    The incredible moment an elated 16-year-old found out he got into Harvard was caught on camera -- and then his brother’s acceptance to Stanford and the celebration that ensued after was also recorded:pic.twitter.com/Iv4ulZELa7

        A young black man gets accepted into Harvard at the age of 16 and his brother to Standford, yet this country doesn’t give certain people the same opportunities as others....Yea right. Congrats young man. May you be a guide for the bums out there screaming inequality.

        Oh, hey, two black kids got into prestigious colleges, so that shows there’s no racism or inequality anywhere! Idiot.

        Never said there wasn’t racism. I said everyone is given the same opportunities in this country. Retard

        Just keep showing your ignorance. Everyone is given the same opportunities? What color is the sky in your world of sunshine and lollipops?

        Tell me how my statement isn’t true buddy. What laws, schools, grants, assistance programs, scholarships, etc etc doesn’t allow black people or any people for that matter to participate or have the opportunity to use or earn to make something of themselves.

        Actually bill is correct... some people have more opportunities than others thanks to affirmative action... and it’s not white people or Asian people

        Affirmative action meaning black only colleges and scholarships?

        All students should be this excited to get into college. The best education is the one that absorbed and applied by an engaged learner. It has nothing to do with where you attend.

        The media often focus on the negative stories of the young black males. It's great to see the positive ones.
