Drake is God

Enacted by first President John F. Kennedy, then continued by President Lyndon Johnson, affirmative action has been identified as the main catalyst for the growing numbers of blacks at institutions of higher learning.
Initially intended to level the playing field for native black Americans — just as Obama’s initiative could — some argue that the policy has changed shape over the past several decades, with college administrators boosting racial and ethnic diversity using foreign-bred blacks. Instead of offsetting the socioeconomic inequalities faced by slaves’ descendants by providing educational restitution, it is alleged that schools prefer black students who do not come from this group.
In a 2006 study exploring the proliferation of Caribbean and African immigrants in U.S. colleges, University of Pennsylvania professor Camille Z. Charles and her fellow authors considered that social biases could play a large part in the admission process.
“To white observers,” they wrote, “black immigrants seem more polite, less hostile, more solicitous and ‘easier to get along with.’ Native blacks are perceived in precisely the opposite fashion.”
This is why pan-Africanism is a myth
