a) Was that all they were learning?
b) Have you been to that institution yourself to see what is taught?
c) Have you any evidence to demonstrate that graduates from such institutions never get into college, or never get a "good job"?
d) Does such time spent in such an institution automatically exclude the ability or probability of attending other educational institutions at a later time?

house slave? Not sure what you mean and why the status of a slave should seen as a bad thing. Assuming that's what you were trying to imply.

A lot of US public schools are mediocre at best as well. I guess we should fault those parents too for not putting them in elite schools. Same logic.

I don't see why that would be a negative label. Am i supposed to feel inferior? Is this an american thing because it sounds a bit messed up.

Yeah, it is.. under the American slavery system, the "house ******" was a slave who worked in the master's house. They received better clothing, better food, and better treatment from their masters, and were often expected to act as superiors or "overseers" of the other slaves. They were usually hated and resented.

In the 1960s, the term was popularized by Malcolm X to refer to black people who acted "white" or those who the Black Power movement viewed as co-opting their principles and racial identity in exchange for material gain & approval from "the man."

oh right. Well then Jaysh is pretty stupid to assume that a healthy dose of doubt doesn't do the mind good.
