Let me ask you, do you recall any of the previous black men that graduated top honors on the radio and being publicized such as this white boy? Do you recall any black person that graduated top honors ever getting as much exposure at a predominant white school?

Elite I think if a black person is the top at Harvard or Yale they are recognized... and these were black stations that had him on not white ones. I'm not saying he will change the world. But he did do a great job and the going far comment was based on his personality I heard this morning.

This is the problems Blacks want to be acknowledge for doing the RIGHT thing
There are always Valedictorians at Black college..thats they way it is supposed to be ...nothing special , Blacks think it is special to do the Right thing.
Look at Watidos profile he states " He pays his bills on time " as if it was a virtue. Thats what you are supposed to do.
I see everyday where Blacks say " I take care of my kids( as if it was something to hang your hat on) or I have never been in jail.....
You are supposed to be a parent and support your chidren and......not supposed to go to jail.
Who said this was a whiTe hero !
I took as if it was showing that this school was giving ALL people the same chnace to succeed and havinga white kid going there ..demostrated the standard.
216ELIE why do you have to tear down your own people ALL THE TIME
BLACKS WILL NEVER MOVE FORWARD IF THEY HAVE PEOPLE LIKE U ALWAYS TRYING TO KEEP THEM DOWN

You sound like a FOOL! You have the tunnel vision that white america has taught you! LOL!

Getting acknowledged for doing good in any educational field is a great achievement because it not only gives you credence for your hard work, but it helps put your name and identity out there as someone that succeeded, so any black grad that can accomplish top honors in a system that routinely generalizes and shatters the black educational image as amerikka does, deserves all the PRAISE and RECOGNITION they can receive!

Now I find it a slap in the face of our peoples fight against white americas segregation back when, and now our HBCUS have been attacked and railroaded for generalized performance issues, and yet before this white boy stepped foot on this campus, our black men at morehouse have never recieved any of this type of notariety beforehand unless it was from our own people, so now that the white boy graduates top honors.....ALL OF A SUDDEN ITS PUT UP ON HIGH STATUS, AND THE WHITE BOY TREATED AS SOME SUPREME BEING, hahahaha...GTFOH!!*shakes head*.....

This has sh*t to do with him "breakin a barrier"...this has to do with white america preachin its supremacy again and again, and whenever blacks do great amongst a white populace, there's barely any mention or praise unless a white person is included, now here we have this white boy succeeding top of class, and then all the red carpet and godlike matrimony.....you can fool the uncle toms with your message but not me!

This white boy is getting airtime, from radio, t.v, internet, and neverbefore was the black top grads given any of this attention! YOU'RE SPINELESS COWARDS THAT BRAINWASH THE MASSES WITH WHITE SUPREMACY BS! GTFOH!!!

He was on the radio this morning and he has a great personality. Seemed like a nice guy. I think he will go very far.

I just want him to get filthy rich and make mad loot that he turns over to the Morehouse Endowment in 2034 or so...

A $540 million grant would be very nice, thank you! LOL

Quit hatin' my brotha! Black talent has long made white folks filthy rich or even richer than ever.(NBA franchise owners, music executives, etc.)

Might as well have white talent put black institutions in a positive light.

HA! Now you know you're heading into dangerous territory with that comment, and you know what i'm going to say, lol!!! Obama and getting recognized....OH MAN don't let me get into conversation on this!! I'll have the whole forum in on this!

I'm going to throw the bait though.......

Barack Obama is mixed with white, and thats the only reason whites have MIXED feelings on him, lol, and as soon as REV WRIGHT brought his foolery to the table and they saw that so-called black in him they've started to sway, man look at the way the shift has gone, Obama may win the primary, but his whiteness with whites is in question, LOL! The general election will be a different story for this brotha! THERE I THREW THE BAIT, you can bite as much as you want! HA!

Come on, why are you hating on him. Also, I think the guy is a "Wigga" type to actually go to a black college...I mean I doubt any normal white dude would attend a school where 95% of the people are black.

Besides like Harrison said this could be good publicity for Morehouse. Diversity equals more enrollment, more enrollment equals more money, more money equals better cirriculum.

Congratulations to Mr. Packwood-that is an amazing accomplishment!

Ok I see your point but why didn't the black stations have her on? That is where I heard about this young man... And I never said Savior or Hope... and I didn't hear that from the media only here on topix:)

Are you afraid to address the issue? You use big words, but, you don't seem to be able to think beyond your skin and education. Sarcasm is the lowest form of humor...you should abandon humor and use that brain of yours to communicate.

You have an audience of people willing to read your rantings...do you just want to rant? Are you just a shadow of what is wrong with many of your race?

There are very few people that are good enough to see past color. Everybody else is so stuck in their black and white tunnel vision crying about everything. It's sickening. There are people on this forum that are only good for whining because this individual is white whereas if a black student gives a speech at a predominately white school, it would be the same thing. And there will still be people whining about it and not seeing this for what it is. Simply an accomplishment for doing so well and breaking down racial barriers. It is better to ingore some of the ignorance and hatred displayed on these forums and focus on the good things
