Looks like RFK Jr. supports affirmative action.

Let's, for the sake of argument, say that's true. Is the answer really to let in blacks at six times the rate of whites, or whatever, when they have the same score?
I wish these people would be open about exactly what it is they're talking about. Exactly who is being affected, both negatively and positively, and if that's fair. It's all well and good to say 'racism bad, we should do something about that,' but that's not what this court case is about. This isn't about diversity. It isn't about racism. Well, it is, but not the main kind (white-on-black) that liberals recognize.
I've heard it so much today. That this is discrimination against blacks, that this is banning them from college, this is segregation. No, this is righting some of the unfair policies that targeted races that on average performed well. It was utter bullshit, deserved to be overturned, and never should have been allowed in the first place.
These cowards need to speak clearly about what it is they're advocating for, and what questions this case actually answered.
This wasn't a referendum on Racismâ„¢, this wasn't a referendum on blacks.
It's a sad state of affairs when this lib is at the lowest my third favorite candidate, and the other two also leave varying degrees of sour taste in my mouth. We need better candidates, man. I like Trump, but he's sorta retarded. I respect some of what DeSantis has done, but I think he's snake. I like a few of RFK's takes, and appreciate that he's at least mostly anti-establishment, but he's a lib through-and-through. I want better choices, fuck.
My feeling/experience is that "black americans" are unlikely to be benefiting from these policies in the first place.
Most of the people I've seen benefit are either white women or people who's parents are from other countries - completely uninvolved in the so called "history of discrimination in the us".
