Economic inequality compounds generationally - injustices from the past still haunt minorities today. For example, almost all black university students must take out student loans; that's mostly because minorities inherit almost nothing in terms of generational wealth. A big factor is wealth is homeownership - and the market value of homes in minority areas plummeted due to redlining that occurred many years ago.
My answer is yes, it's the basic economic reality.
An estimated 86.8% of black students borrow federal student loans to attend a four-year public college, as opposed to 59.9% of white students,
Black students borrow more than other students for the same degrees, and black borrowers are more likely than white borrowers to drop out without receiving a degree.
I'm not following. What would be an example or two of that.
Well, I think racism is not always so " black and white". I think by enabling people, treating them like they can't do anything on their own without assistance, is the same as holding them down, or racism.
That seem to happen a lot certain minorities. And I think they do it to themselves as well. But it is more complicated than that. I wish I could give you more examples but I am at work...so I have to stay off C.D
I will be back later.

Thanks I understand.
Like offering drinks or drugs to someone fresh out of rehab. Or making it too easy to not work and receive government assistance when there are jobs available. Jobs that pay less then the previous jobs, but still jobs.
I've seen and heard that often enough.
Democrats, media and activists are a major factor in 'keeping minorities down'.
From activists we learn everyone of a different color is out to get us. mother goose is racist, confederate flag is cruelly offensive. And if anyone ever said a banned word, anytime in the distant past, they are the equivalent of a murderous member of the KKK and their career and life must be crushed with no chance of redemption....unless you are a liberal or democrat. The media acts as the enforcer!
The democrats count success as the number of people they put on life support, rather than the number healed. Democrat hierarchy is a pure political animal. they live to collect votes and have discovered the maintenance of an issue, rather than a solution, ensures a constant supply of examples to support their political agenda. People they pretend to help are willingly sacrificed for the cause.
The media ignores the bodies piling up in Chicago each weekend and loses its mind over a single controversial shooting where resisting arrest is endorsed and unproven 'facts' promoted. NBC doctors 911 tape to make caller sound racist. Media and democrat politicians embrace BLM, their lies that defy statistics and their call to kill cops.
The democrats with the help of media, social media and left wing liberals, looking for a cause, continue to use hate and fear mongering to divide the nation. A legacy of kindred spirits, Obama and Putin. When your goal is to spread hate and fear, hate and fear define you.
Hanging with that crowd would bring anyone down. Mutual denigration society, no one ever thrives in that company.
What do you think is a big factor that helps someone attain education?
I am white and did not have the financial means to attend college so stuff your implied notions that whites are all rich so get a free ride through college merely due to their race.
