I feel sorry for black American boys. No one expects anything from them except a spot in the future work release program. Otherwise, yes many black West Indians I've known have attended ivy league schools in this country and abroad. Thomas Sowell is right on with this piece. I always find myself getting unnaturally thrilled whenever I meet a black American with a mind of their own and I don't mean politically speaking either.
Lets call it what it is: "a GHETTO mentality." Creating a wall in one's perspective is a sure way to prevent success in life.
