Still not seeing what any of that proves since images of a Duke University diploma could be downloaded off the internet rather simply. Furthermore, just on a personal level, wow dude, whether it's real or not I think your desperate need for approval from total strangers is really telling of your personal insecurity, perhaps relating to some obvious racial insecurity (since you immediately cried racism at a comment that was clearly and specifically not about race) or to your low-socioeconomic background.

Whilst I still don't believe (or care) about the diploma, it should be noted that it's ultimately irrelevant in the context of the discussion. It's clear from your speech, your anger and your desperate need to signal to total strangers that you can fit into white society that you "have the ghetto in you".

The point is that considering all of this, and considering that your friend is probably from the same economic strata that you were born into, and likely carries much of the same cultural attitudes and presents himself in much the same way, can't you see how somebody would be suspicious of you?

And can't you see how this suspicion is not directly due to your race? But rather the way you dress, hold yourself and act out when confronted with the slightest criticism?

Anyway, just want to go on record again stating the diploma doesn't sway my opinion even .001% that your claims are real, but the thing I think you won't be able to understand is that whether they are or they aren't, nobody really cares about them but you. It's just not what the discussion is about.
