They affirmed non discrimination. They did not strike down anything. They affirmed that colleges can't disciminate Based on race. They ended one of the more blatant forms of discrimination.

Affirmative action, aka discrimination based on race, must end in all government programs immediately.

It is wrong to treat people differently based on the color of their skin. Non-white people should be the happiest about this decision. White liberals, like FJB, are most upset since it will be more difficult to divide people against each other and promote victimization to buy votes. Boycott Bud.

Agree Harry. AA should end. Yet you say "white liberals" are for dividing people but at the same time you're for companies against LGBTQ community. Everyone should be treated equally. Can't have it both ways. Unless you're a Trump cultist I guess.

Some people think, alphabet people are a race. No, they are not.

Giving preferential treatment for position, to a singular race or group is exactly what we're trying to improve. By continuing to allow such things as Affirmative Action, we perpetuate the age-old problem of raising one class above others. Neither justice or equality served in allowing it to remain.

Affirmative action is saying minorities are not as good as non-minorities and cannot succeed on their own merits. It is completely insulting to minorities and should have ended decades ago. Judge people on their merits, character, not the color of their skin. Fact FJB doesn't like this telling.

We, as a Country should be beyond racisum at this point, the only reason it still exists is because we keep it alive by always talking about it, conversation doesn't always fix these types of problems. We have the laws in place, enforce them!

The Constitution should be the bedrock of our democracy, not a 50.000001% out-of-state dark money, pay petition gathers and buy an election with false advertising gimmick. It should take way more signatures to get on the ballot and 75% of the vote during a presidential election for a change. FJB

Grabbing power away from the out-of-state dark money liberals who can't get their simps elected to the legislature and giving power back to the people where it belongs.

Because the Republicans want to control the voters instead of the voters controlling the government.

You can't possibly believe that. Everyone knows these initiative petitions are bought and paid for by out-of-state special interests who are very well funded. Constitutions should only be amended on rare occasions and it should be difficult to do, not easy to buy.

AlGore was RIGHT! Western capitalists, with their evil corporations, have caused massive man-made global warming, resulting in drought across USA. They must immediately stop producing all greenhouse gases, retire internal combustion engines & give lots of $$$ to liberals to fix the problem. FJB
