Coach did not like them....FACT...said that right to my face when I went down there. My son jumped through hoops to get into that college...did everything he was supposed to, got nothing back in return for his hard work. He couldn't transfer the credits he earned from that year in Iowa, when I told him to come home. A complete waste of time and money and one very disappointed young man.....and a seriously pizzed off mother.
As for my job..I am an operator for the fourth largest public transportation corporation in North America....worked my ass off for that job, a job I am proud off, a job I earned...it wasn't handed to me bc of my skin colour...I had to qualify for it....There is no way in God's green earth that we..people of colour have it easier than anyone else....I would really like to know where you got that information from? |
I'm not saying some don't have to work hard but it is a fact there are more scholarships for blacks then whites. I don't think that your skin color means you have to work harder and saying that like the one poster did is wrong and upsetting. I know a friend who said when she didn't get a job at a certain big business she was told off the record that there big boss had to have certain number of each race working there. There are also colleges that do this too. There is pretty much always gonna be racism but its not just to blacks its to everyone heck try being chubby you get treated a whole lot differently too. We should just be Americans and cut special stuff for races lets have a history month for each race lets stop this madness. The only way to stop this is to stop separating people by race WE THE PEOPLE need to do this.
