THE INABILITY TO LEARN, EARN, AND WORK?!?!?! That has to be the single-most idiotic thing I've ever read on this board. I sincerely hope that what you meant was the LACK OF OPPORTUNITY to learn, earn, and work. Otherwise you've just slapped down an entire race of humans.
With the current laws and social climate of today, I believe there is no reason that a minority person, whether black, asian, hispanic, or any other, can't succeed if they actually really want to. I have to agree with Bill Cosby's rant in this respect. Read about some of it here. If these comunities want to better themselves, they MUST change from within.
