How many more blacks do we need with “black studies” degrees? In my college the vast majority of blacks were athletes taking useless courses or angry blacks in self segregated grievence studies. I think there were maybe 2 or 3 in the engineering program. The community college tech school had people learning trades, that I am sure, are happier and more prosperous than any of the black students at the university. Why pay a 100 thousand bucks for some angry professor to tell you you will never succeed, you are surrounded by racists, and everything is someone elses fault? Or go to tech school and learn to provide your own way in life by fixing cars and making a good living. Who has improved more lives? Don Lemon or Jamal the auto mechanic?
Agreed. Your comments make me think of an article I read in National Review’s annual education issue some years back and they discussed how particularly appalling the situation in California is concerning basically useless courses and study programs (history of rap music, etc) with the public universities and their ways of keeping their minority numbers at a certain level with such courses and programs.
“In my college the vast majority of blacks were athletes taking useless courses or angry blacks in self segregated grievence studies.”
Those self-segregated courses are critical to maintaining the myth that these are “students”; there is no math/science, heck - there aren’t even right & wrong answers - and they fill up with those minorities because a couple of days into their first semester they realize they have no business being in a real college-level class (in any subject) with the non-affirmative action students. I actually pitied those kids years ago when I was in college; they quickly realized they had been deceived, and hadn’t received any education at all.
