"How can Black Americans achieve true success?"

- Easy. Stop sucking at the Governments tit. And two, take pride in themselves, their work and their property.

This thread is going to get ugly fast.

This problem is NOT a race issue. I know just as many poor white folk that get government handouts.

They too need to get an education, speak correct English, save money, take pride in their selves, their work and their homes.

Poverty is a catch 22. They don't know any different than to be on the receiving end of big government. You have to break the cycle by mentoring and tutoring these folk on a 1 on 1 basis.
