[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=liamw][quote=Anonymous][quote=liamw]So what your saying is that people who work harder and apply them self should have the same as those who don't [/quote]

Not that poster, but I would say that people who have not had the same advantages and luck that you and I have had also deserve a basic standard of living.  It is in your and my best interest to have a populace that is NOT starving, NOT homeless, and NOT uneducated.  Happy to pay my taxes so that our streets don't become something out of a Dickens novel.  [/quote]

I grew up at the dead end of a dirt road, with the closest walmart over 30 minutes away, with an avj income of my town of 12k I made it through hard work they can to. People CHOOSE not to go to school, people CHOOSE to make the urban culture more important that success, people CHOOSE to live a gang life, people make choices and choices have consequences. [/quote]

Being a minority is not a choice.  And being a minority means that you do have fewer opportunities than white people.  You know it's true.  White privilege is real.  - Very white lady[/quote]

Sorry, I don’t agree.  It is much, much easier for a minority candidate to get a scholarship, a grant, and sometimes even a job.  [b]If you have children college-age, you would know this. [/b] Finding scholarships or grants or tuition assistance for white middle-class students is pretty tough.  Because of affirmative action, a minority is just as likely, if not more so, to get a job over a white person - all things being equal.  [/quote]

I have children in college and I know nothing of the sort. Your assertion that things are easier for minorities is patently--and provably--false.
