There are also opportunities that are made to blacks that aren't made to whites such as additional minority scholarships. That doesn't impact upper middle class whites since they can just pay for school but you bet your ass that I would have liked to have gotten that scholarship when I was initially going to school.
I've never said it was easy for blacks. That would be naive. I just laugh at the idea that there is too much against them to ever be successful.
Your post is interesting. Obviously you don't like AA, not my name but the meaning. I don't either but I never saw it as well. Out of my class of 278, I was 13th, the highest black but every black I knew say I was the smartest and they do to this day. They also said I would go the furthest, but that is not correct, job wise yes, I have the good ones, but one is a welder, dumber than schit but can do his job better than anyone is rich. I was an FAA Air Traffic Controller with card, license and everything and if you didn't know, I panicked and broke down and left that career. My love was computers, always since the mid 70's and went back to school for it, no stress and graduated from a top 100 university in this country plus going to top 20 schools in the process.
It is about my race doing what they have and doing the most for it, my friend, no college education, fix muscle cars, welded things, secured a job with a train company making over six figures, I couldn't even do that until later and even now if it wasn't for my wife I would make even more, but I know family is more important.
As blacks we need to get away from that culture and use our skills to secure good jobs and teach our youngsters the same thing. Sav can say the same thing as my best friend, an Air Traffic Controller (moved to Canada, still trying to find out where he is), was Filipino and taught me some Tagalog and invited me to his house on many occasions to experience their really nice culture. He was a great cook. Probably the best of my friends and my ex wife loved it.
