That right there, is why your statement is suspect. Perfect SAT and ACT huh? Sure.

2370/2400 SAT, 36/36 ACT, 175/180 LSAT, yes. I’m so lucky America propped me up

Hah. No. You've 100% proven through your posting that you are lying. Its ok. Its America. Its 2020. You can pretend to be anything you want to be.

I’m smarter than the average person and more privileged than the average black person

So it’s privilege that put you ahead? So how did Obama, Ben Carson, Condi Rice, Thomas Sowell, Clarence Thomas, Charles Payne, etc overcome that lack of privilege?

 

[Weezer]

LOL what would you rather me say? I can’t say I’m smart and the only correct answer is “America did it because racism is fake?”

It's the implication that you are more intelligent than others. It's one thing to simply say "I've been more fortunate than others.". It's quite another to imply your success is due to intellect, which implies others "were not as smart as you". Plenty of intelligent people slip through the cracks.

I was a U.S. Presidential Scholar, which is where the Department of Education selects one boy and one girl from each state (probably looser on gender now) and fly them to DC for a week. We stayed at Georgetown, had a banquet where Secretary of Education Arne Duncan spoke to us, at one point we met with Biden on the White House lawn and Reggie Love was asking which of us were going to Duke. They also pick a number of arts scholars, who got to perform in the Kennedy Center and blew all of us away. And to even receive an application for this program, you have to have something like 33+ on the ACT and 1450+/2200+ or something like that on the SAT. But sure, feel free to think what you want

And plenty of “average” black people are doing just fine in life.

I'm not saying everyone who falls through the cracks isn't smart or that everyone who succeeds succeeds because they're smarter. "More privileged" IS "more fortunate," which is what I said. But I'm also fortunate to be naturally gifted, where again I fully acknowledge that I'm lucky but don't think I should pretend it isn't true when people ask

I pretend that I own 13% of Amazon which is one more % that Bezos does and I pretend to call his private number every Friday just to rub it in .

Fairly obvious you're not a humble person. But that's okay. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round.

 

[MG1968]

What year?

And did Biden fondle the female award recipient?

 

[FLVOL_79]

And did Biden fondle the female award recipient?

We can look at the awards list and find out.

 

[NashVol11]

What year?

Prefer not to share and essentially dox myself, but you're welcome to check that everything in my previous post lines up

 

[NashVol11]

Oof, I hope not

Of course. LOL

I'm not saying you're wrong, but a starting point of "if racism exists, why did you succeed?" is a terrible starting point. The question has obvious and gigantic holes in it, and if I just say it's because I'm lucky like you apparently want me to, I get to deal with a fun little avalanche of "HOW COULD YOU BE SO LUCKY IN SUCH AN ALLEGEDLY RACIST COUNTRY" and we both know it

 

[NashVol11]

Of course. LOL

I gave you basically everything but my name haha. "Of course" my ass. Many here also know that I went to a pretty good school, it shouldn't be that hard to believe that my test scores were good too

2370/2400 SAT, 36/36 ACT, 175/180 LSAT, yes. I’m so lucky America propped me up

Ok. Congratulations on your accomplishments that were achieved through personal choices and responsibilities. Why can't this same logic be applied to black america as a whole v.s. the current systemic racism narrative?

Racism is not the primary hurdle most black people face.

 

[NurseGoodVol]

Not even meant as a "gotcha" if I'm being honest. I just want to know why the inverse of the argument wouldn't also be true?

It actually by definition would be.

 

[FLVOL_79]

I've role played too.

 

[Weezer]

I know. Yet somehow when I ask those questions they go unanswered. Go figure, right?

 

[Weezer]

The answer to that is simple. Never accept personal responsibility when you can find somewhere else to place the blame.

Are you also the one that didn't know you'd have to start at the bottom when you started work? I'm trying to reconcile supposed perfect scores and that massive separation from reality.

 

[NashVol11]

I've role played too.

How would I know where we stayed, or that our pictures were all in USA Today? I'll wait for you to find a hole in what I'm saying
