It's a symptom, but far from the root of the problem.

There's a cultural issue there that's regurgitating every generation. Playing the victim, and no aspirations outside of the hood.

Black people in this day and age are generally afforded more opportunities than whites.

That's true. But, this is where I as a 27 year old defer to some older folks. We're blavks not legitimately making forward strides in the 40-50s before LBJ launched these massive government programs? These programs have hurt the nuclear family and wiped the slate of responsibility clean. The percentage of married couples who have children is around 20% now. Now, we have families who are expecting assistance their while life. Like the last interviewer said in the promo, that is the goal. And that is not far from what I experienced in three years of teaching in Tunica, MS.

this along with wanting handouts and everything free. It's not just specific to one race either.

Explain that to some of the elementary school kids I read with here in Parrmore (Orlando).
