I'll start with her.....

An avid student, Mae Jemison earned dual degrees in chemical engineering and African-American studies at Stanford University, while becoming fluent in Japanese, Russian and Swahili. She received a doctor of medicine degree from Cornell University and then served in the Peace Corps in Sierra Leone and Liberia. Upon her return to the United States, Jemison applied to the astronaut program at NASA.

Of course you don't see it as often. There's better than 7 whites for every black and yes there was a lot of oppression and the like but to say that there's "oh so many obstacles" when there were black congressmen within a decade or two after the civil war, and about a hundred years ago the black employment rate and black crime rate were both better than the white ones on average doesn't really hold that much water. This idiotic idea of overglorifying successful blacks simply because of their race is still racism, and in fact is somewhat condescending.

If you're gonna stereotype at least do it somewhat accurately. I don't support Trump (although I would support him over any D candidate easily), I don't come here because it's some fancy "hacker underground blah blah" website, I come here to laugh and be entertained. And I certainly don't come here to really talk politics when there's a hundred other websites to do that on.

But yeah apparently thinking that a politically minded thread that praises competent black people more for being black than for being competent is above criticism simply illustrates your own biases and lack of critical thinking.

Her degrees speak more about her intelligence than the languages desu. The thing is, being curious and learning a lot of things usually correlates with intelligence, which is why we often make the assumption you described, which isn't necessarily true.

Becoming an astronaut though isn't about intelligence, it's about the effort you are willing go to.
