They have more opportunities because they get an extra push. They start organizations such as the NAACP and have the ACLU always on their side. Affirmative action guarantees them that no matter their academic performance, they can get into a college that a non minority worked twice as hard to get into. I can see the reasoning for having it, but in the end it will only hurt them.
I specifically said black neighborhoods because around here this is where all the crime is. You look at towns a few miles away from me such as Hillside, Irvington, Newark, East Orange, etc., etc., and they have shootouts and robberies daily. This is just a fact that these are very unsafe high crime rate towns. So of course people will lock their doors when driving through them.
So what was my point? My point was that with all the help they are given to succeed, most choose a life of crime in place of trying to better themselves. Which is why their neighborhoods are so full of crime making them unsafe. It is my personal choice not to go rob a gas station...why do they? Nobody is keeping them from attending college, from getting good jobs (We even went as far as establishing quotas to make sure they get them!) There's a point where you cant help a person anymore and they gotta start working at it for themselves.
Am I 14? No. But if I was, would it matter? Are you being discriminatory against youngsters?![]()
Good points. But don't waste your time arguing with morons. JK
