Okay...I apologize if my comments were interpreted as racially offensive. They were not intended as such at all. Are you happy now?

Don't apologize to me, apologize to Capital Q for saying that you could buy and sell her kids on the black market. You obviously knew she was black and now that everyone is calling you out on your racism you're starting to backpedal. Every post you make is more offensive than the last.

Please don't start with the random "BLANK- industrial-complexes"- you sound like an arrogant, naive 1st year grad student.

This reminds me of the guy who used the word "[racist language redacted]" and then got called out as being racist when in fact that word has absolutely no relation to the "n" word.

Lol...what?! How am I backpedaling? I've defended my comments so far, only apologizing if someone was inadvertently racially offended. Where are you getting black market from? Where are you getting that I knew she/he was black? Stop trolling.

Assuming that he doesn't have the grades/LSAT for a top school, I think he will get into one anyway, because it's more than worth it for a school to lower it's numbers with one student who will bring tons of press and likely increase the number of applicants. I remember reading that applications to NYU increased by like 15% the year Mary Kate and Ashley decided to go there. Besides, do you know a single celebrity who didn't wind up at a prestigious school?

Off the top of my head -
Natalie Portman - Harvard
James Franco - Columbia and NYU
Emma Watson - Brown
Brooke Shields - Princeton
Claire Danes - Yale

After I tell my boys that you called me a 1st year grad student, and after I celebrate what you consider an "automatic urm boost," we are coming after you. no one calls me a 1st year grad student and gets away with it.
