Is John Oliver Mad About Historically Black Colleges?


Thank god I can afford to send my kids to private schools. Sorry diversification has ABSOLUTELY no proof of actually helping or working. Founder of DNA actually stated that blacks and whites learn differently.

Well fine, nobody wants your weirdo kids in public schools anyway. They probably would regurgitate non-sequiturs like 'The founder of DNA actually stated that blacks and whites learn differently.' Like that has anything to do with the issue of school diversification.

It has everything to do with school diversification. Hell I see libs quoting Richard Dawkins all the time. That dude thinks races are different species. Why force kids to go to schools far away if theres no benefit and truthfully more likely a negative to it. Its a complete sequitur. The logic is diversity is good. So we should thrive for it. A better argument is that schools should be funded at the state level. Its unfair to the kids that wealthy areas pass levies and poorer areas dont want a cut in their foodstamps. That argument I can at least understand. Even the blacks on the show he brought out werent saying they wanted to see more white faces or they would like to go to a more diverse school; they were saying things like "Them white kids got some cool stuff...i want some cool stuff."

Are you talking about the lack of computers and other educational tools!? Is that what you mean by 'cool free stuff'?
Additionally, stop misinterpreting Dawkins you nitwit.
The segment was about desegregation of schools, and had absolutely nothing to do with cognitive psychology.

Fck this fool. Just mad they canceled The Nightly Show so they've nowhere else to troll.

What's missing in movies is same as in society: a good sense of work ethic and living up to ideals.
