College Puts White People in Separate Room For ‘Privilege Workshop’

Ever wonder what sort studies the various universities allow African American Football Players to major in?

First of all consider this: https://www.theatlantic.com/educati...-colleges-fail-black-football-players/282258/

Now look at this: https://www.nytimes.com/2014/10/23/...-shadow-curriculum-to-help-athletes.html?_r=0

We should take special note of this: The football industrial complex..............https://www.forbes.com/sites/scienc...ootball-out-of-our-universities/#3441a9021057.

I could go on and on but I will end it with this: http://www.sbnation.com/college-football/2014/7/9/5885433/ncaa-trial-student-athletes-education

 

So, ideology is not worth teaching and does not consist of facts and knowledge?

No wonder ideologues (of all directions) have such a hard time accepting reality.

 

Depends on the ideology..

 

Nahhhhh, that response aint' bigoted, racist or ahate mongerin'.

 

Ah so you want to be selective in the ideologies one is exposed to in an advanced academic environment. I get it.

Forget freedom, we need right thinking.

 

what does "segrate" mean?

 

wouldn't be throwing stones BABY.

 

It means my keyboard could not keep up with my rapid typing.

 

Of course there is some correlation, but you'll find ... once you've drilled down into the stats ... that 'vanity degrees' (liberal arts, humanities etc) as preferred by kids with idiot or rich parents, are not associated with high earning power.

 

segrate - v.

the act of being a racist pin head.

 

I realize that, but you have to drill down thru a pretty thick rich barrier before you get to those dweebs.

 

They would have anyway, because it's only the dysfunctional kids who are looking for validation in the first place. Functional kids treat college as a means to an end, not as a spiritual home.

 

Depends on what percentage of any given population (of grads) has gone for the old Bachelor of Arts. In some schools, it's huge. You can find them 5 years later, waiting on tables in hipster cafes.

 

I wouldn't hire anyone with a vanity degree, regardless of school. Unless they were old enough to have put some real world experience between them and college.

 

I hate to tell you this but when people do degrees they make up their own mind.

 

I truly love all the ignorant stereotyping and generalization going on in this thread.

In the last week, conservatives on this board have attacked higher education and public libraries. It's like they think everyone should be ignorant.

To claim college is worthless as a general proposition -- whether or not you major in the sciences or the humanities -- requires ignoring so much objective evidence that it can only be done by someone thinking with their brain stem.

To claim colleges are not competitive -- both in terms of admission and in terms of coursework once you are admitted -- is to admit ignorance of the whole enterprise.

Are some colleges and classes more rigorous than others? Of course. Do some majors provide a higher return on investment than others? Of course.

But that does not mean colleges in general are not worth it. Nor that a humanities degree is no better than no degree at all.

I would also point out that higher salary is not the only or even the best measure of the worth of a college education. You don't go into social work or public health for the money.

 

But at those same schools, there are also large numbers of Asian/Indian/White etc STEM grads who know nothing of or care nothing for the Snowflake bull.

 

Actually no you have not got it. It is true that only a few used to get in. If you did not belong to the elite then University was not a possibility. Now people who can come up with the entry qualifications and are accepted get in.

You are also wrong to assume that everyone can be divided into left and right. There are for instance some conservatives who are socially liberal and some left wing economically who are not. In the states however both parties are much the same.

 

First, I'm not a conservative. I'm a liberal socialist, FTR.

Secondly, Humanities are strictly for the rich. They started that way, and they remain just that. The rest of us are behoved to pursue high paying degrees, because we're NOT rich.

Yes, financial return is the only valid measure of a college education - for all but the rich. It doesn't matter what you think about Chaucer, if you can't pay rent.

 

I wasn't referring specifically to you. Just quoted your post because it was the last one in the thread.

*Shrug*. I got a "humanities" degree: journalism. Paid for my college with an ROTC scholarship. Turned the degree into a journalism career that paid quite well -- was making 93K when I quit the field and went into UI design -- another "humanities" type career. I now make just over 100k.

A degree is what you make it. You have to look at the career prospects, but you will do better doing something you love and are good at than if you simply aim for whatever degree appears to pay the most.

Being able to pay the rent is not the same thing as only caring about financial return. A person with a social-work degree can pay the rent. They just won't get wealthy. You go into social work because you believe in the job, not because you plan to get rich.

 

A degree isn't a guarantee of anything.
And anyone with a BA has at least demonstrated to potential employers that they have some facility with the necessary employment skills like problem solving, organization, research, comparative analysis, abstract thinking, conceptualization, written/verbal communications, constant learning strategies, etc.

That is ALL that a BA will provide. The problem you describe is with the expectations of those graduate versus the reality of job market.

IOW, great congrats, you're a grad. Today the reality of your career starts and that start is pretty damn near the bottom of the ladder to success.

 

Our schools, including the colleges, are stuck in the 19th century. Everything needed to teach any course can be provided over the internet now. Just provisionally credential all college graduates to form small elementary and secondary schools in their homes or office space and give the education budget to parents and guardians so that they can select the teachers and schools for their children. Colleges are already moving online.

Sell all the real estate and give the money back to the productive working class. A politician could even get elected pushing that kind of reform.

 

I don't regard Journalism as Humanities. You're learning a practical trade, which you can exchange for a moderate to above moderate salary.

I do agree that there needs to be some love for your field of study. Every STEM grad I know (and I know alot) loved their course. This sort of vocational interest doesn't start and end with the Humanities. Plenty of medicine grads are passionate. I even know a couple of passionate dentists .. and they earn more than most us.

You go into social work because you have the 'richness of mind or circumstances' to disregard your own welfare. In other words, you either have a solid support network (aka, rich family), or believe that you're special enough to fall back on welfare yourself, if gigs don't pay enough to cover expenses. There isn't anything particularly noble about it. I regard young medicine grads who volunteer abroad as considerably more noble. They've worked their arses off for 7 years to gain their degree, then worked 100 weeks as an intern, and then choose to earn nothing in order to help those who really need it (the starving, etc), rather than comparatively rich westerners in need of 'counselling'.

Finally, while $100k is admirable, it's not the sort of salary I'm referring to when I say 'high earning'.

 

Yes, agreed.

 

Strip off the erroneously applied sarcasm and this is probably your best post.

Because it isn't "racist", "bigoted", or "hate mongering".

Its a statement of truth.

Why would any business want to risk its prosperity by hiring lazy, entitled, bratty snowflakes, who have been programmed with a radically bigoted anti-White, anti-capitalist, anti-free market, anti-work ethic, mentality?

The answer is: There is no reason.

And this is why so many companies have shifted away from replacing older experienced employees with younger cheaper ones and are now willing to pay more to keep veterans on-board or to look outside of the US to fill their ranks.

Nobody wants to hire millennials.

Here, this is a fun way of putting it, skip to 1:39.
