They raised their own money but that includes taking money from some of the graduate schools. If they had raised the money from outside, I would be fine with it no matter how stupid I find it but the fact they are taking money from within the university I think is ridiculous to allow this group to have it's own ceremony. I think the Latin graduation is just as ridiculous

This will look good on their resume.

He'd probably want to slap them upside their heads for pretending to be oppressed while attending Harvard while a black president was in office.

The only guy in my high school graduating class that went to any Ivy League school was a black guy. He graduated like 10th out of 500. No doubt he is a smart guy, but no smarter than the others, and they didn't get to go to any Ivy League schools.
Plus, I was put on a waiting list to a University (hard to believe of me to you fellow OTers, I'm sure) and then I was shown a month later how that school was actively seeking black students to fill the upcoming freshmen class.

To be fair, 90% of them wouldn't have gotten in without their particular racial background so maybe this separate graduation makes more sense than we are giving it credit for.
