    Are we supposed to believe that black women are given different terms than everyone else for the debt they elect to take on?? Pretty sure struggling with debt is the same for anyone, regardless of skin color or sex.

    It’s not just black women, but women in general owe 70% of the student loan debt. I don’t accept their excuses for not being able to repay it. Repay your loans!!

    If you graduated college without once reading a whole book, I do not feel sorry for you. If you spent all of your loans on decorating your dorm or apartment with garbage from Kohl's or TJ Maxx, I do not feel sorry for you. If you never bought groceries, but instead, decided to eat at restaurants every day during college, I do not feel sorry for you. Time to grow up, and time to pay up.

    Women want to be acknowledged by that piece of paper so bad and behind closed doors struggling to survive

    Forget college. Go to a trade school at a fraction of the cost and study to be an electrician, plumber, 18 wheel driver, or a host of other good paying jobs.

    1. Women outnumber men in college 3:2, so of course they'd have more of the share of debt.

    They’re strong and independent, I’m sure their psychology, communications and gender studies degrees would eventually pay off.

    Thank god, I overcame student loan debt. Do you guys really think these loan sharks🦈 are out to help you-lending mortgage loans, credit cards, student loans, car, and personal loans etc? You got another thing coming. If you can't afford it, don't touch it. This system is design to put the masses in debt. Wake up!

    Access to an affordable education isn't a black thing or a woman thing, It's a money thing !

    Going to college was worth it. It wasn't easy but I got through it all and I managed to pay my loans off. Don't get discouraged.

    This is something men must factor into their decision in marrying a black woman with massive student loan debt, especially when you as the man has little or no student loan debt. That’s an instant and large major liability that can be an albatross on a married couple. It creates a huge obstacle qualifying for a mortgage loan because the student loan payments dramatically spikes the DTI ratios not including credit card, auto loans and other debts she likely has. It’s some that MUST be addressed along with debt loads overall because a key contributor to divorce is financial struggles that create tension in a marriage.

    They shouldn't have taken those loans. Time for them to pay what they owe.

    I guess college doesnt make one smart enough to realize you need to have a plan to pay back the loan. If you go to college, you need to commit to working after you graduated. Stop making it about race. Unbelievable
