Among the college-educated, a lot of it has to do with which colleges they attend.

African-Americans Most Likely to Attend Low-Quality Colleges - money.com

"The takeaway: “It’s not just quantity of education. Quality matters,” Rothwell says."

That's a choice they made themselves. An unfortunate result of that is the black/white wage gap. Self-inflicted.
The last part of your post holds truth. If anyone is going to get a 4 year degree from a low rank private collage or a public university. One must know that a 4 year degree will land you an interview but not the job. Someone who went to Harvard or drop out of Harvard will still land a job vs someone who went to a low tier accredited college. Stuff like this is the reason why black women have so many degrees. Bachelors and masters degree from low end colleges don't help in the long run. Let's not forget, field and degrees matter. A person who graduated with a stem degree from a low end college can still get a job in stem field.

I do agree that white supremacy is an issue, but you have those who are morally afraid, panic and have an all out witch hunt on white supremacy. Ask an African American on what came first. White supremacy or slavery? Ask any sane person, what is a major problem, climate change or white supremacy?
The problem is they think all conservatives are white supremacists, even non-white conservatives.

i remember back in college when i was incredibly broke. Where every day was Ramen or toast and eggs. Yet I would often go out and eat junk food at mcdonalds or whatever was cheapest. I gained a good amount of weight, the thing was it made me feel good to be able to eat out, more human, like i wasn't so poor. In the back of my mind i knew that if i spent what i was spending on fast food on groceries I could eat much better at home but then i couldn't eat out and feel better about myself.


BTW I either had to walk several miles for groceries, take the Bus or shop at the incredibly overpriced campus store(where prices we're twice normal).

A woman who blames not herself for something that is 100% under her control. Sounds like she's married.

Let's make the list short. White supremacy is linked to all ills in the world.

There - that covers it all. Move along.

You're too late. What is great about academia along with beliefs of Intersectionality and social justice is that anything can or will be linked backed to the notion of white supremacy.

If I fell on the floor and hit my head, white supremacy is indirectly responsible for my injury.

Same way how Americans panicked over communism in the 1950s and 1960s are no different than today with people panicking over white supremacy. I do agree that white supremacy is a problem, but no need to panic over it and blame white supremacy on anything or everything. And I say this as a person of color. Mainly white illiberals and black academics put blame on white supremacy. Also note that back academics and white illiberals have dried friends in high places, and with little to no effort place their ideology from colleges to the board room.
