I know I do. and i know thats what my parents did too just to be at the level of whites here where we live. my family and i went from living in one of the worst cities in the country (southcentral & compton) to owning a beautiful 2 story home in a beautiful spot in southern New Hampshire. How did they do this? They said they examined their white counterparts, and aimed at working at least twice as hard as they did. had they not done this, u'd probably still find us in the corner of ghetto old crenshaw and main street with the rest of the african americans and mexicans who decided to just keep doing what theyve been doing like if theyve never met a white person b4. as a minority, you cant be left doing what whites expect you to be doing. you gota just be determined and focused to know that by working at least twice as hard as they are, anything is possible.

It doesn't matter what color you are - you have to work hard to succeed in America.

That's the word on the street, and I think it is true to an extent. I would work hard irregardless.

No hard work speaks for itself, and lazy white people get fired just like lazy minorities

I'll agree with Pepper, too. The daily grind does not discriminate. lol

Everyone should work just as hard. There are quotas and affirmative action programs where blacks have the advantage over whites.

No but I think women have to work harder than men because we are looked at differently

No.
Just work more cheaply and not expect legal protection of their rights.
