Good points.
I used to know college friends whose parents were proud and caring that their kids were getting a degree.
I’m talking about black students such as my best friend at the time. 1964-1968 at Wayne State University which had the largest black enrollment of any non traditionally black university in the US. Another friend was the only guy who never wore jeans at any time. He said his father and others had to wear jeans at work every day and he vower he wasn’t going to stay at the bottom. He ended up as a host on NPR.
Affirmative action hadn’t taken hold yet so people were qualified or not qualified based on merit. I know East Coast universities had family alumni admissions, though.
Families holding together produce at least a chance that children will go on to better lives. I’m afraid that era has been over for a while. Father absent. No church attendance. No family dinners or outings. Just individuals staring at screens for 11 hours a day.
>>EVERY advanced civilization (including the black ones)

Yep and the magic word to get what you want? “I’m offended”
“EVERY advanced civilization (including the black ones) has an advanced vocabulary and can talk eloquently.”
Please name one advanced black civilization. Just one please.
Have them listen to Joe Biden speeches. He has invented many new words.
Jomo Kenyatta said that the colonialists teach African children what they think they need to know, “like how to pick coffee with both hands.” How could the founder of Kenya be so wrong?/s
Thank you. I was blessed with good parents. He was ordained into the ministry in 1955 and served until about 2000. He died in 2008. Cumberland Presbyterian minister. He grew up Southern Baptist. His mother was an absolute saint. She had the sweetest disposition of anyone I ever knew. I miss them all. I will turn 66 next month.
The Ottoman Empire.
Now that’s not “black” per se, nor African… but definitely dark skinned people.
So it’s racist to say an ethnic group is fat, lazy, and stupid. It’s racist to help the ethnic group to Not be fat, lazy, stupid.
It’s even racist to suggest that a ethnic group may be fat, lazy, and stupid.
This is the logic of the left. Saying they want to help ethnic groups and no one else can help cause that’s racist.
Sounds logical to me…. // sarc
You’re welcome FRiend.
“The Ottoman Empire. Now that’s not “black” per se, nor African… but definitely dark skinned people.”
You’re right—The Ottoman Empire (Turkey) was not black. Not sure what the dark skinned people you refer to are, but racially, Turks are considered Caucasian.
So just to be clear, my point was there is no advanced African civilization known in the history of the world.
Oooga! Babooga! Now ooga babooga! Class dismissed.
Kids raised in poverty by a television and an illiterate grandmother are exposted to about 32 million fewer words by age 4 than a typical middle-class child. (See; https://www.nytimes.com/2012/10/07/nyregion/for-poor-schoolchildren-a-poverty-of-words.html)
It’s racist as hell to insist that’s okay.
How to fix it? Unlike the NY Slimes conclusion to spend more money on pre-K, how about we stop incentivizing poverty?
Good for her! She is what we need.
He discusses in great historical depth how the left destroyed the black family and is now taking their sorry show to other races.
The Romneyites tried to primary him out of congress but were soundly defeated. I'm trusting the same will happen with their CIA senate candidate Egg McMuffin.
UK university is not an USA one.
Edge Hill University is a campus-based public university in Ormskirk, Lancashire, England, which opened in 1885 as Edge Hill College, the first non-denominational teacher training college for women in England, before admitting its first male students in 1959. Wikipedia
