Ok This sh*t pisses me off, I am Black. I spent six years active duty and now I just got out, going to college full time. Now, most black people around the US yes, had bad times, let me give you an example... this link right here, http://www.cnn.com/2007/US/10/11/youth.violence/index.html
in my opinion this has to do with where they live and people giving up AROUND them. No one has a perfect life. NO ONE.
This is true, I will not deny this, my sister got prego at 16 years old... and prego again at 18, 20 and 24.... By 4 different guys! Now, of course things "could have" worked out its none of my busness, but I can tell you something that something she is not doing. SHE IS NOT ON WELFARE AND NEVER WAS. She has lived in some bad places and bounced around alot, but she is starting to get on her feet, gotta love that sterotype. She is going to school WHILE having to take care of these kids (thankfully all of the fathers are paying attention to all of thier kids now...) She is almost done with her Bachlor's btw.
WHAT IN THIS BLUE HELL IS THIS? What about Martin Luther King JR.? Rosa Parks? Barack Obama? Avery Brooks(my role model). And I know there is MANY more. It is a shame that alot of the youth today, not JUST blacks are falling into the gangbanger role. How can you say Black people have messed priorites! I must be really messed up for getting out of the Navy and actually making a life for myself. You can tell that to my BLACK mentally challenged brother as well. Man you don't know sh*t. Ignorance like this just pisses me off. Everyone is different and that is something I am proud of. I am glad I am not like the "sterotypical" black guy. But just becuase they enjoy what they like or do what they do, do NOT assume all BLACKs (African Americans) are the damn same.

The sad thing is, I don't really ever see black people changing. Why get off welfare when it pays more than a minimum wage job and you don't even have to do any actual work to get it.
Black people are in such bad economic shape not because white people don't give them jobs or they face discrimination. They're in such bad economic shape because a majority (over 50%) of black households are single parent households.
These black women get pregnant at 14 with some guy they hook up with and he splits. She drops out of high school, gets on welfare and then she can't raise her bad *** kids right.
Since there's no money and the mother isn't a very good example, the kid doesn't work hard in school and sees that the only "successful" people in his neighborhood are criminals. In most black neighborhoods, the person with the fanciest car, or the most bling is the one everyone looks up to, not the "sucker" making 7.00 hr at McDonald's and who studies every night so he can get into college.
Black people probably aren't INHERENTLY dumber, but the fact remains that they have really messed up priorities. Without good role models, these kids just think that gangbanging is their only way out.
What black people need to do is stop having so many kids in their teens and actually finish high school first so their kids aren't starting life off right behind the eight-ball.

Black guy just schooled you there Damien. Response?
To be honest I would have kept the old one but it was way too big. (Looks up and tries not to find the sexual innuendos in that statement)
