Opposing Student Loan Forgiveness Makes You a White Supremacist…

June 22, 2023Don’t you miss the good ol’ days? You know… when you knew that if you wanted to do something, the money to do said thing would be coming out of your own wallet…
That seems pretty fair to me. “You break it, you buy it” and all that good stuff.
Well… we’ve pretty much popped a you-ee on all that (as I’m sure you’re all very much aware). We’ve entered into the age of entitlement culture’s dominance. Now, if you knowingly sign your name to a loan contract to go to school, you “deserve a break” when the bank comes looking for their payments. If you disagree with that sentiment, then you’re just flaunting you feathers of white supremacy…
From The College Fix:
The latest manifestation of white supremacy apparently comes from those who challenge attempts at forgiving students’ college loan debts.
This is according to Fortune and the Associated Press, which tosses into its story the latest challenge to affirmative action, as well.
Former University of Rochester student Makia Green (pictured) has about $20,000 in student debt and has “been counting on President Joe Biden’s promised debt relief to wipe nearly all of that away.”
Green, now a community organizer who already had part of her debt forgiven via the AmeriCorps program, said “I feel like working people have been through enough — I have been through enough. From a pandemic, an uprising, a recession, the cost of living price going up. I deserved some relief.”
Green and “many other people of color,” the article claims, believe opposition to debt relief “reflects a larger backlash to racial progress in higher education.”
“This is white supremacy at work,” Green said. “This is a long tactic of conservative, white supremacist-leaning groups to use education and limit Black people’s access to education, as a way to further control and oppress us.”
The [debt and A.A.] rulings could also have political consequences among a generation of young voters of color who took Biden at his word when he promised to cancel debt, said Wisdom Cole, director of NAACP’s youth and college program.
The U.S. Supreme Court is expected to rule on the Biden debt forgiveness plan and affirmative action by the end of this month.
Now… if I was smart, I too would agree that by having my loans “forgiven” I was doing the world a favor by flipping off white supremacy in both body and spirit. Unfortunately, my conscience has always been louder than my intellect. Shame…
If you take a politician, any politician, at “their word,” then I pity you. I really do. Few things serve as a brighter beacon to signal your stupidity.
Repaying money that you knowingly borrowed isn’t a form of “oppression.” It’s actually the opposite. I have no doubt that there are scores of people worldwide that would jump at the very same chance that so many people in this country mock, disparage, or squander. I’m sure people would probably disagree that a college education serves as a benefit at this stage, but I’m already enrolled for next semester, so don’t make me feel worse…

The idea that forgiving student loans makes you a racist, in my opinion. Such accusations are made to manipulate the dialogue, detract from real issues and actions, and do not take into account the diversity of views and arguments. I saw something similar when one person tried to convince another to call the https://assignmentshark.com/economics-homework-help.htmlservice to write his homework, although he wanted to write it himself. Manipulating dialogues can often lead to one party suing the other party, so it is dangerous.
How is opposing student loan forgiveness preventing minorities from getting an education? Makia, up there in the College Fix article, has already been educated. She has never been blocked from a classroom. And she has half as much debt remaining as I had when I graduated. I completely paid off my student loan debt in about four years by paying over double the monthly minimum (because screw those loan companies, if anyone is going to get rich at my expense, it should be ME!)
Repaying money you borrowed => Oppression
Forcibly giving the government money through taxes => Not Oppression
Good lord if I didn’t know that not making sense was the point I’d probably have a nervous break down trying to rationalize these people’s beliefs.
“giving”
I never have a choice in that.
I’m black and am of the thought that if one took out a college loan, they MUST pay it back. Otherwise, if they’re unwilling to do so, they should have never went to college without taking loans into consideration. Makia Green reminds me of that woman who was musing that upon Barack Obama being elected President in 2008, she didn’t have to worry about “putting gas in her tank”, otherwise pay the cost of living because she saw Obama as some kind of sugar daddy/Santa Claus. Those who are currently being affected the most by Bidenomics, are the very low-income black Americans who voted for him, but they won’t admit it. They too, are finding their EBT cards quickly depleted as our purses and wallets; it wasn’t like that under President Trump. They were cowed into voting for Biden under the premise that if they didn’t, they “ain’t black”.
Up-vote.
