They know they lack basic skills, but don’t think that should prevent them from pretending to get four more fake years of education.
At my college there was a building with most of the “remedial classes”; these were high school-type classes affirmative action students were required to take (whites wouldn’t even be admitted to the college if they needed them). They had to spend the time and money just to bring them up to a college freshman level, and didn’t receive any college credits for the classes.
What a racket; affirmative action in college is as much a part of the “poverty industry” as social workers and Section 8 landlords. This situation continues because a lot of non-blacks make a lot of money from it.
I got stuck in one of those “remedial” English classes my freshman year, not because I couldn’t write, but because I am slow at writing by hand, and so I didn’t finish a timed essay completely during the placement exam. You would think they could judge from the part that I did finish that I shouldn’t be in that class, but I guess they needed to fill it up, so I got stuck there.
Really, there were only about one or two other people in that class who should have even been at college level, and they were foreigners. The rest of the natives in that class were black and they were hopelessly ignorant.
