Robert F. Smith surprises Morehouse grads with promise to pay off student loans - CNN

Morehouse College seniors got a surprise Sunday when billionaire investor Robert F. Smith announced during his commencement speech that he would pay off the student loan debt for the historically black college's graduating class.

"On behalf of the eight generations of my family who have been in this country, we're going to put a little fuel in your bus," he told the newly minted graduates in Atlanta before saying his family was creating a grant to eliminate their student loans.

Black excellence (and a fellow Cornell alum)

This is 100% of the reason why I say black entertainers are garbage.

they could have BEEN doing stuff like this.

This is why our black leaders need to get it out the mud and go into real business.

Oprah can take her car giveaway and shove it

Are you just fishing for daps or do you really believe Oprah doesn't do shyt for black people outside of giving away cars?


And why are you speaking so definitively on what black people should or shouldn't be doing?

Coli always gotta find a way to hate on black celeb. No matter the story

It would be folly to accept publicized acts of charity at face value. Whenever a rich/famous person pulls a stunt like this the analytical mind can't help but wonder if theres a hidden agenda at play here. Some folks even harbor the same degree of dubiety whenever Bill Gates launches a campaign to give out vaccines to African people. We live in a cruel and harsh world and altruism is rarer than a non-racist white person.

Why is he doing this? Is he a genuinely good person that actually cares? Perhaps. Or perhaps this is the preliminary phase of his foray into a political career? Or maybe he wants to gain a seat at the board? Have a statue erected in his name? Every human being on this planet is motivated by self-interest.

To be honest, this will be a tax write off for him as its a charity donation. But at least this is a donation that'll impact the lives of young, hopeful black men.

I swear, white politicians raining on the parade of a black man paying off the loans of other black graduates gives me serious vibes
