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.

Just curious, but did you do this while also having...black skin?

Do you think your life would have been different at all...if you had?

Do you think any of us who were born white, really have a clue...what it's like to be black?

Other than reading about/talking to, those that are black...that is.
