[quote=Anonymous]Using Obama as an example is ridiculous. The man grew up in an educated middle class white family and went to private school. While he had to face some of the prejudice that other young black men face (despite the fact that he's half white, he looks black and people respond to him as black), he had enormous advantages by comparison, in particular growing up in a family where people expected to be well-served by educational institutions. Give me an example of someone who grew up in public housing with black parents who had drug habits who didn't finish high school. There are folks like that out there. Tell me how they achieved their success. That would be a good example. But using Obama to prove your point is rather odd and suggests a lack of knowledge about this community in general. [/quote]
