They parents also raised their children to be decent and hardworking adults, so kindly refrain from putting all blacks in Toronto in the same category.

Any poor person in North America can make the choice to rise out of poverty. There is so much assistance available that other countries just do not provide. I hate it when other blacks use their race as an excuse to be a failure.

You did that in your opening post so no one else here had to do it for you which means you are the one to blame for that category even being mentioned.

I hate it when anyone accuses others of what they have done to themselves...

LOL yes!!

To quote the OP's opening post:

"If you do not fit the awful stereotypes of black people, you will also receive some hatred from ignorant black women who embody ghetto stereotypes. Those types are usually jealous of intelligent and successful black women because we make smarter choices and thus have happier lives"

Mentioning a categories within a race is not the same as saying that all members of that race are idle.

I did not state that at all blacks in Toronto fit certain stereotypes. In fact, I was careful to make a distinction based on social class and emphasis on education.

I'm sure this will result in an argument about whether or not my words match your interpretation. However, I am confident in what I have said and the meaning of my words.
