    The Republicans are very opposed to educated non white males. Education only matters as a financial gateway which is why our higher education is mostly job training. In for a penny, in for a pound.

    When the federal government integrated the schools the Republicans fled the cities and continued to wage the same economic war against minorities jobs and property and most importantly education that they’d been steadily at since reconstruction.

    They tore down a top tier education system and put the country decades behind. They tore down what was a thriving middle class, and destroyed the unions. All the time saying that it was our fault for integrating the schools.

    If Americans wanted integrated schools they should have paid for them.

      I think they are opposed to all educated males and females. Minorities are a big part of the Republican voting block. I think this is a misread: people vote right because they want solutions and the light policies of the left are not enough. They don’t want immigration because they’re worried about house prices.

      The Republicans see this as easy wins and say everything is a zero sum game. This is clear to anyone educated but like any manipulative position they expand it to cover everything.

      The Democrats need to do this as well, and they should stick to housing. They should say a house should cost 250,000, and stick to it.

      I think you should be a little more cautious because I don’t think white males have a monopoly on education and your statements are somewhat racist. You see this in the current administration they try to be racist but they can’t find enough functionally qualified people and there are considerable numbers of women or people from other countries. I also don’t think education has a monopoly on income which clouds the issue further.

        I mean, white males have had a monopoly on education for a real long time and education has been a gateway to property for a really long time, at least where I’m from.

        I believe these were active battles until fairly unless I missed something.

        But you’re right the racists have had a lot of problems finding educated people to do stupid things. I’m not sure how much I think they’ve really tried though.
