You have white friends that scored below acceptance standards yet got into top 10 schools?
Yep, because hey, a LSAT score isn't everything.
He got a 155 and got into a top 8 school in the 2017 rankings. Smartest guy I know. Works for a top 10-15 firm and probably made $250k out the gate.
Yep
I am a lawyer that works for a borderline top tier law school. A white male with a 155 getting into a top 8 law school (whose library isn't named after his father) would be beyond shocking.

just so we're clear the OPs premised is that college educated blacks can't work the system

It's not true. I went to an interview at Harvard and they told me that I could get in so long as I wasn't black. UVA, Yale, and Northwestern told me the same thing.

Not work the system, but rather can't not be taken advantage of by the system.

Is that why you went to Stanford?

Getting into professional schools like law and medicine is not art — it’s math. Here’s a formula: G.P.A. x Test Score / Demographics = Admission Decision.
And affirmative action makes it so a black person equals 3/5ths of a white person. We've come full circle

I disagree. Success usually follows success.

No i said some arent aware of the other facets of the game. Most blacks are either the first or the 2nd in their families to graduate from college and do not have the family connections other kids may have.
This literally has noting to do with aptitude.

Im sorry but this really seems like fake outrage

So most blacks have incompetent parents. Gotcha.

Common sense just isn't gonna "click" for some people.
Wait, so you're telling me that students that had the ability to pass undergrad don't have the common sense enough to see that they COULD BE getting the business?

they've been brought up to both game the system and beware of the system a lot of times. I guarantee you that this is part of them gaming the system. System tells them "no, you're not good enough to get in here" so they cry racist. All apart of their game because it's the kiss of death now for anything to be labeled (falsely 99 out of 100 times) as racist. What if I told you that a good way to get rid of racism and make everything completely fair would be to do away with Affirmative Action, ACLU, CAIR, NAACP, etc.?

Is the LSAT a barometer of whether you'll be successful/sufficient lawyer or not? Not a lawyer
