I would agree with you if all education was private and not secured by taxes.

As long as it is secured by taxes, then it - what the taxes help - should go where it is most needed as a government operation, which usually means where it is needed most.

So IF, and I say IF, we are dealing with a tax-supported education institution, and if we are talking about handing out “free tuition” then I’d simply rather see it go to where the student is academically qualified but most in need of the tuition assistance. At least THAT would not prejudice anyone due to their race or ethnicity.

When we no longer are already tax supporting such schools to start with, then I’ll agree with you.

Are these generous students going to foot the bill?

So they get into college on their skin color, they get free tuition, they get promoted because they are black in spite of failure, they get job offers that whitey doesn’t get, they get to accuse anyone on the job of racism to cover up for their failures, and after all that they still blame us for their self-inflicted failures.

Slave Reparations? Are there many 150 year old students attending the college?

So called White Guilt is out of control.

Founding Fathers were geniuses and we are indebted to them yet they were mere mortals. They did make an enormous mistake not abolishing slavery outright. Then the United Kingdom and other colonial powers would have to be the face of this stupidity for generations. Irony is not lost, for these colonies are now colonizing their former masters.

Speed up to the Civil War. I won't debate the merits but will say that Lincoln also did the wrong thing by not humanly sending every single former slave and extended family back to be repatriated. The consequences upon our republic and Constitution are devastating for not doing this.

All of this garbage of reparations and activism is the liberal machine behind the scenes that is determined to destroy America. These imbecile kids are the useful idiots and always have been.

Yes, it is free money from the government and is basically a bribe to keep them voting Democrat.
