FUCKIN WHITE PEOPLE...

I agree, education needs reform too. Not necessarily along lines of race, but definitely along economic lines. The system the way it is pretty much sets people from poor areas up for failure, and then when they do fail they aren't given sufficient opportunity to get back on track.

How do you justify any of this?

When my family immigrated here we had less than $200 dollars in our pockets, I was 6 years old, my sister was only 1month old. The Jewish Community center helped us out for only 2 months, and my father had to wash dishes and deliver pizzas to keep us afloat. We lived in the shittiest fucking part of Buford Hwy. Now my sister is going to an Ivy League School, my Father is the lead interior architectural designer at a top restaurant design firm, my mother is a supervisor with 11 employees under her, and I am, well I am just a 24 year old pot head.

Which just goes to show you, its not about what situation you are dumped in, its the personal decisions you make in life that take you to the life you live.

You had a supportive family, motivated toward success. Lots of people don't have that. Its awesome that you succeed, but not everyone has the same circumstances. Had you made the wrong choice, or had an accident happen, etc your outcome might have been different. Mine too, or anyone's really.

And you guys are right, a lot of the reasons people stay down have to do with motivation. But why are people not-motivated? What can we do to encourage/enable people to take advantage of the opportunities they already have?

life is nothing but choices, america is far from a 3rd world country so there is no excuse why someone makes the wrong choice.

You must be a fucking democrat. I didn't have any motivation or support or even a family. I made myself who I am. Democrats think everyone needs someone to hold their hand and then they'll succeed. Some people are just failures, nothing you can do about that.
