I remember the smartest person I ever knew. He happened to be black. Got into Johns Hopkins Med School without a problem.

The man aced EVERYTHING undergrad.

I can't explain why. He was not American. Jamaican IIRC.

He studied ALL the time, almost like it was a religion for him.

We had an American black guy in our freshman dorm group who ended up with a 4.0 in EE. This is a nontrivial accomplishment.

He was an exception though.

Wow, I think this is him:

Reading just a little between the lines, I’m doing more than OK, and I’d estimate his net worth at easily an order of magnitude more than mine, and probably two to three.

I think I see a connection.
