Sometimes I think there are Russian bots on this site just trying to pick fights. This is all mixed up and the things and people that the poster is trying to draw connections between don’t match up right. Crazy.
I absolutely agree!

Anyone with an AI model to train, this is the place. Doesn't even require an account.

Wow, I didn’t know that most Black families send their kids to private in the US and the ivy’s are full of middle class Black kids?


Plenty of middle-class blacks go to private, and then to Ivies. Private is not just for whites. Do you think that all blacks are poor and living in the ghetto? If your parents had sent you to private, you would know that the plural of Ivy is Ivies.

? define "plenty".

schools like Harvard have such a large endowment that they don't need to charge tuition, to anyone, for many years.

It's greed and elitism. They throw crumbs out to the "poors" as a show for supporting DEI.

I liken it to Trump's tax cuts: they threw crumbs at the middle class as a show for supporting the middle class, all while the tax cuts made the rich much richer relative to the middle class.

The majority of black middle-class kids go to public schools, just like the white and Asian American kids. Private schools are not the pipeline for Black kids to the Ivy league. The majority of Black kids at Ivy league schools are UMC/wealthy kids and/or immigrants.

Because these institutions live, breathe and die for DEI. Yet here we are.

They are mocking us.


Is this the FOX News version?


Nice try, but the cute bashing of Fox News lost its luster when the Left & their media partners decided it was open season on Jews.


Um, the end of your sentence is the tell there.

Ivies have a lot of immigrant blacks because they tend to work harder than American blacks.

If that’s the case then they should lose their non profit status and pay taxes on their endowments and real estate holdings.

Where is the outrage in the name of equity? Where are the protests? The changemakers? Maybe there will be a sit-in at Harvard this admissions season, definitely at Brown. Rise up, no equity, no peace...

Bueller...Bueller...


Have you been not paying attention to the news for the past 20 years?
