Both discriminatory factors are perhaps closely related each other.<br /><br />A colored student can not stay for example in the library of the University of Florida some hours for studing per day because he/she is working and the library closes so early that a working class student can not use it. That' s why the student is underpriviledged due to his need of finding a work and combinating it with studing in a university. <br /><br />At the same time every colored student is psychologically resigned and strongly disbelieves that he/she could be competitive later in the labour market through a higher grade in his diploma because he/she knows that the chances of finding a good job as a minority student are fewer than the chances of white students with average graduation diplomas. Discriminatory practices at every societal level and life situation play a role on this disheartening of minority students. They do not read and fight for a better degree because they think this can not really change their lives.<br /><br />You can read and watch more on my google+ page on my reports of the conference "Cultures of Inequality" organised by the Bavarian American Academy this month. My google+ page and my youtube channel has the name "friends of Amerika Haus Munich".<br />Everything in both pages comes from my hand, the video clips and the short presentations.<br /><br />https://plus.google.com/114612732654119697652/posts<br /><br />Best regards<br /><br />Athena Stafyla<br /><br /><br />Athena Stafylanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-11488416.post-73993968834712446672015-07-20T03:49:48.658-04:002015-07-20T03:49:48.658-04:00You may be right but I was thinking about the curr...You may be right but I was thinking about the current resistance among academics to recognize class.

It was excised during the Cold War. Taft-Hartley gutted leftists from labor; corporate citizens on university boards denied tenure to leftists, the media and journalism was bought-off my conservative think tanks. <br />To keep their work, the social liberals substituted Caucasian for capitalist around the time of the national liberation struggles (anti-European) movements in the colonies.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
