[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I hear ya!! Try telling that to a college admissions board.

It was very frustrating when the black kids (with same privileges and upbringing) were able to get into colleges with only a 3.0 grade pt average and average SATs while those of us with 4.0+ did not.

But guess what?  Those same black kids and their families didn't have the same opportunities you, your mother, your father, your grandparents and great grandparents did.  Keep in mind, slavery is not so far removed from this world we live in... it wasn't THAT long ago.  And to prove its long lasting effects, take a look at the AA culture as a whole.  Its not pretty, and let me tell you, the roots of it all are in slavery.  If you think the playing field is level or even if you think it should be by now, you are not only sadly mistaken, but you are ignorant.  But that's pretty obvious by your post.

-Signed, one of those black students who got into a great college with a 3.0 and average SAT's and is now VERY successful because of it. Sorry if I bumped you. Actually, no I'm not.[/quote]
As a black person, I am curious what you mean by saying AA culture as a whole is not pretty.
Last time I looked all black folk in America did not share 1 culture. While the legacy of slavery, segregation , and institutionalized racism is still alive and well, they are factors AFFECTING black folk, not what makes up a homogeneous culture.
Black folk in America have a long and VARIED history and culture that spans everything from academia to the arts.
Don't get it twisted thinking some rap videos, Maury Povich, or the IRL poverty and violence in SOME predominantly black areas is representative of all black folk.[/quote]
