I am too-- I wish more would, but there is a lot of factors involved, many things that a person outside of that environment may never understand.

Sadly, many of them maintain the welfare mentality they are raised with. It's generational, but not attributed to the white man any longer.[/QUOTE]


I think that the laws, policies, "glass ceilings" of yesteryear still affect many today. However, the people who nurture the welfare mentality do so at their own demise, and the demise of their children-- and the cycle goes on.
