Correction: Education is not free, virtually or otherwise, for "minorities."

Low-income people, "minority" status notwithstanding, can obtain some financial benefits toward education. For example, a low-income student in Harlem who can gain admittance to Columbia can then also earn a specifically-targeted scholarship for attendance.

However, many low-income students are doomed by the poor educations that do not prepare them to be admitted to a school like Columbia. Will they address this problem on the "internet" ?

Playing the blame game is never gotta work in life, one way or another you have to own up and take responsibility.
So why are 1/4th out white births born to women out of wedlock, and why are Asians the poorest group in NYC? Please explain. And no one Black in this thread blamed anyone.

What if the issue is deeply entrenched in our institutions? How does an institution take responsibility for its flaws?

Btw, I am Black and an Ivy league graduate. Most of the whites and Asians on this board and poorly educated compared to me. So Vision, get an education yourself before worrying about anyone else.

An Ivy league dude with a ghetto attitude. How refreshing.

And then you have the nerve to talk about people who use the race card. So anyone who disagrees with you is ghetto? Maybe you need to read more of his post. He's probably the biggest anti-ghetto person on this board.

Typical. Probably was mad at the fact that a whole bunch of truths were given on this forum and it got you envious mad.

You know a lot more about ghetto attitudes than me. It's obvious in your angry, hate filled posts. So talk to us about your edu action and your career. What shining example are you setting for everyone else?

Really ? How do you know ?

Is it ... the grammatical errors you see in their posts ?

Because "poorly educated" is quite a powerful statement.

I am impressed that you can determine races with such certainty, I admit.
