Quote by: copabeat  According to some recent information released "Africian American" graduation from high school for males is at an all time high, a shameful 40%, with less than 20% going on to College. Boy, that just s***** can't we do better than that? (All Americians)
Could you imagine what American life/culture would be like w/o the contributions of "African Americans" ( Sorry, I hate that term ) Boring & and who would have done all the hard work to lay the foundations for this great land? I know their were others too, but at least they got the credit for what they did. |
TBH The contribution of Blacks as far as the industrial development of the country goes was (and still is) minimal, and its not that they aren't given credit, its that they only amount to about 10% of the overall population. Fact is my friend that credit is given to the ones that do most of the work, yes Blacks and other minorities have historically taken the less desirable jobs, (and usually the less desirable pay). Mentioning everyone involved in something is stupid. Thats like Steven King writing a book, put putting all of the contributors (which im sure there are many) under the name of the author.
