[@vitalchance1032]

3:21 ... "who's laughing now baby" "ha, ya, ya that would be me", "uh, that would be them" .... huh? I don't quite understand that reaction and why she would say, "um, that would be them" What that tells me, is that he did not like being called Harvard and that the host doesn't understand him not wanting to be "made fun of". Lol that was kind of a funny back and forth mis-undestanding of each other.

[@oumardiaw8076]

Vital Chance I said the same that wasn’t a good joke and she shouldn’t say that

[@natckwan]

yeah, i didn't understand that either lol was confused

[@abdeladam1234]

Good luck brother

[@reneeg8857]

Yales not the best right now lately. Hopefully Harvard is better for him.

[@nkugwa19]

i love being inspired and this is it happy for you Mr.

[@FleurPillager]

What happened at the contaminated water summit last week, CNN? I know that bad government blocked your reporter from attending but still, you could probably find out some information if you try. Or why not randomly pick 100 communities in the United States and test the water yourself? Corporate sponsors shouldn't block telling the public about ingesting contaminants. Surely at least one journalist has a conscience and cares about public health. Anyone?

[@cameronsmith1439]

Fleur Bandito You and me both know they don’t care😂

Cameron Smith--I know but it still ticks me off.

[@jamesb.7151]

Young, talented, handsome, articulate, African American, male, brains, good smile, white teeth, and hopeful with excellent outlook on life! Wow, he shouldn't have any problems finding a date once he leaves Harvard (or while there!)

[@lauralewis6114]

Congratulations, You are GOD BLESSED.

[@dobsr1184]

Here is the issue to all you . This young man did not accept his a color as a reason to fail. He had challenges and he chose to proceed with determination. He is the poster child of white the majority of white Americans know what you can do and some black Americans what you can do. So the comments are sarcasm not racism for the most part. This guy can have easily fell for the trap of white privileged or the trap of you are a victim. He proves that it’s a bull crap .. So follow his example and invest in your self and not into hate victim mentality or Democrats push that says you are black and you should be on welfare . I’m a conservative and I say black Americans are way better then welfare !!!! You are so don’t let Democrats think it’s your place. You don’t need training wheels in life ..

[@muuuuuud]

Congratulations and best wishes for your future young man. :)

is it me, or does her whole personality change when she starts talking to him.

I thought this was an interview with the Dad from Step Brothers.

[@iClone316]

I wish he wouldn't have stumbled at the end, "go out......go throughout daily life." Because I know that haters will probably damn him for that.

[@jalenad11]

Are people really trying to down this guy by attributing his EARNED success to his skin color? He overcame FAR GREATER obstacles than any of the legacies that get into Ivy league based on family ties. He even made programs to help pave the way for people behind him. You all are what's wrong with America!

[@shimmer4771]

Cause he is smart, but racist, jealous people insist on making him seem like a joke or that he got in because of Affirmative Action. What's even more laughable is that it mostly benefits white women, not minorities. It just shows how messed up people are... worrying about the wrong thing! 😂

I didn't like the fact that the goal was increase from $25,000 to $40,000 and it might be raised again. For that reason and only that reason I'm giving this a thumbs down otherwise it would be a thumbs up.
