Reply #32: I didn't state racism isn't a problem or imply it. That resort to a straw man shows a weakness

in your attempt to make a point.

And kids aren't going to see an alternative unless they WANT to.

And if you read the article I posted, it presents the case of black immigrants who do NOT allow the problems you want to cite as being insurmountable to keep them from taking jobs and moving up the economic/social ladder.

Again, I and the author cited do not say there is no racism, or that there are not social and economic factors negatively effecting black kids.... but that is NOT ALL THERE IS TO THE EQUATION>
