I am sooooo tired of people acting like they have no influence on their outcomes! Don't act up in school. Do your work and learn something. Be productive. If you choose to goof off, ignore or even threaten your teachers and misbehave, it is your actions, not your race, that limit your educational opportunities. Yes, in an inner city school it might be harder, but you can get an education if you TRY. I didn't build the school to prison pipeline, you did. Nobody forces you to commit crime. The fault is your subculture, not the culture at large.
Ben Carson grew up in the hood in Detroit. He and thousands of others have managed to do so without going to prison.
“Don’t act up in school. Do your work and learn something. Be productive.”
But that would be “acting white” and the other crabs in the bucket would attack you and pull you back down! Don’t worry tho, it is still your fault because you are on FR, so you must just be an old white man!
