Harvard Segregated Graduated…don’t be ridiculous!

Boy, it seems like ages since last I wrote. What the heck, it has been ages! A lot has happened (we’ll talk about that later); I’m bursting to talk about everything, but today I’m starting with a resurrected story from May 2017, that is being presented as current events in order to keep “you know what ” going.  So, I decided  to start  with this nonsense  of a segregated graduation at Harvard, which, for the record, is not true. From my understanding, Afro American students wanted to highlight the difficulty in getting admitted, studying and eventually graduating from a prestigious school. They wanted to highlight the fact that graduating  is difficult  even for students from affluent situations but, just that much more difficult for students who have been marginalized. The ceremony was intended to show others in similar situations, that if you too work hard and apply yourself, regardless of where you come from or what you look like, you can make it. It was that simple. Is that truly so hard to understand?
