"At Georgia’s Berry College, 30 percent of students receive Pell Grants, and low-income students pay an average net price of $16,174. Yet 25 percent of its freshmen also receive merit aid, averaging more than $10,000 a piece…These schools are accepting government money meant to make college accessible for low-income Americans, yet still charge them extravagantly. Meanwhile, they continue to hand aid off to wealthier students, either because they score higher on the SAT or bring in extra revenue. It’s hard to imagine a more surefire way that colleges could undermine the public trust."

I spent 20+ hours in a car by myself in the last four days and now can’t get outside of my head more than ever. 

"You mean the generation that paid three times as much for college to enter a job market with triple the unemployment isn’t interested in purchasing the assets of the generation who just blew an enormous housing bubble and kept it from popping through quantitative easing and out-and-out federal support? Curious."

The video that no one wants to mention 

Such a humble, sensitive dude who literally saved lives and all the media (white corporations) & stupid people can think to do is make a joke out of him. Black men can only be clowns or killers regardless of what we do for other people or for ourselves no matter how selflessly it’s done. 

Minstrel. Mandingo. Mule. Mammy. Jezebel.

That’s what we are

”..they keep saying I’m a hero. Let me tell you something. I’m American. I’m a human being. I’m just like you. I work for a living. There was a woman in distress! So why turn your back on that?”
