Ben, your college years were not waisted. You’re smart. I work in the high-tech industry. When I worked for Daimler Chrysler, I was the only so-called black person in a department of about 25 people. Whenever I wanted a promotion, they just threw me more money. I was one of three out of 25 with a college degree and a formal I.T. education. Man! All they ever talked about was how they hated Mexicans and how minorities were taking over America. I kid you not. I would look around and see that I was the only minority in a high-paying work environment.

My dad told me when I was a kid and not paying any attention in school: ‘ Son, you have to work hard in school and hard in life, because you have to be five times better than the other people, just to make the same money, because you’re black’. His words ring true to this day. And it will remain so until the black man’s dark heritage has washed out into this society. Of course, because we are human, we will find another group to single out and marginalize.
