In response to comments about affirmative action - White men who did not meet Harvard's standards have gotten into Harvard for decades. I would bet that the white men who objected to affirmative action are the same white men that never objected to Harvard letting in legacy students, athletics not meeting the standards, and just rich kids whose daddy paid big bucks to get their kids in. The first time some white men objected to Harvard's admission standards was when Black kids got in. So yes, it is directly related to affirmative action.
In response to comments about stop emphasizing Harvard, although I agree our culture has an unhealthy fixation on elite educational institutions, there are some very successful Black men, Geoffrey Canada and Richard Buery to name two, who attended elite institutions and used those connections (networks) to raise millions for their nonprofits that help thousands of young people. I agree we should focus far more on vocational education, but given the current domination of the capitalist system, I would like to see more students of color in elite institutions.
