[QUOTE="Beerus, post: 4130, member: 1"] My first post touches more on the foundation needed to change the issue. You are right, the government can only provide so much and it is up to the people to take advantage of it or let it go to waste. It doesn't help when you have people in these groups telling anyone who wants to succeed or move out of the ghetto that they are sell outs and uncle toms either. There are issues within the urban culture that keep people back as well. I won't deny AA has helped people. I know it has helped some but in the grand scheme of things, it isn't helping enough. This is where my first response comes into play. I don't think it is an issue of racism anymore of a trap of government dependency mixed with a lack of family values and a strong community that keep people back these days. There are some stats here if you want to glance over them for drop outs and statistics: [URL]https://www.creditdonkey.com/college-dropout-statistics.html[/URL] (this doesn't show the information I was referring to, I can't remember the site right now) For me, there has to be a better solution, a more fair one across the board that allows people to get access to help if they need it without it being about race or gender or hurting anyone else's chances of having a fulfilling career or future. I don't think the US government is concerned enough with fixing this problem either. They just throw enough free stuff at people and ignore them. [/QUOTE]
