Blacks have a severe lackadaisical attitude towards education and accomplishment.
In the media, many keep trying to use the excuse, "ohhh poopooing, ohh those poor minorities grew up poor and dark-skinned and that is why they perform poorly in school."
But wait a minute. I am a minority also. My family is not Caucasian-American. My family also did not come from a background of being born with a silver spoon in their mouths. My family's original nationality is from the country of Bangladesh.
My family is brown-skinned. When I was little, my family grew up as being somewhat not well-off. But I cannot just use that as a convenient excuse. How lazy is that, that just because someone grew up kinda poor this somehow completely absolves them of any responsibility to themselves? That this somehow completely excuses them from any expectations to do better for themselves, and to improve their lot in life?
I was hearing all these allegations, and they prompted from me the reaction of -- hang on a second. How is that even relevant? What does poorness or money have to do with school performance? I cannot use the excuse -- and I don't -- that just because I am minority, therefore I should not bother to do well in school.
Another excuse they use is, "ohh the racial minorities grew up poor or are currently poor." Uh, so what? I grew up somewhat not enormously well-off enough. So what if someone grew up poor? So what are they saying, are they saying, "ohh well you grew up poor and a member of a minority race, therefore don't even bother to plan for your future?"
So what? You can't let that hold you back. What kind of sad sorry excuse is that anyway? "Oh I'm poor, therefore there is no hope for me whatsoever." They are basically saying that because in their childhood a minority grew up poor, therefore there is no reason to try to improve their life. And worse, therefore there is no chance and no hope that they *could* ever improve their life.
So what if your background is not well-monied? You still have to improve yourself. You still should pursue a good education. You should try to improve yourself and your life, and be better in the future than where you might have been growing up.
Another thing about perceptions. I am very surprised that blacks are not incredibly insulted at this major implication. Basically the mass media and public school commentators are saying that____ are you not incredibly insulted at this notion? Are you not supremely insulted that this is basically stating that,, ""because you came from a slightly not-as-privileged background, therefore we do not expect you to make yourself better."
