The youngest son is the one that was promised the scholarship...now taking police foundations in school ...one very determined young man...told me to stop worrying...' I won't be another statistic Mom'.....right...stop worrying...

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. |
How do they differentiate between the blacks and the whites....I find this difficult to wrap my head around. Do they say, 'no this is for the blacks, and bc you are white you can't have this scholarship?' If that isn't blatant racism I don't know what is....
