Well, if black students supposedly have higher levels of student debt than white students, the thing to do is to have a sliding scale of $10,000 to $50,000 for the amount of debt to be forgiven. To get more than $10,000 you have to produce results from a DNA testing company showing what percentage of sub-Saharan ancestry you have.

Actually, if their argument was correct, the better case would be to make a sliding scale based upon wealth. That way, to the extent blacks have less wealth, they would receive a greater benefit. But it also would mean that wealthier blacks wouldn't get more of a benefit than poor whites. Of course, that's not what those black activists are interested in, because to them, a black person should always get more than a white person.

I think the entire concept of paying off student debt is completely unfair to the working class. I remember fellow students in law school who were leftists nevertheless clamoring for cheaper tuition. I'd call them out on it, and say that how is it fair for people who are likely to be far wealthier than average getting tuition support, when working class people who never get to college at all get nothing? You could see the argument almost terrifying them mentally, and they'd just gloss over it.

Pathetic elitist hypocrites.
