Universities are the least accepting place for men of any color now.

Why pay a crap ton of money for an arguably worthless degree, assume huge debt, while being told daily you suck just for being a man.

Most men are opting out. Tells me theres hope left for mankind.

It depends on class. Upper class and middle class white boys probably don’t. But working class...and lower class...white boys might. Plumbing is dirty,hard work...but you’re always busy and you make good money...middle class money.

Most posters seem to miss the obvious.

If the current system based on race is eliminated then there won’t be any black or white. All this negative about “blacks” will become irrelevant and seem like rants of those out of touch with reality.

Individuals will be judged as individuals.

Collectivism is the judging of groups and not the individual.

Welcome to a future where even you and me are judged as individuals.

Good.
Merit based admissions only.

Too stupid or lazy to get into college? Tough shit.

there's plenty of black women that want better and good for them....

we have to get back to basics though....

it used to be that all college degrees would require some math, statistics, etc....

I want to see a return to vigorous academics....

the kind of academics where the students have no time to be party houses and to drink from Friday to Sunday night....

some of us are brighter and we should acknowledge that...(not me, lol)

And btw this is by design.

Reagan called it “the soft bigotry of low expectations”.

Stone and brick masons used to be dominated by blacks. Then illegal aliens moved in and stole their jobs by working so cheap that the US citizens couldn’t compete. Sound familiar?

Until black people change their culture, there will always be a problem with their children learning. At one time, New York had an 85% illegitimacy rate. It isn’t about the color of their skin.

Yes,minorities who live here legally are terribly hurt by having to compete with wetbacks...and that goes double for young minorities. They are,in fact,more seriously hurt by the Rat Party’s open borders policy than are people like me.

Nothing wrong with trade school or community college either, both can help you discover what you want to do in life.

In fact, there’s plenty RIGHT with trade school or community college.

The Boston Public School System has an exam school called Boston Latin...a school whose history goes back to the 1600s. Just recently (a year or two ago IIRC) it was announced that there would no longer be an exam to gain admission.

The reason? Too large a percentage of the student body was Asian.
