[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]20:40 you state that 50% of the black people you work with save for their children's college. The other 50% do not and do not think it is the best investment for their children. Are you telling me that 100% of white folks in America save for their children to attend college and 100% believe college is a good investment?[/quote]

Whether you can save or not is obviously up to your income level -- but more than 50% of whites do think some kind of college is best for kids; I mean look at the rise of for profit universities and online colleges. I have not heard whites mock college and "book learning" the way I've heard blacks do so -- sorry -- just my experience. I'm sure I'll be told I'm wrong.[/quote]

You're a dolt. But think about this: 50 years ago, blacks couldn't even attend school with whites. Since the CRM, we've grown in leaps and bounds. Given that there was never an educational restriction for whites, why aren't 100% of them on board with education?

Something to think on: When you've been denied access to something, you sometimes shun it (out of pride, self-preservation, etc). That attitude can sometimes be passed down to children, grandchildren, etc.

If you've never heard rural and/or poor white folks show disdain for education, you haven't gotten out much. Or you're being willfully ignorant.
