When i was in middle school i was told by fellow white students black people didn't invent anything and there was nothing in the history books at school to dispel that lie. To be educated in true history you have to go to the library or take specific college courses. But that's why they think like that because what's being said at home and because the truth being omitted from schools

      As far as Harvard specifically as it pertained to my own high school graduating class, we had a gifted Physics professor from India. His daughter was at the top 5% in our school along with having numerous extra-curricular academic activities in her repertoire. She was rejected acceptance into Harvard. Our professor was privy to all the students affairs and learned a classmate of hers was only in the 90% ranking in our class (bottom 10%) but he was a good athlete with NO outside activities except for the seasonal sport. The professor/father justifiably berated this system in a moving speech to the entire school. His tears were completely moving, and I agreed with his point.

    I'm just saying, at least for elected officials, it might be worthwhile to consider duels for honor becoming legal again. The GOP loves to quote the old man, “An armed society is a polite society. Manners are good when one may have to back up his acts with his life.” Maybe they ought to live it out. Given the sheer amount of disrespect and dishonor they have heaped even onto veterans and service members, much less the minorities their laws target, I think those of us they malign should be allowed to express that in a way that might actually matter to them. They're protected from defamation suits, they're protected from criminal defamation prosecution, they're even allowed to lie to their voters' faces about basic facts of reality, like their heritage or even easily verifiable facts. We have a 2nd Amendment, allegedly to protect us from tyrants, meaning those who would rule over us rather than serve us as civil leaders, maybe we should put our proverbial money where our mouths are.
    And no, I don't think it's necessary to go full high noon wild west shootout; even a simple boxing match would do the trick for most of these cowards. Bullies will often back down in fear once they face any real consequences.

      More than just race I think. The new GOP members are from the past. You need to find the time machine that they created and destroy it!

      So you're saying that only whites from privilege should be allowed to get ivy league educations. You're saying that less privileged whites are never given assistance from boosters and other organizations. Are you saying that one black in ten thousand or one million receiving a lucky draw is to much and totally unfair. Explain your reasons for so much hate.

    I'm guessing that if a black student at Harvard was ranked 2, they ACTUALLY earned rank One.
