I understand the temptation to want to compare the success of Asians to that of black people. At the same time, I think that is bullshit to limit the comparison to black people. If you want to do that, include white people as well.
I don't know about grants that Asian immigrants may receive, but my perception is that they have a stronger work ethic and are more willing to make personal scarifices than people who are born in America. And why woldn't they be? What appears to be sacrifice to us is living the good life to them. With all the opportunity that is available here, they must think we are sorry and/or idiots for not working our ***** off.

They do. Pretty much every immigrant does. My boss(back in MD), an indian guy, used to say it all the time.

Perfect example of this is at universities. Almost EVERY Asian I have had in a class has been super smart. Work their ***** off to keep up their grades. Also many foreign professors. This goes for the Indians/Mohammeds whatever the f*ck they are too. Those people who I had to ride the bus beside my Freshman year who stank. They were smart too.

I dont know how true this is, but you know how they have the shit that gives points to everyone else to help their grades and scores to get into college? Well supposedly they use this AGAINST asians, because they are considered smarter. I read it in a Michael E Dyson book. I forget exactly what its called.

So how exactly would these people go about funding some random person from the hood?

Walk around the hood with their wallets exposed counting their cash and bragging about the spending limits on their credit cards.

I refuse to watch it, because it just gives black people more reason not to take ownership for themselves and to blame "the man" for keeping them down. There is no ****ing man, it's your lazy *** that can't be bothered to go and get what you want for yourself.

One thing I have noticed here is that all the frequent black posters seem to be very knowledgeable/intelligent. Well, besides Kovemaster (whatever he is).

Something else I've noticed is how in the news and other media outlet, they make it look as if an OVERWHELMING amount of us are still in the "hood"/in poverty/dangerous people. When in fact there has been quite the increase in our middle class.

Also, it seems to be quite uplifting and showing examples of different situations, I think every non-bigot on here should watch it.
