[QUOTE="Flipx99, post: 3411396, member: 562352"] The tools, yes....as I would bet white people allocate funding differently that blacks...I would say if I handed out $10,000 to blacks and whites on the same community, they would spend it differently, but could be categorized based on race. This is one of the reasons I want to be rich....so I can provide opportunities for social mobilization to see who's fault it really is. The guidance...I am more iffy about. From what I have witnessed, blacks are have much tighter family alliances than whites. I have cousins I have never seen and never will see don't live 50 miles away. I don't have beef with them, I just don't see any value in meeting them other than social networking to find a job. From various comedians, it seems as if black grandmothers have tons of guidance to pass down and are far more influential than white grandmothers. This is all anecdotal evidence, but to say blacks are not given proper guidance...I don't think so. They have not been given proper guidance on being successful on the SAT (probably because they didn't take it)...but the opportunities are out there. I just find it so hard to understand a situtation where I couldn't learn. I have been incarcerated. They let you have books there...not good books (most of them are faith based), but they do let you read.... Maybe I am so insulated by my own drive and determination I don't consider how someone with slighly less motivation would be less likely to succeed. I know I am rambiling, but maybe more or less thinking on paper.... Say I was a mediocre white kid...my parents would care and there still are people trying to push me along to go to school, learn a trade, etc. Now say I was a medicore black kid....parents may not be as aware of opportunites for mediocre children and I fall through the cracks? Is this what is happening?
