And he won’t have to pay anything either. In a few years, he will graduate with a degree that he doesn’t deserve. Then he will get dozens of job offers for jobs that he isn’t qualified for. He will be promoted and be making much more money than qualified people. And he will go around blaming Whites for all the problems in the world.

Thanks, I had to go read the whole thing. Excellent commentary. (I was wondering how in the heck he ever got anything published in Harper’s, even back in 1981.)

Virtually everything revolves around what blacks want, demand, do, or can't do. Their power seems without limit."

thanks to white guilt, white self hatred, and white self doubt

a once-very fine university whose faculty decided (some years back) to give 100 perent of all available scholarship funds to applicants of a single race, only, and to nobody else they said)

even the very best schools can be ruined by racist faculties
or administrators, or by allowing IslamoNazi thugs and terrorists to “excercise their free speech rights” by threatening, intimidating, screaming at Christians and Jewish students and visitors (think UC, SFSU in California, plus several once-good colleges in the East, etc.

even the best schools can descend straight to Hell if they allow (or promote) racist or anti-Christian or anti-Jewish gangs, outbursts, and threats on campus

Don't be fooled! Any Internet search returns a long record of this boy and why his admission to Standford was as prearranged as Obama's admission to Harvard Law.

He's a Muslim activist who for at least the past 2 years, has been connected to the top Democrat leaders playing their standard Islamaphobia and racism cards.

The JSW answers to the Application was merely a propaganda ploy staged by the Left with the boy cast to play his part.

His name and all the political activism tilted the decision in his direction. So did the creativity of his smartass response to the essay prompt.

Years ago one of my kids was in a H.S. that was ranked for years as #1 in the country. I volunteered with the guidance department. In one discussion, the topic came up of a student who wasn’t an academic standout being accepted to Princeton. A counselor asked me if I knew who wrote his letter of recommendation. While not divulging the individual, (confidentiality, don’t you know) it was clear it was someone VERY important. Maybe then-Pres. Clinton for all I know.

The following year, the student with the lowest SATs in that school’s graduating class (keeping in mind that at the school that meant @ 1450 of 1600) was admitted to Harvard. His national ranking as an athlete no doubt helped offset any academic shortcomings. Harvard turns down dozens if not 100s of 1600 SAT score, straight A students each year.

College admissions comes down to the small things. In this kid’s case, it was the name, his political activism, and his creativity in repeating a brief response 100x.

I’m pretty sure that’s Eric Estrada.

And repeating it 100 times is “creativity”?
