75 America Colleges Offer Black Only Graduation

[Vern Humphrey]

Sounds like Biker Night. I went once to a strip club on Biker Night. Lord. I wish I could block that out. Fat chicks. Fat chicks and ugly chicks with no athletic ability. If the point was to bring in guys I think it failed. I was there for about five minutes. So it goes to show that some business plans are doomed. Aside from that, the weirdo(not all of it) Catholic church is a little creepy, but I don't like religion much anyway. Oh, black colleges. Hey, did you see the clip where the smart black guy gave the commencement speech? At the end he "gifted" the whole college with suspended costs for their education. He is an adherant to The Rich Guys vow to give away his fortune to the needy. So a bunch of black kids DONT learn the lesson that you pay back your loans/debt.

I have no objection to paying for someone's education -- as long as they GET an education. Student loans, while originally well-meant, turned into a bonanza for the educrats -- they keep raising prices because the kids "can always borrow more." They steal the kids' life savings before they even earn anything!

And when we go to "free college" a la Bernie Sanders and the other National Socialists, we will be giving the colleges a vacuum cleaner to suck money out of our pockets.

IIRC student loans were originally intended to bridge the gap between what parents and schools and private financial aid offered and what students needed. Instead for too many they are the ONLY way they can pay for higher education. It was the Democrats in the Carter Administration who made student loans non-dischargeable in bankruptcy, while easing the bankruptcy laws and paving the way for scam companies like Enron, WorldCom, etc.
Meanwhile a teenage girl can have a baby at 15 and receive $40-60,000 a year in welfare benefits.

I'm a supporter of 'segregation of bathrooms';
At my Library the Ladies and Mens rooms now show male and female signage
on their respective doors, plus, what was once the Mens has the wheelchair sign.
I don't use either as I suspect I might be attacked by some mad woman seeking
to rob me of my virtue.

For many years, the National Socialists screeched, "NO woman would have a baby just to draw welfare!"

You notice they don't say it anymore -- the evidence is too clear that in some segments of the population having a child out of wedlock is a rite of passage. "I have a baby, I get a check and an apartment."

And then what? Imagine a 16 year old girl sitting in an apartment, staring at the walls and listening to a squalling baby. Is it any wonder drug abuse is so rampant?

A squawling baby ?
1. It hasn't had its diapers changed.
2. It hasn't been fed.
3. Its food money is being spent on drugs.

You got it -- and it's the start of the next generation on welfare -- by now about the sixth.

What's the short term answer? You guys don't want that pregnancy prevented or aborted, and you don't want the state involved. Just like to bitch about welfare queens I guess.

If welfare was cut 50% the labor shortage would be over. Too many years dealing with the "entitled" has led me to a jaundiced opinion of them. Work is a four letter word to them, to be avoided at all cost...save theirs.

Part of the problem is, we have no strategy. Every department of government has a poverty program. So who's in charge? Who ties all these programs together? Who coordinates them?

For example, subsidized housing is built in poor areas. And no one asks "why are these people poor?" And one answer is "Because there are no jobs in that area."

Why the hell do we want to house poor people in an area where there are no jobs? That's not helping them, that's the poverty trap!

I think any short term answer will lead to long term problems, just like the original answer in 1964 (or whenever it was started)

just like most gov't programs, gotta spend more than last year to keep your budget,
bureaucracy building bureaucracy, etc etc,


if we ever modify or get rid of welfare, or change the system, it will likely hurt folks in the short run which means scare tactics etc by one if not both parties, ,

4. It's up to someone else to care for it.

You have summed up the situation beautifully!

Poverty was falling after WWII and continued to fall until 1969 when the Great Society programs kicked in. For the next 40 years, it hovered around 13%, up a tick, down a tick. For the promise of short term gain (which never really materialized) we accepted long term failure.
