If you scroll down to essay #2, you will read the thoughts of college POC's, who are worried about their careers being harmed by racism. They might not get the first choice of employment, might not be promoted, or might be installed as a "token," might not even be able to find a suitable job, all as a result of systemic racism.

Without getting into a lot of detail, it's a characteristic of successful people that they are focused on the future with optimism; less successful people are focused on the past with pessimism and fatalistic thoughts. Any legitimate, competent* POC college student who is thinking that their career will suffer due to their race/ethnicity/gender is an idiot. Seriously.

Not teaching them, emphatically, that the "world is their oyster," is a crime. All this talk about systemic and endemic racism and reparations is doing those people a huge disservice. Employers who are welcoming of women and POC's are well known, as are those with a reputation for being otherwise. Literally THOUSANDS of public sector employers, NGO's, non-profits, and so on have had the Welcome Mat out for decades for this sort of applicant. There is no reason on God's green earth why a competent POC college grad cannot get a very fine job right out of college. The fact that they do not appear to be aware of what awaits them - assuming they are not stupid - is a tragedy.

Their problem is that the POCmarks still complain that there are white people in the universities. There are still white people working.

Only retarded people use the term retarded, people go to college to get an education as far as what they want to study that is up to them since it is in their interest and they are paying for it.

Not true. Many people seek "a degree," and find the major that will require the least level of effort. Hence, Ethnic Studies.

A degree in black studies is a blinking red light for a hiring manager. A person with a degree in black studies might have learned how to write good essays, but even this is doubtful. Mainly a black person with a degree in black studies has learned to view the world with feelings of personal grievance.

When a boss reprimands a black subordinate about poor performance the boss does not want to hear, "You are picking on me because you are prejudiced."

Unfortunately, for people with degrees in black studies, there are not many jobs for Diversity Specialists.

Except now Biden and the libs are talking about forgiving student loans, or making college free entirely, and then they wouldn’t be paying for it.

Michelle Obama‘s thesis was on the black experience in college, and it was hidden from voters until after the election. It probably reeked of resentment and grievances, and the last thing you want as a First Lady with great influence on the president is a woman whose main focus is on how things affect 12% of Americans - black people.

Except many of them aren't paying for it and don't want to pay their loans back.

IMO, only retarded people use the 1406 euphemisms for retarded that leftists cook up to control our language. CRUCIAL never to allow anyone to control the words we use!! THAT would be retarded.

She got the opportunity to go to Princeton because of her brother, a tall basketball player. And what did she do with that opportunity? Majored in Black Studies. Now, that is retarded.

Without considering that there is no market for such nonsense.

Yup, complete waste - but shows where her focus lies.

I would automatically rule out anyone for president who majored in Black Studies.

So would I.

So what, they forgave ppp loans also.

You don't make the rules of your tyranny to suppress people in the US.

 

[Lisa558]

That was a pandemic emergency.

Taxpayers should not have to pay so young people can study useless degrees and have a four-year party.

 

[Lisa558]

Oye. Another poster to ignore.

College students were in debt also during the pandemic.

Don't like an evaluation of you bigotry and suppression antics? If you have not noticed this is a free country.

 

[Unkotare]

Not true. Many people seek "a degree," and find the major that will require the least level of effort. ...

How the hell do YOU know what "many people seek"?
