Formal education doesnt all equal success. Some of these rappers learn the game while being in it and expand their skills further than just rapping. Of course, some of them will just disappear when everyone realize that they suck :uhhok:

Oh yes. Not being judged for being black every day is probably more of a privilege than having a "black history month" or a "blacks only scholarship."

They're moreso proving a point. I think a scholarship based on race is ridiculous. Prove yourself through academics, not the color of your skin...I don't care what the statistics say.

Isn't it ironic that African Americans, while historically being surpressed, get black history month, but it falls on the shortest month of the year? :chuckles:
