The...Yeah, this is definitely an interesting issue. The problem is that in search of racial diversity, and perhaps even the reversal of prior discrimination, the doors of opportunity at the top are open for blacks; especially in the realm of education. The problem is that black Americans don't step up to the plate, and these spots are subsequently flooded with African and Carribean immigrants and their children. What I've come to realize is that we can't blame them for stepping up to the plate. A black African/Carribean face is better than no black presence at all. Really, the jig is up for us black American who would rather complain about our "environment" or "racism" or whatever else, rather than taking the albeit-difficult-but-certainly-possible step to achieve more than our circumstances dictate.Parishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02794193916909190693noreply@blogger.com
