- chasingthewind 7y agoI'm extremely conflicted about this kind of thing. On the one hand, student debt is extremely burdensome and the system in the U.S. is terrible. This was also obviously very generous. But a one-off donation like this leaves me wondering how it must feel to be someone who graduated from Morehouse last year or will graduate next year. It just reinforces the idea that getting ahead in the U.S. is often really a matter of luck or, worse yet, the whims of oligarchs. I wish the U.S. wasn't so consistently operated like a giant series of perverse lottery drawings around race, genetics, birthplace, schools, etc.
