student loans are a hit!

Sowell is better at rhetorical flourish than thoughtful empirical analysis or philosophical consistency.

how about everyone takes the same test, and if you score x or higher, you get to go to that school. explain why that is racist?

If all races don’t score the same then the setup isn’t fair

And we can’t make life fair because that’s not how life goes, but we can sure as hell positively-discriminate to try

How about those less pronounced members of a race that statistically receive less education due to demographics and finances don't have their chances at entering an Ivy League School diminished.

The ruling only gives a privileged family with money more wiggle room to get their space without needing to worry if the school met the correct metrics in diversity.

In this case money is power. With out checks power tends to corrupt; absolute power corrupts absolutely.

Anyone saying the GOP party isn't the party of the rich is fooling themselves.

I'm all for equality, equity is bullshit though and you should find your own fucking box.

Democrats have been the party of ivory tower elitists ever since Clinton passed NAFTA in the 90s other than the Teacher and Police union they haven't fought for the working class in decades.

i'd rather vote for team "doesn't give a fuck about you" over team "literally hates your white male guts, also here's a 300 dollar a month tax cause you're a 20 something yr old loser working a shit job without health insurance and it's the law now because of Obamacare."

Hates democrats for being ivory tower elitists, proceeds to vote for (checks notes) Donald Trump, a man who literally lives in a tower with his name on the front...

i haven't voted since i thought Obama would legalize weed.

i'd vote for him over Biden and Kamala though if it was actually competitive where i live, on the drug war issue alone... She put over 1,500 people in jail for marijuana violations and then laughed about it when she was asked if she ever smoked marijuana and Biden voted for a literal racist bill that classifies crack cocaine differently than powder back in 1986. Biden is only a decent choice if you delude yourself into thinking Trump is actually Hitler.

I only know of one president who forced mandates. That's closer to hi.tler than anything trump ever did.

It's not really talking about giving people boxes, it's talking about equality of opportunity. Someone born with 10 boxes should have the same shot as someone born with zero boxes. You would know this if you paid attention in school. Really makes me feel like the whole MAGA anti-education thing is just cope for ignorance.

Some of us are born on third base and judge the people born with nothing through the lens of our own advantages.
