Black Americans paid taxes during segregation for pools they weren't allowed to swim in, fountains they couldn't drink from and buses they had to ride in the back of. So...miss me with this "Why am I paying for school I didn't go to?" At least this is about uplift, not hate.
I wanted to clarify for the confused. I wasn’t saying that Black graduates won’t benefit from the plan but that there is precedent for taxpayers contributing to things they did not - or legally could not- benefit from.
I am overwhelmed by the numbers this is doing and most of the conversation here. I am going to mute this but I wanted to drop the link to my @BaltimoreBanner column about #studentloanforgiveness thebaltimorebanner.com/opinion/column…
Also I wanted to let you know, if you don't, that I'm an author who wrote a book called "Black Widow" about grief, resilience and bourbon. I'd love you to read it. Thanks. littlebrown.com/titles/leslie-…
