Invisible College Barrier?

Invisible College Barrier? No!
Invisible College Barrier? No!

Certain sorts are complaining that underrepresented minority (URM) – yes, that’s now a term in college circles – students are facing invisible barriers in public colleges which prevent them from getting or completing the degrees that they want. And those invisible barriers are grades. And this, of course, is racist and needs to be addressed.

Let’s start with the fact that minorities are most likely not underrepresented, if enrollment figures have maintained the rates that they had for a long time. A five-year average showed that 4.98% of Whites, 6.22% of Blacks, and 4.1% of Latinos enrolled in college each year. So, that pretty much throws the Underrepresented Minority (URM) into the trash heap where all such lies belong.

But that “invisible barrier” to minority students is hardly invisible at all. It’s in plain sight, like all or most actual scholastic requirements in colleges, especially large public universities. They do gate off popular majors, limiting them out of necessity to those students with the best GPAs in prerequisite courses for those respective majors. These grade requirements conserve the various departments’ limited resources by acting as a winnowing tool, which makes sure that the strongest students enter those majors and lower-performing students are directed to other majors that the universities’ faculties believe they can better handle.

โ€œI got in here,โ€ she [Gonzales] told me this summer, which she spent finishing her degree in a different major. โ€œI did the application. I did the essays. I was accepted. But then there was another admissions process I didnโ€™t even know about. It was like running a race with one leg.โ€

It’s quite simple really. When competing for resources, those who can show that they will make the best use of those resources will gain them and those that don’t show that won’t get them. If minorities can’t successfully compete – a falsehood, judging by UC Berkely’s graduates demographic figures – it’s neither the universities faults nor their “problem” to solve.

Most certainly, the growing trend of using “holistic” means of judging a major candidates’ worthiness to claim one of the seats in a college/major, is not a means that provides true benefit. It just ends up lowering the bar, but only for certain classes of applicant.

Oh Boya, Goya

Oh Boya, Goya - Boycot? Buycot!
Oh Boya, Goya – Boycott? Buycott!

Recently, Goya Foods CEO Robert, Unanue lauded President Trump while at a gathering in the White House Rose Garden meant to celebrate as part of the Hispanic Prosperity Initiative, an executive order from President Trump that was created to improve access to educational and economic opportunities for Hispanics inside America.

“We’re all truly blessed at the same time to have a leader like President Trump, who is a builder,” Unanue said during the Rose Garden speech.

“We have an incredible builder. And we pray. We pray for our leadership, our president, and we pray for our country รขโ‚ฌโ€ that we will continue to prosper and to grow.”

Robert, Unanue

The Left and – of course – prominent Hispanics in Hollywood immediately took to social media to rant, rave, and called for their followers and fellow travelers to enact a punitive boycott of Goya brand products, using various #hashtags such as #Goyaway, #BoycottGoya, and #GoyaGottaGo.

But, like most of the Left’s boycotts, the one against Mr. Unanue and Goya immediately backfired as Americans instead enacted #BuycottGoya and Goya’s sales rose sharply.

Then, this is the normal way of things. The vast majority of the Left’s boycotts fail miserably, mostly due to Americans unwillingness to allow their hate, insanity, and rank anti-Americanism to win the day.

The Left On Tibbetts

The Left On Tibbetts
The Left On Tibbetts

With the senseless murder of Mollie Tibbetts, Americans reel and lament yet another beautiful, young, White woman with a good hope for a bright future being slaughtered by yet another murderous invader of our country, the Left and their Democrat politicians choose as always to side with the illegal immigrant and choose to continue their cries to further open our nation’s borders to more things like Cristhian Bahena Rivera.

But then, what can we expect other than this from our domestic enemies? The Left and their Democrat politicians have no respect or love for any law or any law enforcement agency that they cannot suborn, corrupt, and use to disadvantage Whites in America. That White women are being assaulted, raped, and/or brutally murdered by illegal immigrants – or any non-White -ร‚ย  is fine by them since Whites are not to be protected from non-Whites because doing so would be “racist.”

Oh, and before any White-hating Liberal, Progressive, or non-White drags up some “Fact Checker” site that “debunks” the meme that the Left is using GoFundMe to donate money to Rivera, I’m not saying that they are… yet. But somebody is paying for Rivera’s attorney, Allan Richards, since he’s in private practice and not a public defender.

The Highlights Of 2017

The Highlights Of 2017

2017 was a very interesting year, a true watershed in the history of the world, the West, and America. What makes it even odder to me that the one thing that sums up the highlights of 2017 actually took place in 2016, specifically on November 8th.

Yes! This video, though from 2016, sums up the foundation of what was 2017. It was, with the amazing and largely unexpected election of Donald Trump to the US Presidency, a year of America rebirth. Of course, like all births, it was accompanied by blood, sweat, and tears. In this case, the blood, sweat and bitter tears of Liberal and Progressives of all flavors as the weeped and gnashed their teeth over a birth that they unsurprisingly so wanted to abort. ๐Ÿ˜‰

Yes, 2017 was the best of years…for we, the People; it was the worst of years for those others living within the borders of our once and future great nation.
