[QUOTE="TerryMiller, post: 1910361, member: 7900"] [FONT=Georgia][SIZE=3]No, I wouldn't say that. Today's blacks weren't really handed a bitter fruit, although some of them may think so because of the constant drumming from those who see them as victims. The main point is that they have the opportunity, although many don't avail themselves of that. How many of any race fail to get an education? Is it because they didn't have money, or didn't have opportunity. In the case of three in my family of four, in spite of being poor (by American standards), my wife and two sons have both achieved college degrees. Granted, there are student loans and at the very beginning of my wife's college days, a few Pell Grants. Many today don't even get the encouragement nor have the will to educate themselves.[/SIZE][/FONT] [/QUOTE]
