What is keeping blacks and hispanics from moving to better school districts and wealthier, low crime neighborhoods?
Money... Space..
Money, yes. Space, no. That's my point. If they follow CCCP's steps, they will have enough of it to make the move. The one's who make the right choices do.
I coached 2 black kids in baseball. Both were tremendous FB players. Both from the same poor neighborhood. Both were smart kids. One is a junior at Duke who is about to graduate in 3 years with a double major. He redshirted his freshman year, so he has 2 years left of eligibility. He will get his grad school paid for by Duke while he finishes his FB career. The other signed with Auburn. Couldn't stay out of trouble and was back home after his 1st semester running the streets.
I also coached 2 black twins, Mon and Quan. Loved both of these kids. Same household, same poor neighborhood. Quan is about to graduate from college. Mon is in jail.
Its all about personal choice. Your circumstances don't define you. The opportunity is there for everyone to succeed. Tang, When you start taking personal accountability a little more seriously, you are going to do some great things for a lot of people. Stop blaming the institution and raise your expectations of the individual.
