There is less drive and emphasis put on education at all levels. In many areas it is considered to "white" to study, work hard and be smart.
That only changes when parents begin to instill it from birth. Making college not an option but just something that will happen, making good grades something to be proud of.
Takes generations to do though. It is also the reason most Asians do so well in the US. Their families push education and grades like no one else.

That is what the media has a lot of people thinking, the only rich minorities live in Hollywood. All others are poor, that's not it we just don't hang on to mommy and daddy's wallet. We like to earn our own because we believe that holding on to our parents wallet is being lazy. We are taught differently in cultures so we learn differently. Minorities are taught to share, we are not selfish moneyhoggers. In the bible it says, "give and it shall be given", that is what we believe. Our riches in Heaven are more important than what we have now.
"Wealth is worthless in the day of wrath, but rightousness delivers from death." - Proverbs 11:4
It is true that most corporate jobs are owned by old white men who will only hire family members and friends. These corporations have been owned by white families since slavery, so that's why we don't have a lot of our own! This was all a part of the plan! That is the biggest problem!
Don't get me wrong I am not putting everything on "the man". Parents need to think twice before naming their children. Boomshika, LaKeidrianna and Tequila cannot represent a buisiness. Minorities are not lazy, but for reasons listed above we have to work twice as hard if not more than the white man to get a great paying job.
I am obviously a minority. I sound angry because I am educated about race in America everyday. I am far from being poor, so you can erase that thought!
"A stingy man is eager to get rich and is unaware that poverty awaits him." -Proverb 28:22

first off.. how can you classify all Caucasians as one group; white? I am from scandinavian decent and am nothing even similar to my Mediterranean friend, or my jewish friend, Secondly in doing so you fail to see that the people in this country with the most money are in fact jewish. As far as the poor minorities, what they lack in financially they more then make up for in legislative representation. Minorities have more rights then the majority.

Victimization....they have the Jesse Jacksons and Al Sharptons always telling them they are victims and they will never amount to anything.
People like Gen.Powell, Condolizza Rice are viewed as uncle toms because they don't play the game of victim.
Young blacks today do not know the meaning of racism....they should ask their grandparents what it racism really is.

because white people will not hire them so they are either unemployed, in the ghetto, or working at a crappy job. If you white ppl think blacks and other races are so bad, stop trying to drag us down. Leave us the heck alone!

What makes you think there are no poor caucasions.
There are a lot of poor rural whites who are too proud to ask for help, or don't qualify because they aren't in the right select ethnic groupe.
