Originally posted by pr1983I personally dont need it but a great amount of blacks do. I'm not saying its perfect but its a means to an end.Rarely do any white get affected by it anyway;that's just some bs KidRock came up to make it sound like we can go to college for nothing.Now when a day comes where we are pretty close to whites then we can ditch this,but until that day we still dont have equal chances.I do respect your point however
But its not up to society to take care of you... its up to you to pass your exams and get good grades...Maybe if your parents or u in particular were being discriminated against sure, that'd be bad, but generally, if you're good enough i dont see why you cant go to and succeed in college...
Originally posted by pr1983You couldve gotten a scholarship i'm getting one for my acting aspirations and my economic level so its not like lower class people arent being helped by the government.
You think i could afford to go to a decent college? There are white people too who cant afford shit, myself included...Its a wealth problem, not a race problem when it comes to colleges imo... 😬
Originally posted by pr1983Well you're right on that count.I mean i think too many people have blamed race relations on what happened in Katrina when it seemed like if those folk were white they wouldnt have faired much better.But still there is enough black white disparity that affirmative action for colleges is somewhat necessary.But once again,agree to disagree.
Thx... 😮our education system is rather flawed all round though... 😬
i do think though wealth can be a bigger factor than race in some cases...
I think blacks, should stay on one side, and whites stay on another. This way, the black race will stop complain, on how bad it is, and they have their own place. I bet, the white race will be more advance, on their side, and the black part will still whine, because they don't do anything for themselves. The crime rate will drop, dramatically, and that rap music crap will stop, poising white children's mind. No more Fubu,jordans, or whatever. baggy ripped jeans, and cursing every 5 seconds. the drugs will go down, and the fact that they, won't shove it in white culture, and contaminated them, any more. finally we could not be held back, by the black man, and his special treatment. i also hate, how every black person, think white people are racist, because of any little thing we say. Blacks are mostly racist against other blacks. Notice they say, when a rare occasion, that a black person is successful, they are acting white, by other blacks...it's because they know. When they speak proper English, and not saying, yo yo yo, they are acting white, by other blacks. Wehn they are not smoking weed,cursing, and robbing people, with that crap on their heads, it's acting white, by other blacks.
