“A well-educated black has a tremendous advantage over a well-educated white in terms of the job market. I think sometimes a black may think they don’t have an advantage or this and that... I’ve said on one occasion, even about myself, if I were starting off today, I would love to be a well-educated black, because I believe they do have an actual advantage.’’
Dumb thing to say politically speaking. But the reality is, people don't differentiate between a black guy who grew up in Baltimore projects from a black guy with two Harvard grad parents. It's pretty clear one is going to be a lot more disadvantage than the other.
They will take a rich black kid over a poor white kid any day in academia.
