Blacks should get their tuition paid for
You know, in this country, we pay for soldiers to go to college, and that's generally okay with the people who are normally against the idea of free tuition, so I want to strike a compromise that I think you will also agree with.
See, we allow our soldiers (even in the reserves HA!) to go to college because they provide us with a very vital service, ensuring the safety of this beautiful country. Without all the soldiers in school, we would never be able to defend ourselves. All those textbooks we pay for are actually better than Kevlar at absorbing bullet damage. Because nothing can damage knowledge, and knowledge is all powerful.
Now, I would also argue we owe another group of people the gift of a college education. We pay for the people who volunteer to defend this country, so we should also pay for the people who were forced against their will to build it.
In fact, I would argue that not only is it morally right, but blacks deserve to have their college tuition paid for, as we made them work for free, and they are the ones who built this country.
And before anyone says something silly like, "not all blacks come from slave families," my response would be that not every military personal gets deployed, but we still pay for their college tuition.
Furthermore, if you disagree, by logical extension, that means you feel as though that we should not be paying the tuition of our military personal.

11 RepliesNo, because not all blacks here were slaves. Not all whites here were responsible for taking the ones who were over. No we should not give them free college BECAUSE THEY WERE NOT THE ONLY PEOPLE WHO BUILT THIS COUNTRY. Who settled Pennsylvania and Texas? Germans. Who built the railroad system and did most of the work in the 1800s in the north and west? Chinese and Irish. Who settled at Jamestown, creating the first English colony here? English. Who built those skyscrapers in New York? Not slaves, white AND black WORKERS. So should all of us get free college too because we built the country just like the people you assume built the country? And btw, a majority of the slaves for a majority of the years only worked on and built plantations in the south, which yes, boosted southern economy, however didn't do anything for the industrial north, that was built by free people. So nice try Cellar, maybe think intelligently like the physics professor you're supposed to be rather then a racist jerk who deprives other minorities and races of college and money because we need to pay taxes to send one minority to college "because they built our country."
