I have a friend who has a PhD in Aeronatutical Engineering

People act shocked because he's intelligent and black like it's impossible. he says he almost hates telling people where he went to school and what he studied. He went to MIT.

Do some people expect blacks to be uneducated and act a certain way?
Draak you have so many questions there you should just open a new question and ask it to everyone
Grizzly there really are black intellectuals my friend is one of them. Sorry you havent been able to achieve what he has in your own life. I am not trying to prove anything but a fact that already exists
 
Unfortunately, there are plenty of people who expect black people to all be uneducated, for reasons such as never having met an educated black person before, the media, or just wanting to feel superior.
