Not sure that the worst blowjob I’ve ever received (even if the toothiness was magnified by 10) would be considered “abuse”.

Apparently it has about 2/3rds of the time.

hy shouldn’t people be allowed to self-segregate?



I don’t have a problem with people choosing to self seperate, but I think doing so based on skin color, through the use of the educational system, robs black folks of a better education and the state budget of much needed money.

I’d prefer they self separated through institutions about which I have a choice in funding.
Why would Reagan be responsible for anything that happened to anyone on a national level in the 70s.

will offer a counterpoint to the "shut down schools with low graduation rates" argument. Not saying I disagree with you but the ripple effect would be terrible.

Schools with low graduation rates would either 1) close down or more likely 2) skew results to clear more students through to graduation.

The likely latter situation would further devalue the college degree as you'd have a bunch of should-be dropouts with shiny new degrees going into the labor market.

Don't lie to yourselves that these college administrators at these failing universities would roll over and watch their schools close. They would do all types of dirty things to ensure they remain open.

There are for sure no easy fixes, which is kinda why my OP contained two questions, the second one being “if so what can be done.”

And I honestly don’t have the answer there. Whatever “was done” would certainly need to be in place and fully functioning prior to to any move towards closure or deep cuts. It just seems to me though that for the money spent (again, on an entire system of schools that were opened to one degree or another based on skin color), we could do better as a state and country when the current choice is sending folks to a school who’s degree is by and large worthless when those degrees are competing against other schools.

Think of it like this........there are places that were pretty well off limits to me (job wise), because my LSU degree couldn’t compete with Stanford, Ivies, and the like.

In much the same way, there are entire industries and chances that are off limits to folks with a degree from a place that everyone recognizes is substandard.

Why do we continue to throw money at a problem to enable folks to continue to fool themselves?

Why would you say this?

I’m going to assume that you take offense to the question, which is in and of itself a perfect microcosm of the biggest problem facing today’s racism narrative - no one wants to be asked to look within........to the point of simply asking a thoughtful question like the one I posed garners responses like yours.

The OP was downvoted about 4-1 the last time I checked. Yet the responses - the actual intelligent, thought out responses - would seem to indicate that it’s a valid question.

Look at my post history. It’s brief. It also will tell you pretty quickly that I have a really recent history of “looking within.”

Responses like yours (if that response is based on some true emotion of yours as opposed to just message board banter) are why I don’t have a ton of hope for the direction of this country, at least to the extent that direction is steered by racism.

Until we are all willing to honestly see things as they are, and not see things only to the extent that they support our own personal agendas, my gosh, we’re in trouble.

I agree most of them should be shut down, but aren't a few of them, like Spellman and Howard, fairly respected Universities nationally?


I’d assume that’s true, just based on the law of averages. If any historically black school is providing an educational service that’s not easily duplicated in its region / area, it should be funded to continuance.

The thread title called out historically black colleges, but IMO, it could have just as easily said “colleges that duplicate (comparitively poorly) services”.

The difference between those schools and the ones that are historically black is that one set was created to segregate students based on skin color, and that’s the difference that I think continues to promote a segregated society.
quote:


We need more vocational training and less college training across the board - regardless of race.



This is absolutely true. If this plan were implemented successfully, not only would black colleges no long unnecessarily drain state education coffers, but the litany of equally unnecessary, underperforming white colleges would no longer be a part of that same drain.
....and if so, what’s to be done about that?

Clearly, at their inception, their was a need for their establishment, and for many years, their existence.

But consider their white “counterpart” schools at the high school level. I grew up in the era of “LISA” schools. For the youngsters, “LISA” schools were small, private schools that served one unwritten purpose to which educating children was actually secondary. These schools sprang up in late 1960s and early 1970’s, and that PRIMARY purpose was to keep little white boys and girls from having to face the horrors of being educated while sitting next to little black girls and boys.

As the South integrated the public school system in the 1970’s, and found other, more subtle ways to segregate children, the primary purpose and conditions for which and in which these schools were created and deemed necessary no longer existed. As such, they either closed up shop, or allowed black children to attend.

The same plight now faces historically black colleges. Sure, white folks can go. And obviously, black folks can go to colleges that were once off limits to them. It just seems to me that the when the educational money pie is getting carved up at the state level, and simultaneously word comes down that higher education is facing serious financial crisis, the most logical place to cut would be an ENTIRE SYSTEM of schools who’s purpose for creation no longer exists.
Two things:

1. Didn’t know pictures of Slash NOT smoking a Marlboro Red existed, and

2. This is sad news. Love me some Gibson gear.

Always thought Hans Soro was a pretty clever name.

We had a teacher that was that good looking when I was in about 7th grade - private school, k-12. At lunch one day she walked out of the cafeteria, across the courtyard, toward the classroom building. Seems like 6th 7th 8th grade went to lunch together, so everyone’s hanging around “by class” as she moseys on across the courtyard, dropped her keys, and bent down to picked them up. Two different whistles pierced the air, in honor of her perfect arse. No one would rat out the culprits, so like 60 boys got 3 licks each from the coaches paddle.
They need instructors?

Serious job opportunity for all us knuckle checking, Ultra alpha Sonic legend baws of the OT.
Guess black un-lives matter as much as lives.

Edit: in all seriousness, this would technically qualify as the first live shot/round in the reparations debate. About to be a true cost paid by white non-slave owners directly attributable to dead slaves.
