In addition, the state provides three weeks of in-person early voting and voting by mail for anyone who requests a ballot. I have voted by mail and my vote is cast weeks before the polls open. Maybe, we need to let people vote by computers at home or looking for ways to have mobile polling stations to serve these areas where the need is the greatest. I feel the lack of polling stations will more likely have an impact on elderly voters. I feel others have no excuse because as one poster stated I would be more determined than ever to vote if I felt that we were trying to prevent me from voting.

Miss USA and Miss Teen USA are mixed technically but still historic.
Compared to some people in my family that look black. That would fit well in my family and look like they belong with the rest of us.

We also can not discount the fact that many black students are still first generation graduates coming from poverty. Many are not accustom to having money and making sound financial decisions. These are the folk who spend a large part of their earnings on luxury items because they never had those things. You will likely see more students driving fancy cars around A&T than you will see at UNCG. Spending on cars, clothes, trips, and eating out is not building wealth. Step one is to pay off debt, namely student loans.
Aggies aren't defaulting in the droves as you're making it out to be.
Actually they are, compared to the national average. This is somewhat head scratching considering the number of high paid engineers the school graduates. When you compare the two state supported engineering schools in NC, NC State has a 2.8% default rate compared to 10.6% at A&T. The national average is 6.8%
Let see what the lawsuit reveals before we pass judgment on people. We just had an article explaining how they have been taking advantage of certain people. They could compute the aggies payment based on AGI, but NC State may get a break because they use their DI which allows for transportation, food, housing, and other expenses necessary to live.

I just educated the public.  Now a smart lawyer needs to discover are they calculating the cost the same regardless of color.

WC, it was just making a general statement based on an article and what he believes is happening. I posted a counter article where the student loan company is being sued for taking advantage of public workers. Someone posted another article where the disable students have been taking advantage of us well. I understand that other people read this site as well so I post a counter viewpoint that is more close to the truth instead of assuming based on what I think might be true. Believe me, I was  when a college professor said he would never pay those people back, and he was very upset, so I heard his side of the story. I knew he was not lying because I could hear the anger in his voice and see it on his face. After reading about the lawsuit, I thought maybe there is something about the process. Based on my research, the student loan company by their contract with the government is not supposed to turn loans over to fed loans, The company does it to make money and the students have to pay higher fees due to the arrangement. It appears that they are forcing people to default on the loans because I am sure they have some type of insurance or have plans to turn it over to a collection agency which means they get pay. Maybe a smart lawyer will figure out how the company is making money by forcing people to default. When you default, they can garnish your wages, take your tax refund, and no longer get student aid. In the case of the public worker, I believe most have a pension, so they may go after that.

Feds charge R. Kelly with bribing official in Illinois to marry 15-year-old singer Aaliyah in 1994
Embattled R&B star R. Kelly bribed an Illinois official to get a fake ID for an unnamed female a day before he secretly married 15-year-old singer Aaliyah in 1994, federal prosecutors in New York alleged in a new indictment filed Thursday.
The charges allege that Kelly directed someone in August 1994 to bribe the public official into making a false “identification document” for a person identified by authorities only as “Jane Doe #1.”

No need to bribe he could have gone to Bama and married her without any problem. Yes, it seems like they are piling on, and why did n't the person did not speak up at the time. I am sorry but if it was me I would have told everything.

Thanks for posting, and it only shows the extent that the country has gone to keep certain people back. It reminds me of how Kap was treated for bringing attention to an issue that many did realize was an issue in the USA.

Would you agree that going bankrupt because of a bad business decision is different from doing so because you're overspending on luxury items and just aren't good handling money?
NOPE sometimes life happens. Medical Bills have wiped out lots of people. Also, your President just does not pay people and you can check the track record. My point is it can happen to anyone and in the case of the article, the company is forced public workers into a program that will cause some issues. For example, a person can take up to 20 years to pay off the loan, why should they be forced to 10 years which will take the majority of their take-home pay. In the case of the professor, he is a business teacher, so he might have a clue of how to handle his bills. Maybe, he wanted to get his car loan out the way first and double up on the loan payment later. What I found out the company makes all the decisions about your plan although they offer several plans. Why couldn't they put him the 20-year plan which works better for him, so he would not have defaulted.

People it was the 1890s so get over it. Most people are afraid to go against the views of the times and it is difficult to say how some of the people really feel. I know a white man in the 60s that removed chairs out of his drug store because he refused to comply with changing laws of that time; however, in the 80s, he was always around black people.
