This is for those struggling with #studentloanforgiveness because they don’t understand the data points. Only 16% of native born Blacks had a BA degree from this chart from some yrs back. If we focus on #ados it may drop well below 15%. With a chunk not qualifying due to default.
This program is targeted to galvanize the middle class of white voters. That’s not even hidden. — If you didn’t understand this and focused on one person that can get a little relief rather than the political and economic impact you’re missing the discussion.
You had 1 person try to push simulation data. You don’t have the scaling to do a simulation, nor a tweet with projections. Another said bc they target Pell Grants it’s about blacks? Beyond the raw number of grads above. Black pell grantees under $75k overrepresent in defaulted.
Everyone seems to understand this is a tool to turn out white college voters and their parents except many Black folks on @twitter. Even the @naacp president who still missed the issue focusing on amount still knows this isn’t about Black folks. amp.cnn.com/cnn/2022/08/24…
Part of what has made Black bachelor attainment look higher is the increase in these 2 images. College degree numbers for #ados are abysmal. This #studentloanforgiveness program is in many ways on another track from reparations going a whole different direction.
Black twitter then reclassified a ethnic category called “black women” that includes Black immigrant women and cuts out #ados men? And I’m divisive for creating #ados that illuminates how crazy that is? Bc #ados is the target 🎯 group.

Men & women that descend from the oppressive cost of slavery and Jim Crow in America.
I have no problem with collective uplift. But this presentation of struggle that carves out brothers, sons, & father with likely the exact same wealth struggles makes no sense. Particularly when you’re drawing with the wrong Black tipped lineal 🖊 pen. #ados
🤫👀 Didn’t I reference this fact prior in the tweet above.
If 90% of the defaulted are Pell Grant recipients. What percentage of former BLACK PELL GRANT RECIPIENTS under $75k DEFAULTED? They made this #studentloanforgiveness for woven white families. People that graduated 🧑🎓 in last 5 yrs paying debt off w/ their parents & grandparents.
In my view this addendum is largely about giving white boomer parents back their money as they finally paid off their 30 plus yr old kids loans during the pandemic.
