Apparently Blacks aren't allowed to go anywhere but to HBCUs? Who forced them all to go there? Were their SATs and grades not sufficient?

Nobody forces anyone to go to a particular school, but if you don't think a young person, male or female who is black, and wants to have some level of familiarity of association, doesn't think about what schools they want based upon race and diversity nowadays, you'd be wrong. Just as I went to a school based on curriculum, and where there was a strong network of Alumni- ALL students should look at where Alum's are connected and how they help get folks passed graduation and into Jobs. Hell that's why Harvard, Yale and Princeton were all such wonderlust schools for white kids. Those same principals are in play for the HBCU's where from the ranks and file of graduates, you have some successful folks helping with placement, and in some cases-even paying off entire student loans.

That Doesn't happen at NON -HBCUs any other schools, unless you get told that going in, you have an endowment or a grant.
I know nobody offered shit to pay off my loans, and when Biden offered to assist, the GOP lost their fucking minds. I get it, nobody wants there to be preferential treatment- especially for no-good socialists, left leaning Dems, but what I think should happen for student loans, is that you don't forgive them, but you also make the interest subsidized, so that you can still go for a degree, and not be over-burdened by paying back a bank or lender who declares the rate of interest that is punitive by intent or nature.
I actually think that if Joey B and the rest of his team would have done that; nobody would have cried wolf and the majority of loans in default would be paid back.
Is it a burden to society to do that? Perhaps slightly, but in reality, a smarter more educated society is a benefit in itself in general. I like smart deductive thinkers, vs. uneducated folks who are told what to think.
