"celebrating their accomplishments in the face of hundreds of years of sociological oppression"
Something they themselves did NOT experience proven by they fact they ARE graduation from some say is the BEST university in the world.
I'd bet that MOST "African-Americans" couldn't even name half of the countries in Africa or know the names of their presidents, or whatever their title is.
Many black students at Havard, yes HARVARD are Africans themselves.
Ask yourself this. Can European Americans name the majority of countries in Europe. Can Asian Americans name most of the countries in Asia. My bet is that many would not. So you don't hold whites to a standard that you do to blacks.
True they're not admitting, 900 SAT black students. The preferences black students obtain to get into Harvard exist but aren't substantial. It's the 2nd tier schools where blacks get significant preferences.
Exactly, the fact is it your black and going to Harvard your SAT has to be 1500/1600 or higher. Your essay has to be 20/24 or higher. You have to have extracurriculars longer than Ted Bundy's rap sheet.

apples to oranges
I know of no white who lists their race as European American
Here is the thing. If you want to do what blacks do......its a PACKAGE DEAL. Don't just pick things like wanting to be able to use the N word, because black do, or wanting to have a white only graduation, because blacks do.....how about having a poverty rate of 27% because blacks do. How about having 15 times less wealth....because blacks do. How about having an unemployment rate above 10%, because blacks do. How about increasing your murder rate (white on white crime), because blacks do. How about increasing your out of wedlock births.....the way blacks get to do?
If you want to do what blacks do.....then do it all......see how fun it is then.....then get back with me.
Dumb post. Why would anyone, including blacks want any of this? These are are terrible things that have held blacks down for so long. That's the problem with the mentality of "some" blacks; they believe that these conditions are a just given and should be accepted.
Then you have other hard working blacks who don't accept this as their reality, and they work hard and are successful.
You hear on this message board all the time how what you wrote only applies to a subset of blacks, so why is this your narrative about the black experience????
The vast majority of Americans of all races and persuasions look at this and think, "Are these people nuts?". This is a good thing!
