They aren't raised that way. It's a lot easier to just blame the white man for all their problems than it is to actually get up and try.

I wouldn't really pay attention to school when you look at all the people who graduate with you and you no that they cant go anywhere. If you live in an area that is run by gangs not the police than my attention would be on living not on if i could read. They see the drug dealers and gang members getting more money then the people who graduate from high school. It isnt a tough decision to choose.

heard a talk radio guy say that you see these guys bragging about their ho's and their bling, rubbing their crotch and rapping about it making milllions of bucks and their buddies selling crack and getting rich, all of this glorified on tv and the movies. In the eyes of a fifteen year old kid is he going to want to go to school or is he going to want to be like the role models portrayed all around him.
Something is seriously wrong here. And it aint happening only in the cities.

I'm sorry, but how are you going to ask a question about Urban Americans and education when you didn't even bother to check your own question for elementary spelling errors? So...how about you ask yourself that question first, dear.
**It's A-P-P-R-E-C-I-A-T-E**
(not to mention, Americans should be capitalized)

It is easier to claim you are being held down by the evil white man than to actually study and work.

Good question. Of course many do but you're right a great deal don't. I think there are alot of variables involved i.e., poverty and racism to name of couple.
