A 100% such a person with terrible grammar could get multiple degrees.

Just tell your tutors what they want to hear and get great grades.

There are even whole branches of post modernisation and philosophy where none of the papers make logical sense at all but they add a few long words in to make it look like it's hard to understand because it's just too intelligent.

I mean business leaders come out moaning how terrible the basic literacy and numeracy standards of graduates are every couple of months.

did you actually watch the first few minutes of the video? or did you just read my post and take a shot at answering?

would somebody please watch at least the first four or five minutes of the video and then give to me an educated opinion as to whether or not this guy is a "multiple masters degree" caliber of person or not?

i am betting that he is just simply a fraud that has no degree at all..

he doesnt know how ghetto he really sounds, he doesnt get it.

if he had actually gone thru a masters degree program, he would have had to study english grammar and therefore he would know how to speak more properly.

help me out with this, please?

Okay, so I watched about 120 seconds of the video, enough to hear him speak. But it doesn't matter.

I have a masters degree in a technical science, and my department was actually pretty solid, mostly intelligent people doing their best to solve complex problems. That said, even in what I consider a very grounded department, I witnessed some of the most pathetic thinking I have ever seen in my life. In particular I am thinking of a formal scientific talk given by a graduate student (who went on to receive a PhD) to the faculty that was frankly embarrassing. He was rightly torn apart in the questions period. My advisor said to me after it was done, "Don't ever do that to me. Ever." As I say, that guy went on to become a PhD.

And this was at a relatively solid department. Beyond that, remember that diploma mills are a thing. They do exist. There are schools which exist to graduate students, and the more students they graduate, the more funding they get.

Combine that with the out of control push for "equity", which is to say a certain percentage of students must come from certain racial, ethnic, gender backgrounds, and I find it entirely believable that this guy has multiple masters degrees.

"Higher" education no longer means much. Education made a fork into indoctrination post world war II, and here we are 80 years later. Some good work is still coming out, but less and less. Meanwhile, the number of people like this guy being released into the world spouting about social "science" which is really just jargon-laden bullshit is frankly shocking.

But that doesn't mean he hasn't received degrees. It just means you shouldn't give people with "degrees" any more credence than anyone else. As you are doing, judge them based on content rather than the letters after their name. You are practicing the now heretical act of critical thinking. Soon you will be imprisoned for this. Congratulations.

i successfully completed the eighth grade and i can hold up more of an intelligent conversation that he can any day of the week.

obama, even tho i really do not like him and i think he is a bit plastic, obama is a wonderful speaker, that boy could talk me outta my panties monday thru sunday..

but the young man in this video, expecially when he is claiming to be a superstar debate team member, that is a good time to lose the ghetto bullshit and its really a good time to lose the very poor grammar that he slings around.

for lack of better words, he speaks like a typical uneducated ghetto nigger.

i do not believe that he was any kind of a superstar on any debate team at UNIVERSITY OF OKLAHOMA.

is university of oklahoma a major university?

that boy couldnt talk his way out of a wet paper bag.
