But you can say the same for most institutions from education to clothing. There's a history of oppression against blacks in everything. In this competitive ass world an education from oxford is like getting a ferrari while most mofos are still trying to figure out how to peddle that bike uphill.
Not a single black person should work for Wall St. a lot of those old institutions were instrumental in the slave trade and made a lion's share of their wealth from it but I don't see anyone telling black MBAs to give up those six figure salaries and seven figure bonuses.

Nearly every bank, university and international shipping company on the Eastern seaboard has its origins in the slave trade or the substantial profit thereof.

You're right. It's immeasurable. Just those little things like reading to a child and unknowingly modeling certain behaviors.

It certainly has a lot of power in so many forms. You're right, it's not always that complex either. Attain a higher education and you'd be surprised how many opportunities open up for you when you come from a disadvantaged situation. My dad, your parents and many others are living proof.

Stop reaching.

The fact so many Black people don't see anything wrong with a Rhodes scholarship only shows how sick and insignificant we are and will remain.

I can't wait for the Darren Wilson and George Zimmerman scholarships.

How am I reaching? You're argument is take nothing from any institution whose founder/namesake had anything to do with injustice against blacks. That's damn near all institutions on earth. Now what?

Yup. Education is still by far the great equalizer and the best chance to advance in this world.

How is he any worst than the people you buy clothes and electronic goods from. You personally participate in the suffering of others every time you buy a shirt from a discount store like Walmart or get a new cell phone.

You've yet to give any alternative. In a competitive global economy where where you go to school is just as important as the experience you get, where should these kids go to school instead that will give them the same competitive edge and has a clean history both in name and institution. Take your time I'll wait.

That's debatable, especially when you factor in which career field you want to go into.

Just off the top of my head, I'm sure engineers and tech majors from MIT would get more looks than ones from Oxford or Harvard, because MIT produces and houses some pretty wicked specimens when it comes to engineering and tech.

On the other hand, law students from Harvard or business students from Wharton would trump grads from other schools in those areas

I'm not even sure what Oxford is known for other than being very selective.

I just think its silly for blacks to eliminate themselves from that kind of privilege just because the namesake was a dick. That would remove us from most financial prosperity.

You're right I read up on him but he's long dead. Most of our "founders" were rapist, slave traders, and killed innocent people but it doesn't stop people from going to UVA, UPenn, or GW does it?
