I agree 100%. When there is adversity people drop out. The problem is that Black people have the most systemic and legally advocated adversity to deal with. When we learn to stop asking the people supplying the adversity to stop doing it and start charting our on course we will be fine.As long as African Americans keep seeing themselves as victims, instead of seeing themselves as survivors, the numbers will keep growing.
In other words, don't blame everyone else for your problems, deal with them, and take responsibility for yourself and your children.
There are many African Americans much more successful than I am, and that doesn't bother me one bit, however, to many African Americans, and white American trash, think that everyone else owes them something. That is the kind of thinking that keeps people from ever achieving a decent life.
