LOL! The un-accessorized debtor is a shameful waste of loan money.
You should be able to spend your money how you want. Student loans shouldn't be forgiven by the government at all. BUT, you should be able to default on them and not pay them back, like any other credit. Universities and lenders would have a shit fit, but who cares.
Michelle Obama was one of the many prominent figures on the Left to suffer a meltdown over the Supreme Court decision to end affirmative action.
The former first lady issued a scathing statement over the ruling, trashing the Supreme Court.
However, Michelle Obama’s ex-Princeton classmate, Rabbi Yaakov Menken, called her out over the statement.
“As a fellow Princeton student at the time Michelle Robinson [Obama] was there, I have to make a few comments,” Menken said.
“Her claim that she was one of the ‘few’ black students is ridiculous.
“Affirmative action was in full force, and the Third World Center was a popular campus destination for blacks, Latinos, Native Americans, and others.
“There were far more blacks than Jews, and there were not ‘a few’ Jews on campus. ...
“A good friend of mine told me openly, at Princeton, that he was happy with affirmative action ‘because I didn’t have the grades.’
“He was black, of course.
“And I couldn’t help thinking, ‘it’s great that you are here, but which student, that actually did have the grades, didn’t get to come to Princeton because they gave the spot to you?’
“I didn’t like that thought, like I said, he was a friend, but he just told me he really didn’t have the academic scores needed to get in, and that meant someone else was left out.
“Multiple times over the past few years we have read stories about a student getting into each and every one of the Ivy League schools.
“Without even opening the article, we knew the skin color of the student in question.
“Don’t tell me it’s racist to notice, blame the admission system.
“You knew it too,” Menken said.
“And, sadly, there was a recent story of an Asian student with an outstanding record of academic and extracurricular achievement, a first-generation American from an impoverished immigrant background, who got into none of the top schools.
“There is another good friend of mine who went to Princeton with me, my best friend since third grade.
“He didn’t need a special leg up, he was an academic performer.
“And now no one will look at future students like him and wonder if he got in due to the color of his skin or the content of his mind.
Geraldo Rivera Comes Clean: ‘I Was a Product of Affirmative Action over Half a Century Ago’
The comments on her tweet are hillarious. All she had to do was delete her tweet, take a two week social media disconnected vacation, and return and things would have been mostly like it never happened.

But instead....she only feeds the fire!
I've never once been informed of WHY diversity is so important. I do not believe it is. No, I believe, bigly, that diversity is a nothing other than a club to be used against a united society. At least that's what I believe our "betters" us it for anyway. If you remember, diversity was a public announcement by the government. Pushed no differently than the push anything. Why and what role should government play in the makeup of the % of groups? It doesn't make sense to me.
