Hopefully this will happen, eventually getting to smart boards, but it has a long way to go to even get to health requirements, let alone learning requirements

no. you live with your head up your ass. trying to tell me about the job you have never studied for?  . the rich get richer and the poor get poorer, ALL races. and who do you think makes this happen? OUR GOVERNMENT. left wing right wing SAME MOTHER****ING BIRD, and it's hell bound! there's trash in both parties agreeing to ****ing us all over while they stay rich+ taken care of and we ALL fight for scraps amongst ourselves like we are doing now  . they not only don't give a **** about black people, they don't give a flying **** about ANYONE .
and federal assistance isn't to just keep black people poor  . veterans, the elderly, the physically and mentally ill, newborn babies abandoned in hospitals, etc THESE people also rely on assistance. it is there to ASSIST those in need. you don't get to choose who those people are bitch, social services does. it was my job i would know. but you're the type of mother****er who would pull the plug on your own grandma because paying a fraction of a price via your taxes for her to be in a convalescent home would be too much trouble for the poor little government . and like i said, they make miracles happen in Washington like Benny Hinn when TBN's cameras are rolling: BILLIONS for wars, NASA, etc but we don't have enough for our veterans etc . how nice huh?

Yes. They should provide them with free post-secondary education, free extra-curricular activities/classes, etc.

My god, the ignorance and blinding privilege some of you have is incredibly depressing and I'm only on page 8. Learned my lesson about going on a race thread in a mostly white forum

that said, i do think the government should do more for poorer people in the country, especially black people, but really it seems to me like they just don't care enough about them at all. it's sad. but that's how it's been for centuries and no matter how much the US claims otherwise, we really have just as bad of a class disparity as the rest of the first world.

oh i agree completely! as for the bailout, we gave them far more than what they put us in the hole for. which is exactly why i'm not happy with it, we owe China to top it off . it's helping us but they got more money than they needed and are keeping it themselves. we paid for their bailout via our taxes too. sneaky assholes.

If that's what you what to believe, I can't stop you. But I do agree with the latter.

Now you're over dramatizing my opinion about a systemic problem within the black community into an entire generalization about federal assistance. I said nothing about veterans, the elderly, the physically and mentally ill, newborn babies abandoned in hospitals not deserving federal assistance now did I? Those are the people that DO need it.

we kinda need to just have it to where for the next 10-15 years, black people and other persons of color who are US citizens by birth are given free education.

a free GOOD education sis, cause we're all educated for free from K-12 in America, doesn't mean it is a good education for all thanks to inequality, etc.

bitch are you on crack??? only one making generalizations here is YOU. you're beyond willingly ignorant. no one is agreeing with you, whether they are black, white etc! you have never done my job yet you're acting like you actually ****ing know all about it . i simply mentioned all those who need assistance to show your stupid ass WHY WE NEED IT. and you finally agreed that assistance IS needed but you still insist denying black people assistance if they need it just because they are black .

I believe everyone should just be as equal as any other race. no one should owe anyone or any race anything, we should be able to move on from this and make new history living in peace and in love.

Corporate wealth was built on the back of slaves and most of those corporations still stand today, so yes. Racist ATRLers will continue blaming blacks though.
