    Paying forward is an amazing gesture that contributes for generations. Have two friends (I am white) that started the student non-violent demonstrations in Atlanta. They were students at Morehouse and Spellman. Lonnie King just made his transition after some major health issues. His former wife, Alice continues to pay it forward with her spirit and willingness to teach.
    Then of course Oprah made scholarships available and those she helped have form a group to do the same thing. They've raised hundreds of thousands. 👍🏻❤

      They already pay for it with donations and taxes. Colleges collect massive amounts of cash from donations from corporations, dividends from investments and grants, and state and local taxes. They apparently pocket all this money and continue charging just as much for tuition, despite also receiving billions in financial aid from the federal government as well for low-income students. The price you pay for tuition is the price you can afford over the price of the loan, it has nothing to do with how much money everyone else is already paying into that college.

If you think God is about ruthlessness and exploitation for the purpose of self preservation, then I guess you are correct. But that is not how I view God. A billionaire does not accumulate that wealth from being God-like. They do so by any means necessary. By your logic figures like Pablo Escobar the cocaine kingpin are blessed by God to become the billionaires they became.
