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.
All of these leaders coming from Ivy League colleges with their advanced degrees for decades....yet, the country finds itself in the shape it is in today and we see govt literally fumble everything they are put in charge of.
Endless wars, horrific debt, spending money we do not have, sending some of said money to enemy foreigners, propping up one regime and then turning around and funding another regime against them, runaway inflation, zero control over our borders, barely functional govt healthcare website, Amtrak.....the list goes on....
Sorry...I am not impressed as some of you all are by these overly educated people. Seems everything these people touch turns to sh*t.
What utter nonsense...........you should stop posting off the top of your head.

In 2020 USD.......
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 ives on less Thant $10 US per day.
The Dollar is much stronger in basically every foreign country. But Botswana has a very small population and Ghana’s population is also on the smaller end. While Nigeria had a lot of rich people, when talking USD 1 million dollar sad the baseline U.S blows Nigeria out of the water. Now if your baseline as 100 million dollars controlles for PPP then Nigeria is very comparable and might actually have more than Black America.
U.S has 40% of all people worth U.S, 1,000,000 dollars though do this trend is very much expected.

Obama got t where he was because of AA, yes, he could have gotten into a state college or Jr. College with the same qualifications were he white or Asian but not Harvard. Had I been black with the same qualifications, I would have gotten into Harvard (I probably would have chosen Stanford).
Either you're entirely ignorant of how Affirmative Action has advanced people with lower qualifications or not being forthright.
I would be more impressed with Obama if he had invented the internet like Algore did.

My baseline is a Ph.D in economics. Frankly, I'm pretty sure you have no idea what you are talking about.
Anyway here is Per Capita PPP-GDP which simply kills your argument.....2020 data per The IMF
Apparently President Obama scored a 30 ACT which roughly translates to 1360/1370 SAT.
See, a borderline dummy
Bill Cosby scored a 500 and got into Temple. There are plenty of highly intelligent black people but one can't go on their ability to be admitted into a certain university like you can in the case of whites and Asians.

If Obama got to where he was due to affirmative action, then he is an ideal example of the policy working, don't you agree?

You clearly don’t know the average black student at Harvard. Both me and my sibling got 1370 and 1460 on our SATs respectively and my brother got rejected from UT, while I couldn’t even sniff Rice or University of Georgia. 1450 minimum is what you need to even be considered for an Ivy League school if your not a Valedictorian, or have a 4.00 GPA and a whole list of other things on top of it.
The majority of Harvard students are Valedictorians and Salutatorians including the black ones.
