>According to a study conducted in late April by the U.S. Department of Education and the National Institute of Literacy, 32 million adults in the U.S. can’t read. That’s 14 percent of the population. 21 percent of adults in the U.S. read below a 5th grade level, and 19 percent of high school graduates can’t read.

Yes, in the same way that ass-to-mouth porn equates to freedom in this shithole of a country

To be fair, the majority of those adults will be niggers.

So its hardly fair to say its an "American" problem and not an "African-American" problem. Its very easy to forget how badly the USA is overrun with non-whites to the extent that by this time next year, they could very well only be a 53% white country.

You can't just blame it on blacks. Their entire community is 12% of the population. Even if every single one of them couldn't read, that wouldn't be a valid excuse.

Add to that more mixed Hispanics as well, and you will get your number

Beaners and blacks skew all statistics.

Pretty sure it's rural white trash. There aren't many places where illiterate people can live normally. And those places are usually over 90% white.

Nope, looks like I'm wrong.

Literacy affects how you perceive the world and the organization of events in your mind. I wouldn't say illiteracy is specifically a bad thing.

Farmers, for example, make up a large portion of the illiterate population in the USA. By hanging out with them you would never know they were illiterate nor would you question their intelligence. Sure... they can't fucking read and should stay out of political and academic climates but their talents come in handy, none the less.

It's a powerful testament to human resilience and the strength of symbolic representation.

But how could they tell which of the checkboxes is Trump's?

Where do you think we are?

>>131495072
In a way, yes.

it limits your meme interaction, making you less susceptible to memes (literacy is literally learning to put other people's words in your head) but also makes you incapable of memeing others, thus reducing your capacity for deception.

All in all, if you're going to be illiterate you'd better be pretty fucking skilled in some other walk of life

It's still disgraceful for a first world country. Every post-commie shithole has a literacy rate of over 99.5% (thanks, likbez). Is mandatory education too communist for 'MURICA ?

That's a confirmed false flag (not that I have anything against psyops that make neocon patriotards look stupid).
