Georgia,
I thank those of you that responded seriously to my post. For those of you that, for some reason, think that I was writing from an uneducated background, please, leave responses for those only willing to help. My friend has had some bad luck, and yes, he is not educated, but that is even more reason for those of us who are more fortunate to help. I, myself, am finishing up my first degree in Philosophy, and am about to enter into pre-med. You all have proven youselves ignorant and heartless by your responses. Again, for those of you who responded seriously, I will look into your advice. Thank you
My response:
You said - -
"My friend has had some bad luck, and yes, he is not educated".
"Bad luck"? I guess that translates into, "His luck ran out when he was caught and was forcibly stopped from selling drugs."
"Not educated"? Did somebody hold a gun to his head and say, "If you try going to school, I'll shoot"? Did he not have all the opportunities you and I had to go to school? Or, was it genetic? Was it environmental? Or, was it "choice"?
Oh, please. Uneducated Blacks, and you Liberals, always have some "excuse" for yourselves, and your behavior, and why crap happens to you. And then, when that doesn't work, out comes the "I'm Black" race card!
White America is sick and tired of Blacks always using their "color" as an excuse when crap happens to them. It's old. It's doesn't work. Yet, Blacks just haven't gotten the "word" yet that no one pays any attention to Blacks who use the race card. That's because the rest of us are sick of that tired, old, excuse.
Your friend's problem, at it's most basic, is that his past has caught up with him, and you're looking to coddle him and you're using the race card to enlist someone's help. As soon as you do that, that's when the rest of America looses interest. Next time, use another "excuse" for the reason why your friend is the way he is, and the trouble he caused to himself.
Try, "no excuses at all."
