So basically, we are in fact encouraging black people to be lazy/stupid by rewarding them for doing that!<hr size="1" /></blockquote><span class='postcolor'>Your outburst is beyond ill-conceived and is bordering on outright racism. We've already gone over this: If you're poor, if you're parents were poor, if you don't have enough capital to get a decent education/start a business/save money, then you're going to stay poor.
The number of poor people in this country is increasing, not decreasing. Affirmative Action is a poorly conceived patch on a much deeper-seated problem: Municipalities, counties, states that have chronic tax problems and cannot fund libraries, public education, or job training. This is not caused by the poor - an answer that is plain to see - as it hurts them the most. This is caused by those with money. And those with money have always been those with money because the first thing you do when you get money is make sure you will always have money.
Who do you think keeps voting for tax cuts? Who do you think keeps sending those lobbyists? You want to know who is fucking it up for everybody, making it hard for those who can't afford Kaplan training, making it hard for small businesses to get running - it certainly isn't the poor.
. . . whenever any government becomes destructive to these ends, it is the right of the people to alter or to abolish it, and to institute a new government, laying its foundations on such principles and organizing its powers in such forms as to them shall seem most likely to effect their safety and happiness. |
