"The Man"

Richard, that is so true. I get so tired of our people using color as some sort of justification of why success is not evident. I believe the difference between those that are on HBCU connect and those that are not is how well a person takes advantage of opportunity. Success is when opportunity meets preparation. Its disgust me to see every other race excel but my own. In addition to all that I've already said, this mentality of I got mines, you better get yours, is ridiculous. I know that might be a little off the point, but it had to be said. Please, like I always say, my beautiful people, dust the ignorance off your shoulders. Its unnecessary weight.

Almost every other race supports thier own except ours. We as a group of ppl dont do the simple things to exault eo... like giving back to hbcus... little things like that...but saying that society doesnt play apart in that matter is absurd...however with faith and ambition all who believe have the ability to prevail...its ultimately each individuals choice.

I couldn't agree more with y'all. I see too many black people fighting against each other. Look at the rappers and ect. It's stupid. I just don't see the help these days. I don't even a lot of blacks reaching out to the homeless black people. In Atlanta, you can throw a stick up in the air.. and it will land on a black church. Yet we have soooo many homeless BLACKS on the street every night.

If anyone is to blame it's ourselves. True, just like you stated it is harder for our race overall, but it's up to us as individuals to change that mind set we, as African Americans, seem to have. Good post!
