American was built up by immigrants from all over the world wanting to do better for themselves and their families. And they worked hard at it. In much, much more difficult times and without the social support systems that are around today.

Respect is earned and it does not come from refusing to take any type of responsibility for your own decisions.

I think you need to hop off your silver spoon.

And you need to hop over to 2020, none of these things are stopping anyone from being successful today. The biggest barrier to success are terrible parents telling their children that someone or something is stopping them from being somebody.


So true. And frankly, I think we need to stop tell undeveloped high schoolers that they won’t succeed at xyz major, etc.

maybe if you didn't focus so much on the victim card you would have caught up by now. Plenty of African Americans have time to get with the program.

I feel bad for white people who are being held accountable today for the actions of their ancestors. I can see why there is a lot of pushback.

As a member of the dominant caste, it gives me a new perspective on the societal programs and laws we have in place that keep our caste system going, despite a genuine desire by many to combat racism.

People on all sides of the issues raised around Nice White Parents would really benefit from reading this book.


No one is keeping anyone down. Hard work and determination have always been the keys to success in America.

Millions of immigrants come here with nothing and make it. It's the story of America.

The victimzation/woke/SJW bs needs to stop.


That is quite naive of you. Try opening your eyes.

Yep. It's futile. It's never enough. And truth be told, the needle never actually moves, the "gains" are always just spin, sandbagging and data manipulation.


Correct because it's ultimately parenting that matters.

Yes, no one should care about their kids and do what's best for them. We all need to conform to mediocrity moron


Nobody is saying that. Guess you are name-calling without having read the book. Who's the less-intelligent one?


that's the whole point, just with more euphemisms

dream hoarding = doing what is best for your child aka what every parent worth their salt is doing everyday. No one in their right mind is going to stop doing that. Try living in the real world.
