to do with the thoughts of the mind. Your mind is like your body. The more we exercise it, the better it gets also, (I learned that myself after almost flunking HS and doing much better in college,---much much better). It is an evil trick, based on a false premise, that is designed to lower the thinking of the entire citizenry,---------------------------------------------and it worked!!!!!!!! Doug in Michigan

@@j4288 Love the conversation, thank you. True equality will never exist. We can both agree on that. My wife lived in the worst neighborhood in Minneapolis growing up and her family was on full welfare. Capitalism isn't perfect, but it's better then the alternatives.
So do you think it's ok to discriminate against people based on their race so we can have more racial diversity on campus? Maybe we should mandate political diversity on campus as well so we don't have such over representation of progressive vs conservative professors, so that it's a more accurate and diverse representation of the country. Would you be ok with that too?
We need equality under the law, life isn't fair and everyone should understand that, and people shouldn't be denied based off being the wrong skin color over someone else that tests lower, simply because it's ok to pigeon-hole who someone is off of their skin color--Just for color representation sake.

It's pretty simple. America has a centuries-long history of discrimination, the effects of which are still being felt to this day. As a result, members of minority groups are at a significant disadvantage compared to majority groups, and _true_ equality requires us to actively work to alleviate those disadvantages.

She was so inarticulate, it was a chore trying to understand what she was saying.
Some people seem to have a high opinion of human intelligence by assuming it’s common sense to recruit students based on qualifications and not greed and reputation.
Common sense has nothing to do with how the world actually works. This is naive. Racism and slavery was common sense not so long ago and look where we are still.
Please study your history and learn more about how businesses work. Schools, even Ivy League schools, can be considered businesses with how they manage and use resources to build up their reputation.
Let’s not pretend these schools are truly great at educating but primarily just provide its students connections for guaranteeing high paying and influential jobs due to their reputation alone. That’s really what you pay and commit to get. RUclips videos of classes from those schools are enough to educated leisurely any decent student and it’s free.
This is similar to the tech industry with engineers that worked at Google and are often sought out as founders, for example. You can be an amazing Engineer self taught, minority, older and not educated in Silicon Valley and still be discriminated from high caliber opportunities because some of these business investors come from Ivy Leagues schools and think they are entitled to certain people that share their pedigree. It’s non sense not common sense.
Laws help provide a level of fairness that normally will be disregarded in favor of shortcuts for making a profit and increasing their quotas.try this simple exercise. Next time you see or listen to someone (business, politician, etc) consider where their went to school. If you think they’re intelligent or idiots then wonder if you could do better. Now look up just how much politics and non qualified requirements are really needed to get into these schools. If you or you family wanted to go there, and your not part of the top % you are not getting in. If you are a minority definitely not. Those that did got lucky or likely as part of this affirmative action process.
Then think about how that makes you and maybe your family feel. I am positive you could do better than most of these entitled morons running our country because they got “lucky” to get into these schools, and I question if they even actually learn even a third of the education taught but focused on parties and other events that encouraged networking because that’s obviously more important than actual education.

He was nominated to replace thurshall marshall a BLACK supreme court justice. Yes he is. He even admitted to benefit from AA. Me personally opposed to AA.
Diversity program is different from race-considered admission. Stop mixing up concepts and criticizing people being racist.
So... they did exactly what MLK Jr would have wanted.
Aren't they supposed to review Laws? Since when do they review society and Make Laws???
What law did they make?
What are you babbling about?
Since the beginning of the country, the concept of "judicial review" has allowed the Supreme Court and other courts to rule on whether or not laws passed by the legislature are constitutional. Specifically, the concept of judicial review was established in 1803 in the case Marbury v. Madison. This gives the court the power to approve or disapprove of certain laws. In this instance, the Supreme Court ruled that affirmative action was unconstitutional because it violated the Equal Protection Clause of the 14th Amendment.
Race has impact, so does health, wealth, intelligence, etc and we shouldn’t regulate all that.
Clarence Thomas grew up in negative and dysfunctional homes. As a result, he had low-esteem and a severely profound lack self-confidence. His view that Affirmative Action undermined his academic credibility at Yale Law, and necessarily and similarly undermines all other non-whites, was him projecting. The recent Frontline documentary about him and his wife is all you ever need to see to understand how Clarence's jacked-up childhood is at the root of his problems (e.g., self-loathing, victimizing women etc).
I'm not really interested in his personal history, to me the only question is whether the ruling is in line with the law. To me, in this case, it obviously is. This is treating people differently according to their race. It's literally discrimination. There is no reason we should be more comfortable just because it's only negatively affecting white people. We all agree anti-black discrimination was bad, and still is when it occurs. Two wrongs don't make a right. You don't discriminate in the opposite direction to fix it.
These schools don't even believe in affirmative action, they are doing this to avoid getting yelled at about the composition of their student body. The research is clear: affirmative action applicants are not helped by this system. They end up in an academic environment that they can't handle.
It's purely a form of posturing. I am a research academic, and we have some anonymous submission places where people can talk about this. Even the women and people of color are speaking out against it: they are just as uncomfortable with blatant discrimination in the hiring process as anyone else is. They want to be hired for their skills, period. They don't want to feel like their race or sex is what got them in.
You say Clarence's perception that others didn't think he earned his spot is "projecting"...but that is literally what we are talking about here! We are talking about a certain percentage of minority applicants being admitted regardless of whether they meet the academic standard...so...of course people wonder about how you got admitted! In the anonymous submissions, there was a report of a hiring committee where the head said straight up "we are only looking for a woman here". If there is only one female candidate, that's who they take...and we have some some absurd hires occur this way among people who don't have even the basic credentials. It really is happening this way, and yes, colleagues do wonder about it.
@@geometerfpv2804 HE interjected his personal history into how he sees this particular legal issue. HE had done this before and since getting on the SCOTUS. HIS personal history is his rationale for why HE does not agree with affirmative action in principle or theory.
@@geometerfpv2804 wouldn’t be awesome if it was just that simple and we all just got mass amnesia about the history of this country and the still prevailing conditions from that history? It would make your opinion here succinctly appropriate. But in this divisiveness and we can’t help even evaluate facts before we can even discuss this. Elections do have consequences and they are not done dismantling and I bet this will be a thrilling court for you. Enjoy!!
Detroit is a dem run city you geniuses😂😂😂😂😂
Probably a strong sign there won't be any debt relief, oh well, time to get crushed.
How do you diversify your school without considering race? By double speaking your way to whitewashing it.
You like diversity over actual results.
We should apply your standard to the NBA.
@@robmichael8136 Oh no...don't mention stuff like that. Or diversify teachers. Require schools have 50% male teachers.
@@robmichael8136 You would think that's a great analogy. We're not talking about someone paying you for doing your job, althought that will be next, we're talking about educating a willing populous where recieving that education should not be based on race but had to be, results didn't matter, otherwise AA wouldn't have needed to be created in the first place. Let's not forget, there was a time when blacks were not allowed to learn at all, and that now we are headed back to that.
@@NorbyatManeuvers Nonsense. Some blacks flourish, some whites struggle.
It's actually disrespectful, (and I would argue racist) to tell black people that they aren't capable to flourish without AA. Asians are actually a smaller minority here then blacks and they seem to be getting on just fine.
AA and discrimination for and against others based on race and merit has long run its course.
Honestly, I think it is time for it to end -- they need to just admit based on academic qualifications period === skin color should not enter into this.
