Immigrants have always had a much more unrelenting positive can do spirit being culturally outside the mainstream and having to learn English. Of course. But there are whites and blacks who are the same way.........they just don't emigrate to another country. Obama is an example........he went from HW to CA to NY to Chicago......and grew dramatically in the process. And its true........people who are willing to move.....esp to another country........tend to be more risk takers, adapt faster and will be more enterpreneurial. That doesn't make them superior...........just different. And this compared to both whites and blacks whose roots go back hundred plus years in working class communities. There is something to be said about those who don't emigrate and keep the home fires burning. Just sayin'. The welfare state and excuses from generations ago never allow many in the black community to get out of the cycle and reach their potential. They are not excuses. Laws that allow discrimination against a particular race or ethnic group are not excuses........they are facts. They impede progress..........cause people to give up. Once those laws were taken away, the black community began to see widespread progress. What I am sorry about is the kids being raised in the never ending cycle of public housing, welfare and honest single parent moms working three jobs to keep it going. Whites can help break the cycle and we are.......by keeping our kids in public schools and by taking public housing projects and turning them into mixed income projects like this one in Seattle: thehighpoint.com
