[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up in the ghetto, single parent and made it out and am doing well

I am white.  no difference between me and the black kids but I am not looking for articles to be written and a pat on my back.  [/quote]

OMG!!!  You folks are too much! All that is fine and good, but do you know WHY this article was even posted? [b] It was to rebut the CONSTANT assertions by some White people on here that AA's are not doing anything to improve their communites or to help themselves. [/b] So a person posts an article to rebut that assertion and you accuse them of wanting to be patted on the back.  Y'all are friggin crazy!  I mean full on batcrap looney! [/quote]

It was posted as if it shows more than it does. No one says that NOTHING IS BEING DONE but rather that not enough is being done and at times the standards aren't what they should be. Every program like this, and there are many, one of which I have contributed too, is great[b] but it is a very, very small number that needs to be more[/b]. [b]Consider that you might be just taking out the top students leaving the other 95% behind. And while you are doing well for that 5%, and that number isn't intended to be righteous, might be 10% or 2%, you are hurting the ones left behind because you are removing some of the best and brightest among their peers.[/b]

BTW, you are assuming some comments are by white people when in fact that might not be the case. And, you are setting up a racial divide by color with your assumptions. Fact is there are PLENTY of people who are concerned with these kind of issues on all sides of the 'color' spectrum.[/quote]

You folks...just stop.  This whole statement is self-serving and so condescending.  We do not need this kind of help. From anyone. Of any color.
