    3:21 ... "who's laughing now baby" "ha, ya, ya that would be me", "uh, that would be them" .... huh? I don't quite understand that reaction and why she would say, "um, that would be them" What that tells me, is that he did not like being called Harvard and that the host doesn't understand him not wanting to be "made fun of". Lol that was kind of a funny back and forth mis-undestanding of each other.

    What happened at the contaminated water summit last week, CNN? I know that bad government blocked your reporter from attending but still, you could probably find out some information if you try. Or why not randomly pick 100 communities in the United States and test the water yourself? Corporate sponsors shouldn't block telling the public about ingesting contaminants. Surely at least one journalist has a conscience and cares about public health. Anyone?

    Here is the issue to all you . This young man did not accept his a color as a reason to fail. He had challenges and he chose to proceed with determination. He is the poster child of white the majority of white Americans know what you can do and some black Americans what you can do. So the comments are sarcasm not racism for the most part. This guy can have easily fell for the trap of white privileged or the trap of you are a victim. He proves that it’s a bull crap .. So follow his example and invest in your self and not into hate victim mentality or Democrats push that says you are black and you should be on welfare . I’m a conservative and I say black Americans are way better then welfare !!!! You are so don’t let Democrats think it’s your place. You don’t need training wheels in life ..

      Cause he is smart, but racist, jealous people insist on making him seem like a joke or that he got in because of Affirmative Action. What's even more laughable is that it mostly benefits white women, not minorities. It just shows how messed up people are... worrying about the wrong thing! 😂
