If you talk to kids in mostly white schools and ask them what they want to be in the future, many say doctors or lawyers while if you go to a mostly black school and ask the same age kids the same questions you will get more basketball players and rappers*. This is a prime example of a social force that is holding blacks down, not the poor, because of representation. It is a trap that will hurt them until something is changed.

And this is the fault of white people? This is a cultural failing on their part. What is the percentage of two parent families in black culture? How about teen pregnancy? Drug use, crime? Sooner or later the Black culture will need to stop blaming others for their situations and look for solutions within. Few black leaders have stepped up to the plate to call their own culture on these short comings, I know Bill Cosby has, other than that, not very many.

It is our job to help get rid of the white supremacy and it is their job to take advantage of that when they do get an equal chance.

I would agree, but note that changes will not occur until blacks recognize that many of the problems that exist today are problems that they are responsible for, not some esoteric White Man on a plantation keep them down.
