Well, I'm glad some people are willing to approach society and other people with an open mind. The excuses do get old when so many people ARE able to succeed. Schooling--and a CULTURE that emphasises learning--really is key.
I get worried when I see some people deny all past problems and deny all past bad actions. We can acknowledge bad things in the past (slavery, jim crow, etc), but we also MUST acknowledge the incredible progress that has been made. There's just go to be balance. It isn't all bad or all good, and we shouldn't portray history or the present day that way.
Agreed. It makes me mad we aren’t allowed to acknowledge the great progress that has been made and the fact that despite its past and the fact that we aren’t a perfect country I’d say America today is the least racist country on the planet.
Culture and education are so important too as well as fathers in the home.
