(Molly Bruns, Headline USA) Disgraced culture-bandit Sen. Elizabeth Warren, D-Mass., recently posted a tweet suggesting “black borrowers” are less able to pay down their “original debt” than “white borrowers, and typically owe more.
20 years after taking out their student loans, the typical white borrower owes just 6% of their original debt. But the typical Black borrower? 95% of their original debt.
Student debt is a racial justice issue and it’s time for @POTUS to #CancelStudentDebt.

“20 years after taking out their student loans, the typical white borrower owes just 6% of their original debt. But the typical Black borrower? 95% of their original debt,” Warren posted, without citing where she found these statistics.
“Student debt is a racial justice issue and it’s time for @POTUS to #CancelStudentDebt,”
The senator was panned from all sides for her ill-informed and racist-tainted comments, according to The First TV.
I don’t know where you’re getting your numbers, but I’m white and still owe over 75% of my loans

Stop using Black people as props to give credence to YOUR PET ISSUE! The OVERWHELMING MAJORITY of Black people (75%) do NOT go to college and they rank HOUSING & HEALTHCARE as their top priority. This is a niche issue for the already privileged. It’s trickle down for lefties https://t.co/I9u1i9vlYA
