[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My grandmother was a single mom of 6 kids in rural India. Farming was the only source of income and it was modest income , hard labor, not many resources, no school in the village, no college within 10 miles. All 6 of her kids graduated from college (3 also finished masters). She instilled in them that they must study if they have to break this cycle, this was drilled into them everyday ( back in the 70s). Trust me when I say this, If she and her kids could do this, all AAs in this country can do this , you guys don't know what's it like to not have resources. It's time for personal responsibility people, lift your families, lift your communities on your own shoulders. Barack Obama became president because of the whites in this country, this country is ready for you, it's time to stop blaming the whites.[/quote]

Thank you! This is such an important post. My mother-in-law grew up poor in Mexico, immigrated to the US and got all her four kids through college. She worked hard to get her family where they are today. Americans are just lazy and entitled and desperately need to open their minds to a less American-centric worldview. Just look who comes to this country ready to work, ready to make their families better, who's lined up outside of Home Depot with their tool belts on? Where are those who complain about not being able to find a job in this city??[/quote][/quote]
