CHICAGO – Nearly two months ago, Pastor Corey Brooks proclaimed that race was the least of his community’s problems. Yet so many Americans outside his community would insist that race is the root of its poverty, illiteracy and violence. What these Americans fail to realize is that engaging in race talk or race policies does nothing to uplift or inspire individuals to great heights. If that were true, the pastor’s community would be thriving by now.
The only thing race is capable of is oppression at its worse and patronization at its best. One might argue that racial engineering in the name of diversity is a form of uplift, but that is not true. The power for true uplift can only take place within the soul of the individual.
Zipporah Collins raised her son, Mario Hoover, with this universal truth. Though she worked several jobs as a single mother, she raised him with love and stayed present in his life no matter the challenges. There was nothing magical about her approach — just the universal principles of woodshedding and setting the bar higher and even higher. Last week, her son, a junior at Providence St. Mel School, scored a perfect score of 36 on the ACT, a feat achieved by only 0.313% of all the test-takers.

And as a cheap salve are told - its nothing to do with you. Its racism!
Most still swallow it all too.
Another Ben Carson in the pipeline?
““80% of the households are single parent households”
that blew me away too.
Democrat policies tossed black men out of the home. Now democrats want to pay for free crack pipes for 'undeserved communities' - meaning blacks and minorities. Traditional black families DO NOT WANT FREE CRACK PIPED FOR THEIR CHILDREN - IT'S A FORM OF ENCOURAGING EVIL.
When democrats reward evil - and kneecap good people - they ARE encouraging evil. WE NEED TO STAND WITH TRADITIONAL BLACK AMERICANS.
