Grad Student Suggests Opposing the Forgiveness of Student Loans is White Supremacy
“This is a long tactic of conservative, white supremacist-leaning groups to use education and limit Black people’s access to education, as a way to further control and oppress us.”
So this is what we have come to? Oppose student loan bailouts and you’re a white supremacist? How predictable.
The College Fix reports:
Challenges to student college debt relief are … white supremacist?
The latest manifestation of white supremacy apparently comes from those who challenge attempts at forgiving students’ college loan debts.
This is according to Fortune and the Associated Press, which tosses into its story the latest challenge to affirmative action, as well.
Former University of Rochester student Makia Green (pictured) has about $20,000 in student debt and has “been counting on President Joe Biden’s promised debt relief to wipe nearly all of that away.”
Green, now a community organizer who already had part of her debt forgiven via the AmeriCorps program, said “I feel like working people have been through enough — I have been through enough. From a pandemic, an uprising, a recession, the cost of living price going up. I deserved some relief.”
Green and “many other people of color,” the article claims, believe opposition to debt relief “reflects a larger backlash to racial progress in higher education.”
“This is white supremacy at work,” Green said. “This is a long tactic of conservative, white supremacist-leaning groups to use education and limit Black people’s access to education, as a way to further control and oppress us.”
The [debt and A.A.] rulings could also have political consequences among a generation of young voters of color who took Biden at his word when he promised to cancel debt, said Wisdom Cole, director of NAACP’s youth and college program.
“Year after year, we have elected officials, we have advocates, we have different politicos coming to our communities making promises. But now it’s time to deliver on those promises,” he said. …
Kristin McGuire, the executive director of Young Invincibles, said that she could not overlook the decisions looming over the upcoming Juneteenth holiday, which marks the emancipation of enslaved people in Texas two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. For two years after abolition, Black Americans were kept as laborers and denied the freedom to begin building generational wealth, McGuire said.

Hey, Makia…
Learn to code.
Also learn to diet, so you don’t spend nearly as much on all those empty calories.
Living proof that graduating from college with a “degree” doesn’t mean the person is more intelligent.
Say it with me, “Everything I don’t like is white supremacy!”
Black, check.
Female, check.
Grifter, check.
Narcissist, check. (“She” deserves pandemic relief from my money.)
“the upcoming Juneteenth holiday, which marks the emancipation of enslaved people in Texas two years after the Emancipation Proclamation. For two years after abolition, Black Americans were kept as laborers and denied the freedom to begin building generational wealth, McGuire said.”
TL;DR, the day Republicans freed the last slaves that Democrats were illegally hoarding.
I am listening very carefully and have been for some time. No matter how carefully I listen, I hear only black, uhm, Black voices screeching about White supremacy.
I may be wrong but I do not recall such from Hispanics or Asians.
Maybe a few white-guilt women with builds that challenge Lane-Bryant and who have piercings and odd hair color.
Blacks of her ilk should check their resentment first before rushing to condemn their problems on white or Asian people.
My husband and I were the first in our families to graduate college and beyond (degrees earned in 70s and 80s). We didn’t get handouts because of our skin color or ethnicity.
We worked to pay off our school loans. Our daughter is working to pay off her school loan having 7 years remaining.
Nothing was given to us. We earned every bit. And we are grateful not to be a whiny, sniveling grifter like that excuse for a person.
I thought it was the lousy grades and test scores that did that.
Dat’s raciss!
As if all whites have generational wealth.
There’s no merit to this claim worth debating, so I will resort to simple observations?
I can’t believe she posed for that picture. Is that really the best she could come up with?
She wants students loans to be forgiven. My guess is that Blacks hold a much smaller percentage of the total than their percentage of the population. So, forgiving them appears to be racist.
Definitions matter – It is not loan forgiveness, it’s burden-shifting. Live up to your contractual obligations, pay your own bills.
I found it odd that Ms. Green was referred to as a former student at Rochester, and not a graduate from the institution.
Hey Makia, when you get a break from a busy day organizing the community, go audition for commercials. Lord knows they ain’t hiring whitey for any of them.
That’s the ticket. Put his bunch in college unprepared from lousy public schools and then blame their failures on white something or other. People like this are one day going to run the country?
Just another grifter. This e spends money on excess food instead of applying it to her $20,000 (big deal, compared to others) loan. I can’t see the clause in the Constitution that allows the central government to void valid contracts. States are specifically barred from doing so—an injunction that need not apply to the central government because in the Framers’ understanding no such power was enumerated. This is not to mention that the Framers’ firm conviction was governments have a duty to enforce valid contracts, not to interfere with them.
