Financial Compensation, Affirmative Action, More Money for Therapy

Students who attend a wealthy and elite cluster of schools in Southern California are demanding various forms of reparations, citing racial strife and other injustices they allegedly face.

...

The various forms of reparations some students seek for the oppression they say they face includes financial compensation, affirmative action and more money for therapy.

At Pomona College, for example, a handful of black students have shared their Venmo accounts, a payment service app, with their peers, seeking “tangible capital … for our labor.” Their labor? A widely circulated letter that condemns “truth” as an invention of white people...

...

At the women’s-only Scripps, students have their own complaints. A flier hung there in March advises students of color to charge their white peers for “emotional labor” inflicted upon them — referring to the effort exerted when a student of color corrects or educates a white student in some manner.

“Charge for your services,” the flier states. “If you’ve decided you’re going to do it, at least get paid.”

...


My favorite, is the last bit, about black students getting paid to "educate" whites!! LOLOLOL

Like I said, there's a narcissist bred, every minute!!

BTW, if you choose to read the whole article (it's not too, terribly, long), I suggest reading the comments, as well----a couple of them, are GREAT!! Here's a couple of snippets, I particularly enjoyed:

** "But I have to say that the white is the only race I know of in world history who fought a war among themselves for the benefit of another race."

** [sarcasm]"The next logical step is for all whiteys to give up their home, property, and retirement funds to the blacks. Oh, and apologize each and every day before they die. Maybe tdhe next few generations will do the same.

There, you blacks and your snowflake apologists, will this do?"[/sarcasm]

In engineering college, people built stuff.
In medicine college, people heal others.
In "social progress" college, I expect they do this stuff.

The more I see this reparations thing, the more I think it's all just a scam.

Here's my thought:

The states are able to make up the difference between their state taxes from payroll and their operating costs through various kinds of chargebacks to FICA. If they close that down for anything short of emergencies and force the states to pay for everything of their own accrued taxes then sure - I'd be all for these students being placed on the UC payroll for their toil and services. California's earned such education.
