All this is bolstered by a culture of lies, denial and wilful ignorance on these issues which serves to perpetuate the problem; so when I mention rumsfeld lieing about 911, it is just another example of all the lies and disceptions, yet people behave as if it could not be true or even likely. The history of this country alone speaks volumes to this. And my operative concern here is that all people, being fooled by this none issue called race or religion are being played off each other as oppose to having time to sit down with our neighbors and say, "Hey, can you believe they are trying to put up another walmart, hey black neighbor fred, your bookstore is going to close down..." "Hey white neighbor Ed, your sports shop is going to have to close down.." Together now: "Lets get up off arses and together do something about it because united we stand and they, can't, win." Do, you, not, understand!!! I guess not

The main problem is a lack of opportunity for any but the most-gifted.
People see one smart kid come out of a ghetto neighborhood and immediately assume that there's absolutely nothing wrong with our system and anyone can become successful in their lifetime with enough desire. Wrong! The fact is, a good 70-80% of people growing up simply aren't born with the tools. They are not smart enough. They don't have the social skills. They don't have quite enough drive. Some of these things can be taught, some are born with. But the fact of the matter is, if you are white, it is much more likely that you have parents who can teach you these things because they know them themselves. Or, if they can't teach you these things because you were physically born without the skills, they probably have the money to help you along anyway, at least getting you your first job or a bit of training. This is the real important part. If you are extremely-gifted, it hardly matters what environment you mature in, but if you are just average or less, it does. This is why ghetto-whites rarely get out either. But, as a whole, whites simply have a much stronger social foundation to build on than blacks do. So the statistics favor them. There are two solutions: 1) Time: In 20-30 generations the social foundations will level out. Remember, blacks have only been equal in our society for a few generations, and it takes much longer than that to make up for the advantages whites have. 2) Massive investment in our children: If we put the money into education and parenting that it deserves (probably 10 times what we spend today), we would see results, not just with the gifted, but with everyone.

I shall take the advice of one of our distinguished members.
Never argue with an idiot. They bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

Remember kiddies; smileys mean smile....the message isn't an attack on you.
Also quotes from distinguished members are just that and no more. Good advice rather than critic comment.

May I remind you all that just because you hand someone $20, that does not give you the right to slap them upside the face.
Similarly, being insulting and then throwing in a smily face is not okay. Thank you. |
