When peole aren't seperated economicly and socialy race will cease to be an issue.
why does everything have to be a race issue?
When peole aren't seperated economicly and socialy race will cease to be an issue.
when people stop trying to use race as their excuse for poverty they will bridge the economic and social gap.
It's not an excuse. The problem is that you can't grasp the concept I'm presenting to you.
You can't grasp that regardless of the reason, a dispraportionate number of minorities is being affected in a negative manner.
Why is that Clan, do you have an answer that is well thought out, or are you simply going to say that it all starts in the home?
And if it all does start in the home, why are minorities coming from homes where they aren't being set up for success? Why?
You seem to take this discussion and morph it into a "I'm poor because I'm mexican" thing, and that's not what I'm saying. I'm saying that it is far more likely for a minority to fall into these social pitfalls than a non minority, and I have the numbers to back it up.
So, are you able to provide a reason?
Then race will never cease to be an issue. People have been separated economically and socially since the beginning of time.
The have's (who had fire) were envied by those who didn't.
The have's (who had weapons) dominated those who didn't.
The have's (Eve) tempted the one didn't (Adam).
It is a never ending cycle.
God knows I'd love to live in a perfect world where "money" isn't the measure of one's social status.
Kumbayah may happen....at the end of time.
there are many successful minorities... that means it can be done... no excuses... i was raised by a single mother...3 siblings.. by the time i was 22 i was making 6 figures...i have my own house, car, dog, motorcycle, etc... if i can do it, so can anyone else... stop making excuses and do something with your life...(not directed towards you, but to the have nots)
You're still not getting it. I never said that being a minority means you can't succeed. There are numersous cases of minoirties being more than successfull and there are numerous cases where non minorities fail to succeed. You can't diagnose and solve sociatal trends and problems by looking at a select few individuals.
So once again, why is there a dispraportionate numbe of minioritis being effected by social problems?
they choose to...
nobody is going to get you out of poverty to be nice.. you have to get yourself out regardless of your cir stances... if you choose not to, then it is your choice
I also don't measure success by the number of digits in your income.
As Mother Teresa said..
"When you leave this earth you will not be judged by they wage you earn, the homes you have, the cars you own but rather....
I was hungry, and you gave me to eat.
I was thirsty, and you gave me to drink.
I was naked, and you clothed me.
I was homeless, and you took me in."
I know it all sounds foolish but that is what I believe.
So you're telling me that minorities are more likely than non minorities to "choose to" be part of social problems?
Ok, then the next logical question is why are minorities more likely to choose to be part of social problems?
Not everyone "chooses" to be poor.
one part is probably because they choose to have 50 kids when they truthfully can't afford 1..
I don't want "one part", I want a complete answer and I want numbers and studies to back up what you have to say.
are you writing a research paper or what? how do you not know that minorities have more kids than non-whites??? it is like this in every country. even europeans have less kids..that is why many countries are experiencing negative population growth patterns...
I feel ignored.
sup joe!
what do you want someone to pay attention to you about?
I think the answer is within each person.
Some will not take "no" for an answer while others allow "no" to be their answer.
Going back to the original le of the thread, I've found news articles from multiple states which indicate sharp rises in dropout rates after the implementation of tough standardized testing.
well, if you are afraid of a standarized test, you should drop out... you have no place in academics... only re s can't pass standardized tests...
I have a friend who is incredibly smart, has two degrees, and can talk about almost every subject under the sun, who failed the math part of the TASP three times. She had to pass it to sign up for classes in her last semester and she got a study book. She called me up at 11 the night before the test and I stayed at her place until 5 teaching her the test. She ended up getting 92% percentile. What I am trying to say is that re s arent the only ones who cant pass those tests.
No, I'm trying to get you to actually do a bit of thinking. Provide some figures that show that minorities have higher family size. It's not that hard.
Also, is the larger family size the cause or a symptom of the problem? Is it a by product of living in poverty or is it the a leading contributer to poverty? And is our lack of a good sex edcuation system in the public education system not a contributor to the larger family sizes?
I don't agree that family size is a leading cause of disparity like this. It may be a contributor, but it may also be a symptom at the same time.
I would argue that your reasoning for declining population values are not as simple as you'd like to make them out to be also.
You seem so afraid and so unwilling to look at this issue from a different perspective.
Really? What if the reason they can't pass the test is an inadequete education system?
What makes you think there's something wrong with the sex education in the public school system?
Oh, nothing! It's just daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaandy.
