[A Black Falcon]

That just isn't true at all! So everyone who grows up in a disadvantaged situation and realizes that because of how they grew up they can't be what they wanted to be is a lazy bum with no motivation? That is just lunacy... look, its a proven fact that blacks, and especially lower-income blacks, do worse on standardized tests than white people. Why? No one's really sure, but their economic position, and the racism that still exists in this nation today under the surface, probably is a big part of it. Is it a poor person's fault that because they cannot afford a SAT tutor or class, they won't do as well on the test and colleges will say they aren't as smart as they actually are? Of course not! That idea is insane, yet its what anti-AA people say... it helps disadvantaged people who otherwise most probably wouldn't ever be able to get in no matter how hard they tried. I just don't see how you can say that that isn't true... but you have bizarre ideas about why people are poor (its NOT their fault! Not in 99% of cases, anyway... there's always that one person who goes from rags to riches, but that's so rare that the main thing it does is help keep the poor down and keeps them from realizing how bad their situation actually is (see: lotteries)...
