I did not read the entire thread but I would love to share and anecdote...
but first let me give you my background... i am 100% West Indian ( Caribbean) but i was raised in the "dirty south" of Atl, GA..... side note [ all races of American women are nicer than a Caribbean women, we were groomed to be more critical of our spouses and family, we are a bit more abrasive secondary to a very turbulent history], and I suppose I could pass as an intellectual person
. Im 21 y/o and obtained a B.S Biology this past summer... and my next step is MED School
.
okay now that's out the way the anecdote:
I was riding in the car with my AA Adonis AKA Ex, the guy who I foolishly left my studies at times to assist, feed,
chauffeur, Tutor , cater to whenever he asked me too... yea that Pre-MED AA male....
and as I was telling him how proud I am of myself for finally having a 4.o semester ... he cut me off and told me ..." you know for every one of me ( educated AA male) there is over 100 of you ( Educated AA F), not many AA males make it to college, when i am ready to settle down, all I have to do is choose"...
its an euphoric feeling to be in the company of an educated..pre med AA, but it is an even better feeling to be in the presence of someone that is humble
