[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it requires a paradigm shift in the black community, as many prominent blacks have noted. The legacy of slavery was poverty and then a dependency on government handouts, which bred a sense of entitlement. But, that's not going to get people anywhere in this life.[/quote] Right, and white people don't have a sense of entitlement? [/quote] That's speaking in broad generalities. Sure, there is "white trash" out there on welfare, nobody denies that. But let's quit deflecting back to broad generalities, and throwing around apples and oranges comparisons and talk specifics instead - how much do white trash on welfare contribute to poor performance in DC schools? Not much, I'd wager. And do white trash refer to academics and doing the work or not doing the work in terms of "acting white" or "acting black"? No.[/quote]
