RFK Jr: Affirmative Action Undoes the ‘Effects of Racist Policies’

Jordan Dixon-Hamilton 29 Jun 2023

Democrat presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. said Affirmative Action undoes the “effects of racist policies going back centuries” in response to the Supreme Court’s decision that determined racial preferences in college admissions violate the Constitution.

“Regarding the Supreme Court banning affirmative action in higher ed — I know many Americans feel that purely race-based decisions are unfair,” Kennedy tweeted. “However, this feeling misses important context. The effects of racist policies going back centuries are now self-perpetuating.”

“Affirmative action understands this and uses race-based policies to undo the effects of racist policies,” he added.

Respectfully Robert, and maybe this is why you’re still a Democrat, but you don’t solve past racism with current racism. Why would you want a second generation Asian kid who busts his ass, whose parents came here with nothing and worked hard to be discriminated against?

They blew it excluding Asian kids. You can't do the whole 'white man's oppressin' me' with people who fled communism and poverty to come here and succeed, and was never part of slavery or Jim Crow.

Whether or not Affirmative Action is a "good idea" is irrelevant.  The Constitution mandates equal protection of the laws -- not equality or fairness of outcome or results.  You can't violate the clear text of the 14th Amendment just to make things more "fair".

This country will not be improved selecting policymakers and leaders of government, business, industry, or the sciences on a basis of sexual habits or superficial characteristics.

Only advancement based on merit is the ticket to the country advancing as a whole.
Anything less is less.

Affirmative Action IS a racist policy.

"...uses race-based policies to undo the effects of racist policies..."
Racism by another name is still racism.  AA shifts the impacts and effects to others, innocent others to somehow atone for that which they had/have nothing to do with.

BullBush!

I never once saw any Trump supporter here suggesting that RFK would be a good running mate for Trump.

Put up or shut up.

 Well, for starters, I never stated any poster here wanted that. And I will acknowledge that the use of the term “many” might be a little unfair.

But there are Trump supporters who have suggested it. And you asked me to put up or shut up. Well, here’s but one example

https://www.newsweek.com/steve-bannon-robert-f-kennedy-jr-donald-trump-running-mate-2024-1796369?amp=1

I anticipate your counterpoint will be something about Ron Dedederonron, or something about Trump being orange or rude, or rich.

But I’m sure it will include one of your many strawmans
