Too many young adults emerge from universities with so little. Why not learn a trade instead?

I can't pretend to have any insights into the experiences of successful black people, seeing as I'm neither.

Morehouse, as you no doubt gathered, is what's called an "Historically black college," or HBU. I've always found that to be an odd phrase, since it's also currently black-85 percent of it, to be exact.

For those who believe in systemic racial discrimination-and again, I have no expertise on the subject-the HBUs provide opportunities for black students who, they argue, won't get a fair shake from the Ivy League.

All of this presupposes that the relatively small number of black students in elite institutions is detrimental to blacks.

Hopefully, President Trump's protectionism and producerism will become mainstays of the American conservative agenda.

I expect the progressives will stop talking about the deficit of black people at elite colleges and start talking about the deficit of black people in the trades, manufacturing, and agriculture.

Whites will be earning a living wage in their early teens while black students will be working at mall cafes to pay off their student loans.
