Thank you!... I’m glad I’m not the only one thinking it. And she ain’t the only one. Several members of the CBC care more about Russia and immigration than they do their own communities. Because that is all I seem to hear and I’m reading and watching politics all day.

A lot of those Dems that we have been propping up are black. Black people can be stupid too. Should we vote for Stacy Dash or the Ben Carson’s of the world too just because they are black?

I’m mostly joking. More about us not caring about OJ and less about me knowing how ad blockers work. People are REALLY passionate about ad blockers though.

Ok. Well that is the heart of this debate then. I have no doubt that any particular high school freshman or sophomore can be told and groomed to get straight A’s and work themselves into the point of getting all kinds of scholarships. But what about the senior who hasn’t done that? One that has just done pretty good…

My statements are based on your initial post which made it seem like a common thing that most people can just get paid to go to school. I do NOT think that is true. It is true for you. And I respect your hustle. Just don’t assume that your experience is everyone else’s.

It’s not that serious.. Obviously I’m mostly joking. I know how ad-blockers work. Thanks for your advice.

On my old PC the ad-blocker was eating up huge amounts of memory slowing everything down. So I disabled it. I have a new PC now but I haven’t enabled it again because I do want to support the sites that I visit and they are easy enough to ignore for the most part... But I have my limits.

I think you are answering your own question. The short of it is everyone is NOT you or in your situation. Sure, some are lazy I guess.. Others are ignorant first generation college students.. Some live in areas were colleges or other benefactors are not offering SO MANY scholarships to some cheap schools. Others need…

Where do I go to complain about all these damn OJ ads? Yall act like black people actually care about that shit show of an interview from 15+ years ago. That is some white people shit. Put it up on their sites. Stop annoying the black customers.

I’m not sure where else to ask this but... WHY the hell is ‘The Root’ plastering OJ’s face in ads all over the freaking place as if black people care about this shit show of an interview? That is white people shit.. Post it on the sites that they go to. This the type of shit that makes people want to go get the ad…

Ok. Cool story. Now take that and try to apply it to the millions of other students that are going to school at the thousands of colleges in the US. Then I think that you will have the answer to your initial question. I don’t think your advisor’s binder full of scholarships would cover them all and their full tuition.…

Well that sounds like a good deal. I don’t think that most have this option. Even community college usually costs something. Most colleges are not giving away free educations to the majority of their students. I’m sure that there are reasons other than ‘just because’ that you were able to go to school without paying…

Do you really think that everyone at school is getting full ride scholarships?

Right... They constantly call and send crap in the mail to try and get you to refinance so that they can hit you with 15+ more years of interest. They are slick with it too. They try to significantly lower your monthly payment knowing that all of it is straight profit for them.

Now that I’m grown and have gone half-way through one I feel like mortgages in general are a robbery. It should be illegal for someone to front load 30 years worth of interest. It takes at least 15+ years before you even start to make significant progress on your actual balance. And hopefully you bought at a descent…

The only problem is if he called himself or accepted the ‘hero’ tag. If that is how it went down then he should keep his ass off TV doing interviews.

I’m not disagreeing but we are a kinda seeing that now though with Coogler and Ava. And on TV with Shonda Rhimes. Hopefully it continues. There was a brief moment in the 90's that fizzled out.

Yea.. I get that. But no one is getting all hyped up over ‘Almost Christmas’ or the 20+ Madea movies. These current movies like ‘Get Out’ and ‘Black Panther’ are well received by ALL critics. Even the white ones. It’s pretty much the Obama effect but in entertainment form. The majority of black people were not feeling…

Really?? To each his own I guess. I went in with high expectations because of the hype but still left ‘Get Out’ pretty satisfied. If nothing else it was freaking original in an age of constant retreads of the same ole tired crap. Same with Black Panther.

Wesley Snipes has some stinkers too. And Will Smith, whom I love to death, is pretty much in skate stage right now. But yea.. We could use a little more of that leeway.
