But this verdict seems so final and leaden and dead, like it is putting a concrete slab on top of a coffin buries in the ground. It seems like lead deadening any and all hope for the future for black people.
This cannot be all there is to the emergency social [[[_concern, dilemma but more huge- crisis_]] that is the topic of black people's academic careers.
There has to be a more optimistic solution than this. There has got to be a [[___policy, solution__ plan of ction]] that works. There must be a realistic solution that addresses black students in high school____
I don’t think it is fair that so many people should suffer from poverty just to make the world more interesting. I agree to the point that people, no matter who they are, should not look for free handouts. Not the rich, who should work as hard as everyone else does rather than just coast through life. Neither the poor, who should realize that they should work and be smart to the best of their ability, even if this helps them to just barely survive.
However, one must realize that the resources that are there to help people simply cannot reach everyone. Some people just fall through the cracks -- people who need financial aid for education or putting their kids in a qualified, safe care center. You cannot simply dismiss these people as lazy, dumb, whatever.
It may or may not be true that inequality breeds advancement, but whom does the advancement truly help? Does it actually help the people who are poverty-stricken, or does it just continue to benefit the super-rich? The world is not just there for us to just sit and accept the way it is. If we have the power to change the cruel and unjust, then we should. I might sound like a lecturing parent, but I say that we have a responsibility to not just let the world go round.
