I've typed and retyped four or five different responses to this, but every argument I can come up sounds silly because they rely on a basic world view and level of empathy for others that you clearly won't value or understand. I'll just say, I hope you're right, because apparently appeasement of Russian aggression and improved relations on Russia's terms are the policies we're going with after the inauguration. I assure you, I hope it works as much as you do.

"Basic world view and level of empathy"
 

Wew lad, that is some high-level superiority complex you got there.

Yes, i want to work with Russia to get what we want without risk of WAR.
Thankfully, we didn't elect that corrupt idiot Shillary and we can work on that by changing our focus to ourselves and working on our own problems.

Statistically, those of African heritage have less access to education.

Exactly, and that's the problem with democrats.

The statistic you think supports you @Kloaked is that blacks have on average a lower IQ.

No. I don't think IQ's are the whole picture on how intelligent someone is. If you look at crime rates and what those crimes are based on, blacks have it pretty bad - Hispanics are next in line I think but I don't feel comfortable saying so.  The reason is because blacks are more likely (not all of them, just statistically) to have kids out of wedlock and children grow up without a father or proper parenting at all; they aren't taught work ethics, they aren't taught how to be respectful. They are more likely to be taught that the cops want to kill them, that education isn't necessary, and all of this other crap that is perpetuating the problem that BLM seems to want to fix but not really.

Also scientists have determined that at most 30% of intelligence is based on the genes you received from your parents, the rest is determined by your experiences and environment.

I can buy that, but that's only 30% and leaves no excuse.

The stats aren't false. The interpretation of the stats is what makes people racist.

Do explain. I currently work on a strong development team of people who aren't white, and I'm of Hispanic descent. We have discussions about this shit all of the time - yet I'm being racist?

There should be competition from healthcare providers. I don't interpret that as 'nationalized'. Higher education should stay away from government. Higher education is what America does a lot better than the rest of the world, in terms of quality, usually. The problem is the cost of higher education and the cultural aspects of brainwashing, which I credit to government intervention. Everytime I see a 'progressive' argument about nationalized or 'free' higher education I just see freshman year of college turning into 13th grade. Which is scary, because we all know how awful public education is.

The biggest reason healthcare is so expensive in the US is due to the insurance companies. The middleman that is insurance is whats to blame.

 

Higher education is fairly high ranked but most of the universities responsible for that are long established private schools that are now out of reach for the majority. I don't have a problem with separate private institutions at all, I just would like to see state schools tuition free since they are already public institutions.

 

Professors create their own course material, the topic of that course is created by the program chairman. I'm not really sure how the government could force brain washing if the professors determine the material. Of the liberal arts stuff (I hate it) that I've had to take in university, I didn't really notice any BS stuff except for ENG 101 but that's probably because my professor was kind of crazy and nobody takes that class seriously.

 

Many other nations that free higher education usually have very tough entrance exams which should be the case if we ever go to that system. I've talked with many foreign exchange students in high school from countries with those systems and they all said that the exams are much more difficult than the ACT and SAT exams that we have.

 

Government isn't inherently evil as many believe, the humans that make up government are the ones that make it that way. If we could vote people in that truly care about the people, then I think this nation could truly become a better nation.

The pricing from government intervention ruins it for the majority. The government being involved is what ruins healthcare and education.

Also, government funding for higher education is actually proportionally lower than in the past when accounting for inflation. It's also not a simple issue and there are many causes, just saying.

This is what happens when people are so anti science. You actually start to believe stupid and unfounded things like intelligence is hereditary.

IntellIgence is totally not genetic.

i mean anyOne can be a newton or an Einstein, right? 

And it's Also not like adopted children have Lower iqs than their parents that are usually above average in intelligence.

Nah, you're a fucknig racist dawg.
How DARE YOU bring statistics into this as a way to explain common trends and showcase societal attitudes based on a variety of different demographics and variables.
You sick FUCK; specifically pointing out social issues that affect people based on their environments and not making a case that all black people are intellectually-inferior, like some flat-leveled vindictive child would confuse it as? (Like when you said " The reason is because blacks are more likely (not all of them, just statistically) to have kids out of wedlock and children grow up without a father or proper parenting at all; they aren't taught work ethics, they aren't taught how to be respectful. They are more likely to be taught that the cops want to kill them, that education isn't necessary, and all of this other crap that is perpetuating the problem that BLM seems to want to fix but not really. ")

Where do you get off by treating people equally and recognizing the troubles we have that would explain our statistically lower performance outside of my skintone buddy.

Probably pulling the same shit that every company eventually does who gets government funding - they see money coming, then they decide that their school arbitrarily costs more so more funding is needed (it's not).

In a sense, they had to raise tuition due to less funding which meant more cost to the student and loans started to be more common. It's really just an endless of cycle.

That's been an issue for awhile.  May as well just kill all Federal funding completely, and watch the schools writhe as even "private" universities get Federal grants and funding. Hell, if Trump does anything - I hope he is a secret Pinochet - privatizes everything, nukes the regulations, nukes welfare, privatizes Social Security, Healthcare, kills the FED, IRS, and takes the Carson-Cruz approach of flat-taxes and people go right back to "If you can work, you can eat."

True. This is why I went to a $2k-year technical school.

Like what? The pyramids? Those weren't built by sub Saharan Africans, unless you count it being literally built by them as slaves.

That would go so bad so quick because of the greed going on in America.

Well, elimination of regulations federally means a lot more companies appearing and a lot of competition, but - there'd be some huge die-offs of the American population.  Then again if applied globally, we'd lose damn near half the population in a few years.

I go to a state tech university that is about $5k-year in tuition though the other costs such as room and board are about three times that. I actually received very large scholarships due to my grades so that helps a lot, one of which covers all tuition for a 4-year program.
