Well someone’s paying for it. Academic scholarship, athletic scholarship, what about kids that don’t receive those?? All rich kids can have college but just a few poor kids and then -geez all these poor people that can’t get a job with their hs diploma/GED. Why don’t they work somewhere better than Walmart? Gee I wonder.
If Blacks started voting Republican, would the Dems finally focus on their actual problems?

Right. Control, subjugation, and manipulation continue to be the M.O. of the democrat party - as ever.

Trade school is available to anybody at a much reasonable cost than college. In fact, Republicans are supporting that now. In my field of work, we need over 30,000 drivers we can't find, and that depletion is expected to grow as we baby boomers retire. Now industry is bringing in foreigners to do these jobs because Americans won't do them. They have their Obama phone, their HUD house in the suburbs, their Obama care, and enough food stamps to make an elephant fatter. Why work???

Oppression Mentality - instilled in them from an early age by the Left.
"The central belief of every moron is that he is the victim of a mysterious conspiracy against his common rights and true deserts. He ascribes all his failure to get on in the world, all of his congenital incapacity and damfoolishness, to the machinations of werewolves assembled in Wall Street, or some other such den of infamy." ..H.L. Mencken Oppression Mentality
Then we have to stop supporting policies that keep them stuck in the ghettos. We need to slow mass incarceration, make higher education more accessible financially, raise the minimum wage. Personally, I think school- on all levels- use to prepare students for adulthood better. I think job trainings should be pushed; how to find a job to match your skill set, how to write a resume, how to conduct an interview, how to follow up with an employer etc.
Kids born in the ghetto need to know there’s a way out. Now a days it is so hard to overcome poverty, I think a lot of people just try and survive it. In my experience education and a secure job are the only way out. Unless you are an athlete/singer/have some special talent. Anyways, we can’t have higher education costing a small fortune and then being mad poor kids don’t go
I'm liberal but what a conservative would say or ask is, who's responsible for teaching these skills? It's the parents not the government.
Don't tell us tell ghetto parents
No it's not. What I'm saying is no matter how poor and stupid you are right now, your child isn't doomed to repeat your life. My point has nothing to do with race. But it doesn't surprise me you miss the point.
My father didn't finish highschool. My brother got his masters at msu and is a vp of a Fortune 500.
What I'm telling poor blacks they can do that too. In one generation, just like that.
Or more likely they'll raise someone like me. Someone who has a bachelor at emu and makes less than $100k but hey I do alright.
How is that racist to tell them they can do it too? Are you saying they face additional challenges? What are they?
Vs the poor in the south who vote republican and are happy with poverty? How many of them are insured because of us but they vote for you?
I saw the liberal dream. My dad didn't graduate highschool yet has almost $1 mill net worth. He was paid well at ford. Up north Michigan was a dream till the rich started breaking unions under Reagan. Anyways, the American people don't deserve the liberal dream. So you'll get the GOP way. That never works out for the middle class.
The Dreamers are by definition, illegal aliens, not Americans.
Thus, my point about HIspanic Americans not having any interest in additional Third World immigration designed to make America a shittier place and thus it is reasonable for them to not be motivated to fight Trump,
stands.
You should try to refute it again. Perhaps if you fail often enough, you will learn something from that.
And I asked a serious question. Do you have a problem with how excited blacks were about Obama's skin color?

The UAW reigned supreme in Michigan. They had / have most of the Democratic politicians in their pockets. Detroit was broken by their inability to compete with inexpensive foreign imports not by 'union busting' keep dreaming / spinning little fella

Don't know why don't you tell us, lets see how you spin this
We can debate who's to blame historically but who's to blame for the guy who has a kid he can't afford with a girl he won't stay with.
We have to remember black people say most people in Detroit do alright. They are honest good intelligent people. And they defend these part time immature parents, rather than admit they are responsible. And they can get out. In fact that's my advice. We did. I lived in Detroit till I was 8. My dad got us the hell out
