Am I shocked that #Princeton's 1st Black valedictorian isn't from the lineage of Black ppl who were historically locked out of an Ivy League which their ancestors' bodies built and funded? No.
But somehow the rise of a Canadian Bahamian doctor's son is supposed to mean racial 'progress' in America for the group of Black ppl who's suffered tremendously through slavery, #JimCrow, #redlining, predatory lending, medical experimentation, and convict leasing. #wtf
