You seem to think the institutions are racist because they wanted some "very sharp" kid to get a GED ?
Not at all. I don't think the institutions are racist at all. I think they saw talent.
And because of (and in some cases, despite) the efforts of people who have fought these fights for many decades, there are now such opportunities. There was a time, not that long ago, in my lifetime in fact, when this young man would have not gotten the opportunity because of the color of his skin and his station in life.
Now his job is to make sure he gets as much out of them as they get out of him. That is the hard fight.
