So what's your excuse.

As for the work observation, if it were only so easy. Kozol's book would be a good place to begin reading to see why it's not.


John,
The only excuse I have is that I'm always happy when I wake up on the green side of the grass.

Try selling that book on the NC A&T University Campus.
There, a nearly all minority faculty and student body think they can work their way out of the ghetto. They actually spread the word that it can be done.

NC A&T is one of the fastest growing Universities in America and has a student population well over 90% Black. Maybe if they read a few more white man books that explain why they can't succeed by working hard, they will give up this pipe dream.

Seems to me the only folks who think blacks cannot work their way to success are white.
