PS:

My friend’s son, who is white, took years of angry stumbling around to ever get his bearings. He had a really bad time and blamed himself to such a degree he was deeply demoralized and had lost decade in getting his footing in the real world. He had had great parents and didn’t fall into the substance abuse trap although coming near to it and had two failed marriages. He is doing well now in the private sector but the period of college and after is still a dark cloud for him.
Being the ‘right’ race may have cushioned your friend’s entrance into the real world, although I see he became part of the problem by becoming an edumacationist. His two years of liberal ‘minority mind-fxuk’ did him permanent damage as he was well trained in what is now called ‘systematic racism’, which was the goal from day one of his arrival in the halls of ivy.

Thank you for your comment. I am a little lost because I don’t have a friend whose “right race” cushioned his entrance. It seems you are responding to someone else’s comment here. However we are in agreement that the goal of college according to the teachers & administration is no longer education, nor the ability to think or reason.

I am glad your friend’s son found his way. The loss of America’s moral underpinnings and the distortion of morality fomented by the left have made it very difficult for our young people to develop a moral compass and a sense of worth.

Well, the fact is everyone has to struggle to find their place in the world, as I'm sure you know. I was watching a video over the weekend about a child actress named Jennette McCurdy, who had a big career on Nickelodeon. Even though any kid who watched her would have thought she was leading a charmed life, she was actually miserable.

The thing that's pernicious about race-based student mismatch is the way it welds race consciousness into the equation in a sort of indelible way. My friend seemed to be unconcerned about his racial identity in elementary school and high school, and none of his friends (including me) ever mentioned it except as a joke, and that was very occasional.

When he came back from the elite college he was initially admitted to (which was filled with extremely wealthy, highly privileged young people), race seemed to be all he thought about. He was hyper-conscious of it, to an extent that made me feel uncomfortable in his company, in a way I never had before. It was very sad and disturbing, and gave me a strong sense of loss and defeat.
