I thank god, every day, for the education my parents "made" me get. Until we solve the education parity problem nothing changes. There are three basic needs: food, clothing and shelter. If you can't earn it then you get it any way you can. You steal it, or expect "someone" to provide it for you. Bottom line here is: the "haves" do not want to associate with the "have nots". Nothing to do with the color of their skin.

I came from poorly educated parents. My father died young, my mother a widow taking care of three young kids ages 6mo to 11 years old. We grew up poor before the culture of handouts and we worked hard to help her out as soon as we were old enough. I put myself through college at night while I worked full time during the day. No advantages given to us.
I’m really tired of hearing about the disadvantaged minorities who grew up with uneducated parents and no opportunities.
This is bunk! Stay in school, stay away from drugs, stay away from crime, work hard, apply all the anger that’s displayed During protests towards self improvement rather than blaming whites for your situation. There are so many programs available to minorities, scholarships, federal grant money. Pull yourself up and make positive change in your own lives.
