[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"The system may be uneequal, but so is the competion."  Great way to put it. Can I share it with my kids - could alleviate some stress.  BTW good thing some readers don't understand it. [/quote]

Underestimate the competition at your own peril.  I'm a black lawyer.  I got a 174 on my LSAT and had a 3.95 GPA.  If you come at me thinking I'm some underqualified token, you're going to get your ass handed to you.  [/quote]

are you black or biracial identifying as black? [/quote]

Lol as if a "full black" cant be successful.

Im not the PP, but I am full black and my parents and a grandmother are college/grad school educated. One parent also grew up poor.  I grew up in an upper middle class household, parents valued education, and people in my immediate and extended family are engineers, scientists, dentists, teachers, education administrators, doctors, lawyers (multiple), professors, a VP of a large publisher, etc. Everyone in my immediate and extended family went to college and about 80% went to grad school.  My husband and I are also doing quite well. Forgot to add... we grew up in PG county.

Its crazy that throughout this thread its assumed that black people dont value education even if they're poor or that they had to overcome all of these obstacles to become successful. Obviously there are things minorities have to go through such as the stereotypes in this thread or being poor/assumed poor while on the road to success. Nonetheless education is definitely valued in the black community, esp when its used to pull someone else up.

People can be so ignorant. [/quote]

I posted recently on another thread and mentioned that I was black and that I liked our diverse DC neighborhood--someone asked me the same question, i.e., was I biracial.  So odd and creepy.[/quote]
