I didn't grow up much different than blacks. Food stamps, welfare, single mom, and 4 siblings. All five of us worked hard and are in white collar jobs. Excuses for failure are a bad poison.

Oh your parents didn't go to segregated high schools?

I never owned slaves and I've never kept the black man down. If anyone still has a problem now it's their problem.

You and your family members had an advantage when applying for those white collar jobs!

Mine didn't. By the way, is desegregation for diversity or to raise test scores in mostly black failing schools with an injection of higher scoring white students?

That's what you would like to think isn't it. Keep lifting them up on your shoulders and they'll be glad to step on your head on the way up.

Do you mean "forced busing" or do you really mean desegregation? Surely you don't think we should have segregated public schools.
