Oh, it's not just that. As Barak Obama said quite well at the DNC, there is a culture of ignorance within the African American community. Oh, I said something that's controversial but true. 'Bookworms' in a black communities are the targets, the ones who get beat down. Who gets respect? Not the educated, not the learned. This has to change, not only there but everywhere as it's growing. I'll give you an example. In my community (religious Jewish), education is seen as the top of the top. It's what you want, it's what you work for, etc. You can be the strongest man in the world and you'd get less respect than an average scholar. But that's the religious community. I've been listening to some non-religious Jews from a certain part of the country talk and it shocks me. They sound like the standard ignorant wiggers who make Gen X look like Einstein. I can't understand how they became that way and you want to know something, they are not going to be CEOs in the next 40 years in most cases. (and I'm not saying all non-religious Jews are like that, just a specific sample I have) If this culture of ignorance is not reversed then whites and AA will not be the issue. Asians, Pakastanis, Indians and just about every other immigrant group who still prizes education will be the next CEOs and whites will be added to the quota.
