    Morehouse College's Class Of 2019 Gets A Big Commencement Surprise

    All right. Robert Smith is a billionaire investor and philanthropist. He gave a commencement speech this weekend at Morehouse College, and he gave something else, too. Smith had already pledged a gift of $1.5 million to the historically black, all men's college in Atlanta. And then he said this.

    (SOUNDBITE OF ARCHIVED RECORDING)

    ROBERT SMITH: We're going to put a little fuel in your bus. Now I've got the alumni over there, and this is a challenge to you, alumni. This is my class - 2019.

    SMITH: And my family is making a grant to eliminate their student loans.

    SMITH: Now, I know my class will make sure they pay this forward. And I want my class to look at these alumnus, these beautiful Morehouse brothers, and let's make sure every class has the same opportunity going forward.

    KING: Morehouse College President David Thomas told CNN the gift gives the students the, quote, "liberty to follow their dreams, their passions."

    Free speech is cool as long as it jibes with our program.

    Giving money to morons to cover their self-inflicted problem is not great. It just encourages more stupidity. Furthermore i doubt this clown actually does it.

    Didn't you just say, you don't whimper about name calling? I kind of think you encourage the hazing, and make yourself look bad on purpose. It's what a role playing troll often does. They play devils advocate, and basically try to make a side of something look as bad as possible. You basically are playing out every negative thing republicans have been accused of. You're a Republican Judas.

    Franklin was an old man even by today's standards. He knew that. Has the timing been different, Franklin would have been the first President.

    His money, his choice.

    Much like other advantages that group will receive or have received, most will waste the opportunity they've been given.
