Ayanna Pressley: ‘You Can’t Be Anti-Racist’ If You’re Against Canceling Student Loan Debt

Far-left “Squad” member Rep. Ayanna Pressley (D-MA) on Monday suggested it is not possible for an individual to be “anti-racist” if they are against canceling student loan debt.

“You can’t be anti-racist if you’re anti student debt cancellation,” she said in a social media post:

Radical Democrats have pressed the Biden administration to cancel $50,000 in student loan debt — a figure Biden has failed to embrace, consistently signifying a willingness to cancel $10,000 in student loan debt.

In February, Pressley encouraged Democrats to go big on the coronavirus relief measure, calling for $2,000 monthly checks for Americans and non-citizens, including illegal aliens, as well as the cancellation of “at least $50K in student debt right now”:

Days later, Pressley tied canceling student loan debt to race, framing it as a way to “thank Black women.”

“You want to thank Black women?” she asked. “Cancel student debt — all of it. Black women carry more student debt than any other group in America.”

Rep. Pramila Jayapal , Chair of the Congressional Progressive Caucus; Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez and Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer are among high-profile Democrats calling for the Biden to effectively erase $50,000 in student loan debt.

White folks have no debt? I do not want the debt of any student erased. Im an equal opportunity advocate of paying back what you borrow.

They have redefined infrastructure.

They have redefined the genders.

They have redefined violence.

They have redefined law-enforcement.

They have redefined radical.

They have redefined politics, and now, communism and socialism are fully acceptable (to them).

They have, for the longest time now, redefined the meaning of racist.

They have redefined freedom of the press and of speech and assembly and of religion.

What’s not to like about progressives?

Wokeness is fully acceptable (to them).

When is this country going to WAKE UP, and not accept all of that ‘wokeness’ crap, and take back our country?

Don't forget tax law.

"I was paying my student loans slowly but faithfully and then they forgave $50,000 of it. Suddenly I have to pay $20,000 in federal and local taxes as loan forgiveness is considered income. I ain't got the scratch for that! The tax debt is not dischargeable under bankruptcy and neither are the student loans!"

Pretty sure the people most burdened by student loan debt are stupid white people.

My kid paid his off, about $30K in a year.

I wonder how many of thes whiners about student debt dropped out of college and surprise, still owe the money they borrowed.

Please tell me what being against taking taxpayer money to hand to somebody who borrowed $100,000 or more for an education, older taxpayers who could not afford to go to college has anything to do with race. This dud is just trying to playing the race card.
