White people have advantages/privileges in every single aspect of their life. They get promoted easier, they get paid more, they get lighter sentences for committing the same crimes, they get bank loans easier, almost everything tilts to their favor. Yet black people get a little extra help in a few things and white people go apeshit.

While I think you're being facetious, this point is worth making. Poor blacks will frequently get accepted (we're generally talking about elite universities here) at higher rates than middle class and wealthy blacks because it allows universities to meet racial and socioeconomic "quotas" (I scare-quoted that because I'm pretty sure it's illegal for them to do racial quotas at the undergraduate level - it can be a part of the decision but not all) at the same time.

I swear some of you so called intellectuals are retarded sometimes. Why do you deny that races are different when the evidence is staring you right in the face.

Even after adjusing for household income, even with the students going the exact same school hence being the same learning environment, the blacks still score lower?

lol, I thought you'd like that.

Listen, I agree that education should be earned, not paid for, but the rich-shithead "legacies" pay for SO MUCH. I'm broke, and I hate them too, but they take almost twice as long to make it through sometimes, and that is a lot of extra money for other people, and money to update and improve the schools faculties as well.

Don't forget, once you succeed, your kids will be "legacies" too.
