I know that there is opportunity for anyone willing to work hard -- mostly because my parents instilled a work ethic in me and inculcated me with values. I also had an immigrant mother who came here specifically so that she and her children could have greater opportunity. Blacks who are mired in poverty haven't bought into that concept that there is a much greater measure of equal opportunity here than there was 30 years ago; they inflate the prevalence of racism and proceed as if there's no way out. Instead of reinforcing that skewed outlook leaders (black and white) feed and encourage it and that needs to try to change. It's one of the reasons why I am a Republican. Quote:

Get real. You've managed to get yourself arrested multiple times. This last time around, one of your co-defendants was illegally carrying a firearm. Look in the mirror and at those you surround yourself with before you start criticizing other racial and ethnic groups.

Everybody is prejudiced to some extent. Anyone who says they aren't is lying for no good reason.
Thirteen Stars, you're the guy who's been putting those stickers and fliers up? I'll give you credit. At least you aren't afraid to speak your mind out of fear of what others think. That's one of the best qualities a person can have. And the one that says "North Philly: Coming to a neighborhood near you" was pretty clever. That being said, I agree that we need to stop pussyfooting around the fact that minorities make up the large portion of the crime rate. But who do we blame? Not all of it can be the individual's fault. Yeah, a good chunk of it is their own fault. But then you also have the parents who didn't give a **** about them, the friends who all did that bullshit, and other influences to help them choose the path they chose. Yes, there are a lot of people who can still avoid such choices. but this is 21st century America. Most people are idiots. It's not the fact that they're different that's the problem. It's their actions. Stereotypes come from somewhere, right? |

If I was a flamer and wore A|X, J-Lo shades and a bluetooth headset... I'd have my ass kicked eventually by the thugs on the El. Instead, I look like an IBEW worker. People don't talk to me on the train, and they make room when I step on. :-P
