He mentioned that his Yale degree wasn’t good enough to get him a job as a lawyer in Atlanta because the affirmative action system in place (he said that the minorities were let in, and promoted with the same rules as the rich legacy students) so devalued his degree which he earned on his academics regardless of his color. But no one knew this, it made his degree worthless.

He said that later on that his Yale Law degree has been credited with getting him to where he is now. He said that this is the same degree that wouldn’t get him a job after he graduated, and that they can’t have it both ways.

This is paraphrased, any error in transcription is mine.
