Cutest words I've ever heard said to me.

I've never said anywhere that black people enjoy committing crimes, please do not make assumptions. I also hope that you realize that a degree in health/medical administration can also mean a nurse or a doctor's assistant.

You brought up another great point about how students simply don't care, and that is completely true. They see how many of their peers and family members weren't able to make it -- and that leads them to believe that they cant make it either. If they don't care, society won't care. You have to make an effort, and you cant give up. Most of America's millionaires didn't inherit their wealth, a great proportion of those who are at the top 1% came from very poor families. I am aware that there are also many who solely inherited wealth, but the majority are self-made these days. Getting out of poverty is a lot easier than what it used to be, especially with the online web (internet).

If an employer sees you acting in such a way, then they won't want to hire you. Many of America's impoverished youth today seem to be lacking two things: self-respect, and proper mannerisms. They don't know how to speak properly, they don't have respect for others, they don't know how to dress, and they don't realize the importance in first impressions. If I was poor and I had very little money, and I was going to an interview for a job that pays well - I would dress with the best clothes I could get, even if they took out 30% of my monthly wage. You know why? Because first impressions are very important. If these people really wanted to get out of what is known as the "hood", then they would scrap up whatever they could, stay in school, off the streets, and save all the money they earn to move to a better neighborhood. It is not impossible. Minimum wage is nothing, but with the right choices and proper knowledge on finances -- you can make it.

I also hope that you realize that a degree in health/medical administration can also mean a nurse or a doctor's assistant.

What's your point? I never mentioned anything about race in the second quote. If you are going to attempt to grill me, at least use something that doesn't make you look moronic.

What is making him look moronic? Look at everything you have said; you cant talk about moronic.

He thought that I said that black people enjoy committing crimes, and he posted what he called "proof". It didn't prove anything, as I never mentioned a thing about race in that quote. Also congrats on your first semicolon!

true, true. although there is this thing called context. here, since you like dictionary definitions, i'll bring one down for you:

con·text
ˈkäntekst/
noun

the circumstances that form the setting for an event, statement, or idea, and in terms of which it can be fully understood and assessed.
"the decision was taken within the context of planned cuts in spending"
synonyms:   circumstances, conditions, factors, state of affairs, situation, background, scene, setting

example: "in the quote where caribou said poor people like acting like gangsters and being in the hood, it was a topic about african americans, and we were arguing about poor african americans"

Also congrats on your first semi-colon!

let's get some of that sweet sweet proof there buddy

I appreciate you trying to be my teacher, but I think that I've learned what the word "circumstances" mean. Thank you though.

Regardless of what the topic was about, I never mentioned a thing about race. I did use the word "hoods" though, which means ghetto. There are white ghettos, black ghettos, Hispanic ghettos, and Asian ghettos.

+10! I didn't know that you took British literature classes in America. What is it with you and the word racism? I never knew that semicolons and race had a correlation.

you positive? you're saying when i go into that thread, there's going to be nothing, not a single statement, issued towards a specific race. not even something offensive! that's a tall order, you must have not said anything

oh they don't

I'm not sure what to tell you, I am not the one who is still on the level one reading level. I can help you out though, if you want. I am a reading comprehension tutor.

What about having nappy hair and wide nostrils? Having a big weenis doesn't mean much, and having a big build isn't all that important either. Many Europeans also have big builds (Scandinavians, people from the Dinaric Alpha, Dutch, etc). With that being put aside, all races and ethnic groups have pros and cons honestly. We all have our own unique features.

[MoltenKitten]

Oh my god shut up already. If you want to have an argument over race go to tumblr. This is a thread for posting pictures not being attention whores.

[ßlöükfáce]

why are you people going on about this anyway, instead of posting pictures n stuff
