My son shouldn’t be favored just because he’s the kid of a Harvard alum any more than he should be disadvantaged just because he’s not black or Hispanic. — PolitiTweet.org

Here’s a good path forward for Harvard after the Supreme Court strikes down affirmative action: - No racial preferences. -No legacy admissions. Just merit. https://t.co/absE5bbdFz — PolitiTweet.org

@LVHDLVTF I spoke about that last night: I’m against it. But you’re right, I should post that clip too. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@ColoradoDCN I think there’s a deeper sense in which we’re all trying to figure that out right now. — PolitiTweet.org

No one wants affirmative action in the NBA or the NFL. We shouldn’t want it for science and engineering classes either. Excellence comes first, period. https://t.co/DCvCS4sHB1 — PolitiTweet.org

If we really care about black empowerment, we’d fix the real problems: broken schools, unstable families, & victimhood culture. Fix that instead using tokenism as a Band-Aid. Affirmative action doesn’t work: it’s racist, it hides the real problems, and creates a bunch of new ones — PolitiTweet.org

@scepticAli @maazkalim @KingJames Unlike LeBron, I also didn’t criticize Darryl Morey of the Houston Rockets for daring to say “Fight for Freedom, Stand with Hong Kong.” — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Affirmative action doesn’t serve the very groups it supposedly “helps.” The same racial groups who need it to get into college need it *again* for grad school, and *again* for getting a job. The real problem:broken public schools & unstable families in black communities. https://t.co/PKHC5oKJ0s — PolitiTweet.org

@derekahunter Not sure how familiar you are with all of my other work or books, but it may change your view. Or maybe not. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Affirmative action proponents need answer: when does it end? It’s striking that the Supreme Court hearing the case had 2 black Justices, 4 women, one Latina…who had sharply different views from one another. It’s time to stick a fork in it. I’ll discuss on @TuckerCarlson at 8pm. — PolitiTweet.org

ESG proponents will evangelize about “climate risk” and “board diversity risk,” but they do not say a peep about the #1 under-appreciated risk in capital markets today: China’s pending annexation of Taiwan. Unlike BlackRock, Strive will not bow down to the CCP. https://t.co/EdawjDLFqx — PolitiTweet.org

In January 2021, I argued in @WSJopinion that government was using big tech to censor speech through the back door that government could not censor directly. Some dismissed it as a conspiracy theory at the time, but the reality has proven worse than we feared. — PolitiTweet.org

Stakeholder capitalism isn’t just a threat to capitalism, which was Milton Friedman’s core concern. It’s a threat to democracy: it says that market actors get to settle the kinds of questions that ought to be settled by citizens. https://t.co/a63FjthHwA — PolitiTweet.org

@matthewstoller It was relevant because there was a Supreme Court case with oral arguments yesterday where Harvard was a defendant. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

The sad part is that affirmative action is now creating a new wave of anti-black racism arising from white & Asian spite that may start the cycle all over again. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

Proponents of affirmative action fail to specify what “the finish line” looks like. When does it stop? If you told a civil rights activist in 1964 that America is where it is today, they’d have said we reached the promised land and it’s laughable that we still have racial quotas. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@ultra_Lauren I think we have to pre-specify what “success” looks like, or else we risk kicking the can down the road permanently. Here’s a fun question: if in 1965 you imagined what “success” was, do you think 2022 would meet the mark? I think we’d have passed with flying colors even in 2010. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@snoogles9000 @ultra_Lauren Not really, though it’s too deep of a concept to explain via tweets. That’s why I wrote an entire book about it, came out last month. Check it out & let me know what you think. — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

@ultra_Lauren How would you measure or know when that work is done? — PolitiTweet.org

Key principles for content moderation at Twitter: - No viewpoint discrimination. That means eliminating “hate speech” as a category. - If the company wants to remove false speech, it must *prove* the speech is false first - If in doubt, let the *user* opt into filtering protocols — PolitiTweet.org

Vivek Ramaswamy @VivekGRamaswamy

One of the things that bothers me most is the explicit push to end testing and other standardized objective measures of success: it’s almost as if the institutions are already preparing for a loss at the Supreme Court and implement the same policies in less transparent ways. — PolitiTweet.org
