A grandmother once said, “you don’t sow thorns then expect wheat will grow later on…” For the record, Black women get 64.1% of all bachelor’s degrees, 71.5% of master’s degrees, and 65.9% of doctoral, medical, and dental degrees awarded to Black students, i.e., they far outpace Black men within their group.

    That’s not what he said, exact quote from Snopes:

    ‘If we would have said three weeks ago […] that Joy Reid and Michelle Obama and Sheila Jackson Lee and Ketanji Brown Jackson were affirmative-action picks, we would have been called racist. But now they’re coming out and they’re saying it for us! They’re coming out and they’re saying, “I’m only here because of affirmative action.” Yeah, we know. You do not have the brain processing power to otherwise be taken really seriously. You had to go steal a white person’s slot to go be taken somewhat seriously.’

    Actually it’s worse lol.

    I can’t even tell if this is a shrunken face/big head edit or a real photo of Kirk.
