Us Morehouse Men/(Men of) are some pretty smug bastids

Earlier in the office today, I was havin'g a discussion with this one cat in my office. HIs name is Kyle, he's a member of the only organization that matters, and he attends a PWI. During the discussion we were talking about how Morehouse creates an "elitist Caste" amongst the Men who graduate from there. Basically his whoe point was that he has yet to meet a MOrehouse student or graduate who didn't have that "aire" about him or believe that he was better because he came from Morehouse. So naturally I went into my whole, "That's the schools only focus. We're designed to focus on training young black men, we don't have to worry about being fair to whites or females. It is specifically designed for black men becoming leaders." Kyle's response was, "The thing we learn at (his PWI) is that no matter what degree or job you have, white folx are still gonna consider you just another ****." To which I replied, "The thing is, my school teaches the students not to give a f@ck about what YT is gonna think. Because regardless of what you do, you always gotta do 110% just to get 50% of the recognition. That "aire" is the confidence needed to not give a f@ck about what everybody else around thinks, the only thing that will matter is the fact that YOU KNOW just how damn good you are." The discussion ended in a standstill but it really made me think about how other folx see Morehouse students. Hell, maybe we do come off arrogant or "smug" but honestly, it's a means that justifies and end. Ask any graduate, they know in their heart of hearts just how damn good they are at what they do. Whether its Marketting or making beats, in their mind they know that they are, "Dat ****"
