re: "Stop blaming black parents for underachieving kids"

It took me a while to learn it, but there is nothing more true than that line: life is about choices. Bad choices lead to bad situations.


We tend to want to treat the symptoms, throwing money at schools, etc., while we continue to have policies that encourage poor lifestyle choices, so the problems themselves only get worse. Our nation has a cancer and we treat it with aspirins and band-aids, not wanting to truly discuss how we can fix this mess. I feel for the little kids who are left with no chances in life because their parents make terrible choices.
