[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Barry made it on to law review via the write-on process because he had one of the  "discreiotnary slots" for being black and then his co-editors elected him President because they thought it would be cool to have the first black editor in their class. I was there.[/quote]

This is true to some degree. There was likely a cool factor in having the first black editor, just like we know there was a cool factor in electing the first black president. However the cool factor isn't the only factor. He likely was also someone who was well liked, a leader, talented, and intelligent. That is why he rose to the top and out of all the 'discretionary spots' he stood out. Same as for being president. There are almost 40 million black Americans. Out of these he rose to being the first black President. Again, not because he was black and he won the lucky raffle 'President' prize out of 40 million people, but because he was smart, talented, a leader, a politician, etc...[/quote]
