I I’m glad she said it equality of opportunity, that’s not the same as equality of outcome. Just because you have the same opportunities does not mean you will end up the same as someone who had the same opportunities. The outcome is designed to be different and I believe that is fair.

What Given is saying is that racism, cheating, discrimination and inequality, which is not Merit is way more important than diversity… .When and if Hijack is capable of getting rid of Systemic Racism and The Racist Social Engineering, and Stop Using Minorities as Social Experiments,, then maybe it would interested in his opinions, right now I would just settle fkr Polygraphing just to how much Merit some of these people really,actually have… Polygraphing would be a more truer measurement tool these days…

Using race as a scapegoat for the affirmative action argument is ridiculous when the majority of people who benefited from affirmative action were white women. There are plenty of people from all ethnicities with intelligence and high test scores, but everyone will not receive the same opportunities. Let's stop being delusional.
@soufwesthoustontx
January 8, 2024 at 4:48 pm
This man is an idiot to claim we shouldn't hire people that aren't qualified implying people who benefit from diversity programs don't qualify for positions. Then to say there's nothing that people in public schools couldn't accomplish in comparison to him when he was in public school is irrelevant to the issue. Not to mention he didn't graduate from a public school so why even mention public schools.
@leahrenee0525
January 8, 2024 at 4:48 pm
I used to get quite upset when I would have to circle “white” just because I thought that the people would think I was just like a lot of other kids. Too basic. Nothing special. But no one can change who they are! It’s ridiculous, “meritocracy over race based preferences.”

America, where's your mf pride? OMG.
I hate a lot of the things news (especially CNN) does, but I hate Vivek Ramaswamy much much more. Vivek sounds like an AI trying to become president so he can hand the keys to a hidden agenda much darker than anything we've ever witnessed. I'm talking wiping America off the planet, and rolling the red carpet for a WW. There's no heart in his words. He's a lying, drunk, "copy and paste the nuclear code on TikTok" challenge waiting to happen.
This kid is NOT America! LMMFAO that he's gotten this much air time for views.

Introduce legislation, that links nationwide average SAT score of African America students to corporate tax rate, bigger the SAT score: lower the rate. Don't know if this would work right away, but, at least this issue will be taken seriously, instead of putting a brandade on it and calling it fixed.

It would be nice if we lived in a perfect world but we don't. We have to deal with the reality of what exists. If education is the key as many experts agree, thtn limiting those opportunities doesn't improve the situation. Family is inpirtant but it cannot achirve success as an isolated factor. This guy proposes a simplistic approach to problems. Its like saying we can end poverty by just printing more money. Please let's try living in the real world.
@rickeymiller8998
January 8, 2024 at 4:48 pm
He, like many, doesn't understand what "affirmative action" is for. Also, he doesn't compare to those "black kids" that he went to school with either. Suppose that they wanted to get rid of the things that permitted his parents to come into the US….would he be cool with that? The bs about not having 2 parents in the house is a load of crap. It's a good cop out, but it's still a load of crap. He can't "address the family structure"…LOL That is another good line that catches the ears of many, but there's not one thing he can do for that. The only reason that he's minutely accepted by so many is his financial status. He can speak all that he wants about his "views", but they're hollow because he cannot see the rest of the world from his permissable high tower. People that are in his circle are there because of his financial status. I bet that he wouldn't take an honest look at that group and tell of the "whos" that are in it.

@klydebroox7178

He took an affirmative action scholarship now he is shitting on affirmative action because he thinks that resonates with Republicans. The fact that he pins affirmative action on race shows he has a racial bias because affirmative action is also about gender and benefitted White women in America more than Black people. Vivek the FAKF is anti-Black. He must remember how the White cop ran over the student from India with a police-car and then his supervisor laughed about it and said her life wasn’t worth much $11000. It could have been Vivek when he was going to law school on the George Soros scholarship. I wish he would see this comment. He claims to be about “truth” This is the TRUTH speaking.

Jose: there should be no affirmative action for college admission, incentive
Anchor : alternative?
Jose : by having more vision , family formation, early childhood education
Anchor should have asked that buffoon, have you done anything in your life time as a politician to start family formation, early childhood education?
The buffoon would have left the interview
Lesson: never trust a politician buzz words filled with air, they are for votes and votes only. Afterwards that same monkey would have his name in Panama scandal

POND (people of Neanderthal decent | scientifically-Caucasoid/Neanderthal hybrids) need to remove affirmative action from the military as they removed it from scholarly institutions, a lot of hypocrisy, to recognise the strength of certain fields and remove it from another. Legacy admissions have to be remove to make a complete merit based admissions.

IQ difference and how many hours your study effects you educational outcome. It has noting to do with white privilege or whatever. Asians have very high IQ and also happens to study more hours that any other group…. thats why they are the top.

If 100% of the students/workers at Harvard or a major U.S. corporation were a certain ethnicity and they were all the most qualified in the pool of applicants that's still equality and a meritocracy. It's a harsh reality of equality but people have to accept it.
@shaggysmoothie85
January 8, 2024 at 4:48 pm
Ah yes, the college racket. The abrogation of affirmative action is a tough pill to swallow, but a harder to pill to swallow is students/job applicants who are more qualified not offered a seat at a college or employment.

Inclusion don’t change the standards .. you still have to be qualified.. people like this don’t care,. Bro you got help, you actually used a scholarship for immigrant kids!! And didn’t even need the money but took it! Robenson went to Yale also on inclusion, he was a director for equal opportunity., and director for discrimination of school. Then he get in office and act like it don’t exist. Just like this fool.

We don’t need children to choose the best schools, we need to make all our schools the best schools—change how we teach subjects, put our teachers through some civics, and make sure they are there for all children—not just the ones they like or the ones their political views align with
