If that ain't the pot calling the kettle black. I can tell you're a low achiever in life and don't understand how someone can gain access to these privileged spaces despite not having the same resources as your peers.
1.) As previously stated, private schools offer scholarships for underprivileged students. If he was smart enough to gain access to an elite private school, that's an excellent resource to gain the necessary referrals. And to top it off, Jack n Jill get to pat themselves on the back for not being 'elitist' towards their own people.
2.) Also as previously stated, his grandfather WAS an educated man. While he may not have been wealthy, his social network may be strong enough where has those kinds of connections.
You're the one adding all these qualifiers to diminish another Black man's success.
Shining definition of c00nery.
