But if a black guy who went to Harvard says it, he's an elitist insulting everyone. "Keep in your place, boy."

Oh come on, that is absolutely ridiculous. It wouldn't have mattered if the person that said those comments was whiter than white can be, they had an elitist slant to them. The man that said them may not be elitist...but the comments were. If they were perfectly "normal" and "true" and "dead on" then nobody should have a problem with it. Am I not correct?
........and enough with the freaking "you just don't like what he said because he's educated and black". It's time for that idiotic trend to cease.
