private loans, a job, win the lotto - or just have a rich daddy. Fair as fuck.

I never said you didn't. But if you remove govt. funds then you leave everything on an unequal playing field: where some people get good edu***ions on the back of their parents, and others have to work/win the lottery etc.

And all you really do is reproduce the existing class structure apart from a few changes (ie you).

You exactly right brother because white folks just hate to see one dollar spent on edu***ing black folks when they can spend five dollars locking them up in prisons where they cannot vote or influance the white folks laws.

Exactly right. I know MANY people (white) who got PELL grants who could not afford college any other way.

This isn't a black/white issue.

Are you actually a real person - I still think you're Samson with too much time on his hands.
