College and University Discussion
maybe it has something to do with the fact that Morehouse has produced U.S. Senator, Nobel Peace Prize laureate, Oscar winner, fortune 500 ceos, board of directors, corporate executives, U.S. Homeland Security Secretary, Surgeon General |
And international Civil Rights Icon, MLK, Jr. [end of debate]. |
All of which doesn't even begin to compare to any of the ivies... |
who said it does? |
I think he is saying why do employers on WallStreet value a degree from Morehouse / Spelman the same as a degree from Harvard, even though Morehouse / Spelman is lowly ranked, if it wasn't just to fill a DEI requirement |
Which Ivy has produced the equivalent of MLK, Jr? Which Ivy has produced a graduate that has a federal holiday named after them? Who has inspired other Civil Rights/freedom movements around the world? |
Spelman College is ranked #39 among National Liberal Arts Colleges. If you think that’s “lowly ranked,” I’m happy to let you keep believing it. Thankfully, your opinion is worthless. |
Pretty bad rank for liberal arts colleges and well...it isn't Harvard no matter how hard you delude yourself to believe otherwise. |
...All of them by creating some of the most impactful politicians and leaders in American society. You cannot be this blind just because you have a bias for a single institution. |
I don't think the college choice has much at all to do with the leader. Bayard Rustin went to Cheney, which isn't that great of a college. The ivies have definitely graduated civil rights leaders around the world, they've graduated some of the most essential post-colonial leaders in Africa, are you kidding?! |
It's such a ridiculous comment. I wonder if they think W.E.B Dubois is a nobody too? Barack Obama ring a bell? Angela Davis? Kentanji Brown Jackson a nobody? Toni Morrison? Zora Neale Hurston? I guess Shirley Chisholm was alright? Langston Hughes...I could keep going, but I'm not sure if Constance Baker Motley is an appropriate enough answer for them. |
Bayard Rustin made great contributions to the Civil Rights Movement, but MLK, Jr. is THE FACE of the Civil Rights Movement. They are not the same. No Ivy has produced a SINGLE Civil Rights figure or humanitarian with a stature equal to MLK, Jr. if they had, you would have already named them. Morehouse has also produced Julian Bond, Spike Lee, Maynard Jackson, Dr. David Satcher, Jeh Johnson, Sen. Raphael Warnock, Howard Thurman, Calvin Butts, Edwin Moses, among many others. |
A single black civil rights figure. The rest of the world, and really most people in the US, are cackling at this comment. |
Shh, you can't hurt their feelings. They're emotional and can't understand why hardly anyone knows anything about Howard or Spelman, but everyone has heard of the ivies. |
You should really get outside more often: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_Harvard_University_people |
