I would not trust a black surgeon in a million years
???

Pretty harsh. I’m sorry you feel that way.
Ben Carson is one of my inspirations, and I’ve known & worked with...ohh, about a half-dozen black doctors over my 20-year career. Every one of them was EXCELLENT.

Hmmm... 2.6 and then onto Harvard Law. Just how exactly does that work?

It helps if a prominent Saudi prince takes a personal interest in your career.

He’s what we call an “overachiever”: Someone who has worked their butt off to reach the top, but in terms of their mental agility and acuity, they just don’t cut it.

I take exception to that, I think he took the Affirmative Action Express Elevator along with the help of some lefty friends. Those incompletes don't show me a butt being worked off.

2.6? Yeh thats real Harvard Law Review material.

[Mike Darancette]

Triple Nine Society seems to be libertarian leaning and is OK with military and guns. Obama surely would not qualify.

“If I had had a GPA under 3.4 I don’t think I would have even bothered applying to any Grad schools!”

When I applied for grad school you had to have at least a 3.0 in undergraduate to even apply.

Someone who has worked their butt off to reach the top

I see no evidence that this is the case either.

[SgtHooper]

Somehow, that does not fit my definition of “work”. But I guess over the years, that meaning has been sodomized as well.

[Sherman Logan]

Silly headline.

There are a good many Mensa qualifiers who did poorly in school.

[Waryone]

I guess you’ve never heard about Ben Carson. One of the most famous pediatric neurosurgeons on earth.

You may not ever need to trust him, but there are many people who have travelled very far to trust those most precious to them to his very gifted hands.

[Lancey Howard]

Thank you for your kind reply.

I’m glad to hear that Ben Carson has overcome the stigma of “affirmative action”. One can only wonder how many other great, though less well known, black doctors and other black professionals have had their competence and qualifications questioned thanks to the insulting disgrace known as “affirmative action”.
