I only blame poor people if they make their life worse by choices they make. Just because one lacks for money doesn't mean they lack intelligence.


black people may very well be more likely to be locked up but why? I'm going to venture a guess that the very culture I'm currently railing against is DIRECTLY responsible for not only prison numbers but also the number of young blacks who fail to reach adulthood.


I'm not elitist, I merely expect people to achieve to strive to be better. Is that so different from you expecting students in your classes to do well?
