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.

You’re anti-saver though, independent of race. Send a message that planning for the future doesn’t matter is a message of socialism.

I believe upper class white students owe a significant proportion of the debt.

Since black students are more likely to not pay back their debts, maybe we should not give student loans to black students? Or, scrutinize their degree closer to ensure it will lead to a payable job.

Cancel the debts as reparations IF they will renounce their citizenship and emigrate. They get to start over away from the country they despise and the country makes good the loss from what isn’t paid in other social programs to them and their progeny.

Shaves her head and her eyebrows but puts on big false eyelashes. She almost has a conehead going there.

Can I get reparations or a refund or whatever government perk for paying for my own and our kids’ college tuition?

Basically you can’t be Anti-Racist if you disagree with a Democrat.
