I wonder how those people with degrees, from the lowest to the highest who were living the 'American Dream' are feeling right now that they're unemployed, lost their home and healthcare, unable to find a job, went through their savings (if they actually had a savings) and their bank account is beyond broke......I wonder how they feel now. I know some of them don't feel anything because they couldn't take the weight so they killed themselves..sometimes their families went went them.

If a college education really was the solution...

And can you reform the devil? No.(34:40)

a college education isn't a soluation, i would say it's only good for keeping you out of trouble and stagnation while you're at a crucial time in your life and giving you a sense of mission, but you can't get a job with a bachelors anymore and if you get your masters you're still black.

i would give you an answer or solution, but i don't have one.

Woah! Hold on, you weak ass Nigerian. Before you go calling me names, you MIGHT want to re-read your posts regarding blacks. Trust me when I say you have some self hate.

TSA, you've NEVER IN YOUR LIFE LIVED IN A SHITTY GHETTO. So, where did all of that crap come from?

look at this fuckin sheep talkin out the side of his neck. Need I remind yall this is a white guy who makes a thread once a week expressing his frustration at not being able to openly drop N-bombs? You think Obama would've got elected w/out winning the white vote in America? Only a racist, uninformed dipshit would think that Obama compared to Powell makes sense. Politically they're at opposite ends of the spectrum.

Got'em.

i think there is a polarization between two viewpoints in this thread. i would like to reconcile them.

first, there are a number of factors that contribute to the poverty and struggle that black people endure:
1. black people are born into poverty, and thus their social mobility is limited
2. predominantly black schools are generally poorly funded, poorly taught, and poorly administrated
3. black people living in ghettos grow up amidst drug dealers, criminals, etc. and are thus more likely to be socialized into the same occupations (a self-perpetuating cycle)
the list could go on and on. if you want to deny that institutional racism exists, then I think you have a difficult position to defend. BUT, there is a difference between recognizing institutional inequities and offering personal guidance. yes, there are clearly structural, economic, and cultural inequalities that detriment the prosperity of blacks. and yes, given that fact, it is difficult to pass judgment on the black community for its flaws (drug dealing, standing on the corner eating chips, whatever). but as an INDIVIDUAL contemplating these issues, blaming your problems on the institutions or the "man" will not get you anywhere. most of black peoples problems aren't necessarily their fault, but the problem is it doesn't fucking matter whose fault it is because the only way that the black community can better themselves is if they stop caring about whose fault it is and stop contributing to the problem under the justification of "well its not my fault im doing this, i was forced into this situation". its not that I blame the people who say that to themselves, or think they are immoral or something, I'm just stating the facts: if you want those inequalities to change, you have to work with the system until you better yourself into a position where you have the authority to change it. drug dealing obviously doesn't assist you in that.

I did not say it to insult, I said it to point out that you're making your generalizations based upon observations made in a state that has almost no diversity and somehow figuring what holds true there hold true everywhere. Things just aren't that simple.
