Yes, racism exists. It's across the world & in every culture/society. If you think African-Americans aren't racist, you're a bonafide ignoramus. LET'S FORGET RACISM. Ignore it. In this question, RACISM DOES NOT EXIST.

Anyway, I was thinking. I have a number of friends, African-American, who came from the "ghettos" and the "slums". They did something with themselves. Either they or their parents worked hard. Got through school. Worked hard. Went to university. Whatever. One's very high up managerial in Microsoft. Another owns his own construction company, his wife the interior designer they make good money. Another went to university and became a lawyer. Another teaches elementary kids, has for ten years, and will likely be the principal the way she's going.

You could say they're an oddity. They're not.

The majority of African-Americans, what I've seen in a number of cities lived or visited in, have a poor me attitude. They don't necessarily try. They take the easy way out - who the hell wants to wipe tables for minimum wage when gangs say you can make big cash running drugs. Rather than finish through with school they get pregnant young, pop out a few kids, and sit on welfare.

I'm not stereotyping. I'm not white & I've lived "on the wrong side of the tracks" in San Francisco an example where the nighttime "music" was gunshots well into the night.
