  • No amount of spending can help most of the Black community. Besides, I really feel for those Blacks who do make an effort to learn.... They are made fun of as "Acting White". Most of the Black community looks at learned Blacks as "Sellouts" to the Black community "Dat be Tryin' To Keep It real", Know What I be Sayin?" You feelin' me, brotha?"

    The windows collapsing aren't the real problem, Alonzo.... It's the collapsing of the work ethic in "Da 'Hoods". Don't you get it?

  • and yes to motivate blacks they go to schools where the windows must be borded because the window frames have been collapsing in on students, and in these schools there is no air conditioning. and if you are wondering where this is well it would be the great new york city. so before you just blame it on black people being lazy how about we give these schools adiquate funding and a descent place to learn

  • The lack of understanding that people are exhibiting in their post is very telling.

  • @alonzoclark yeah?, visit India for a change...talking about air conditioners and falling windows! bullshit!

  • yes, the government helps blacks by spendinng hal the amount of money in a inner city school that is segregated with oh only about 97% ethnicity but if that same black kid were only 15 miles away in a suburban community there education be worth doubly more.

  • Genetics, people...

  • A.C.H.I.E.V.E.M.E.N.T. G.A.P. = "Asians Complete Homework Indeed Everywhere Versus Ebonic-speakers Mouthing Excuses Nonstop, Tardy-proneness, And Anti-educational Propensities"

    One need not just use Whites to compare to Blacks. I witness most Blacks' attitudes as abysmal academically. The burden is on them, not the schools..... Schools go out of there way to try to motivate these Blacks.....often to no avail.

  • this looks like some stuff yves would do _ Jordan
