Quote by: drgilbert4  Bunch of Neo-Libs!! I am a White American Voter, though I would prefer to be called an "American Voter" and have all other "______ American Voters" be referred to as the same. It's a shame that even after the Civil Rights Movement, desegregation, Martin Luther King, and any other attempts to level the playing field that I have failed to mention, Americans still try to segregate themselves and band together to share the "chains that bind". This only serves to strengthen those proverbial chains. We should advocate breaking those chains and chasing the American Dream. I see people who have come to this country from Asia, Europe, and Latin America who were clearly at a disadvantage. Many have had to learn the language and have established themselves as productive members of society, but there are millions who were born here and can only see the negatives. "The Man" is keeping them down. The way out of poverty is hard work. If you are uneducated and you feel like that is holding you back, go get an education. There are many ways to finance an education, many of which are already paid for by the government. |
I am so thankful I was not born poor or black. I personally would probably not have the willpower to overcome it. It isn't exactly
easy to
go get an education when you don't see that as the solution to your problems.
