His father had a Masters degree in Economics from Harvard, his mother earned a PhD in anthropology, so academic achievement was common in his family. At Columbia he earned a 3.7 GPA. At Harvard he graduated Magna *** Laude.
I know an uneducated person like yourself wouldn't care what that means, but it is Latin for "with great distinction". Generally it applies to only the top students in the class. No amount of affirmative action is going to get you that kind of honors at Harvard.
Don't get personal or get your panties all tied up in a wad (I have a Doctorate Degree without an AA bump). I saw Obama's SAT score and it was lower than mine but close enough for me to consider him a near equal in intellect but nothing super special.
You mean the Obama who graduated from Columbia University, then went on to graduate from Harvard Law School? The guy who was President of the Harvard Law review?
The man who won two Presidential elections, with 365 and 322 electoral votes? The president who was ranked by historians as 12th to 17th among all Presidents?
Germans and Norwegians are successful no matter where you put them and without shaming society into putting them in positions they aren’t qualified for.
Exactly. And primarily why quality with everything in America has gone completely down the chitter.
Show me one other country that has as many successful black people as America?

You would think all black people are impoverished and live in apartheid slums just by listening to the mainstream media. It is ludicrous.
Why do people fall for this trap?
We are more than the color of our skin.
Stop listening to whiney Leftists, they are useful idiots in this foreign plot to destroy the most opportunity-providing country ever, from the inside out.
So what's your point; they should all thank Bwana for dragging them here in chains? Or they should thank Bwana for allowing them into universities (after a war was fought that nearly tore the country apart, just to end slavery and allow the freed slaves to learn to read and go to school) to be the best they can be, if they can find someone to hire them?
True, but I would still say India, and China has more successful Indian/Chinese people but theirs over 30x more people. I would also say Nigeria has a similar amount of successful people if you define it as wealthy and it’s debatable if you’d define it as middle class. But theirs 5 times as many Nigerians as African Americans.

As far as I can find, Obama has never made his SAT score public, so I have my doubts about your story. But, assuming you are telling the truth, Obama's SAT score was close to yours, you got into college and graduate school, but you claim no way Obama could have done so without affirmative action? Dude, you're not making sense.
If you want to argue that blacks aren't smart enough to accomplish things without affirmative action, you might want to pick a different example than Barack Obama.
I think most of them are/were in Nigeria not sure. In the USA something like 40% of Nigerians get graduate degrees.
How many of those are athletes involved in college sports and eventually go on to pro-sports where they make a absolute fortune? At the college platform, those who are good at various sports bring in lots of money for the college. That's the number 1 objective for colleges to get those to play on their team. Do you have any idea how much money any college brings in from sports/athletics? Just one example is Stanford Football, which is a multibillion dollar income for the University. Just that one sport. When a kid can help bring in that type of dough for the University, that University pulls out all stops so the kid can come and help with that. One example! Just one! The kid can be a total rock (IQ) and they pull out all stops to make that happen.

Whatever. He’s still an affirmative action student, senator, and president.
He got all of those because of his skin color, which by definition is racist.
Certainly Botswana, Ghana and probably also Nigeria.
That's just off the top of my head.
Have you been anywhere outside of the US? Do you do business outside of the US?
Maybe you need to get out of your rural and red corner of the world
What utter nonsense...........you should stop posting off the top of your head.

Botswana - PCGDP $6,710.........77% of population lives on less than $10 US per day.
Ghana - PCGDP $2,328.............78% of population lives on less than $10 US per day.
Nigeria - PCGDP $2,097............98+% of population lives on less than $10 US per day.
USA - $63,543.........................~2.75% of population lives on less Thant $10 US per day.
If "they" are lowering testing standards and cancelling AP classes that would seem to affect whites as well as blacks, no?
Please stop with the misdirection.
1. Teachers use and teach elements of CRT every day and have for years.
2. "They" most defiantly are lowering testing standards, attempting to do away with tests etc. and it has little or nothing to do with helping whites.
