You do know that Stanford kids smoke weed too right? As do Harvard, and Yale and any other college or university that has "people" walking its campus.

By "Stanford kids" what he really means is more white kids. He's just too much of a cuckold **** to say it.

Never mentioned race. That's your issue, not mine. Golden made it clear he wants to model the new U on the Stanford program. The AA kids (since you brought up race) on the Stanford are, in general, of a different class than too many of the morons in South Dade.

Then again, AG must be a racist.

All of these posts of yours are glaringly ignorant, though you actually made the correct point by accident. It's a class issue, as in communities isolated and stricken by poverty for generations. They're not morons, just disenfranchised black Americans.

Really...you are going with disenfranchised.....I go with poor values and morals, what about the few that make it from these poor areas, where they chosen to succeed or did they decide, they did not want to live off of handouts and the government all their lives...I don't buy disenfranchised for a minute, unlucky possibly, last I looked there were roads leading out of those areas with no road blocks or the MAN sending them back, colleges except all folks now days.....If you want better its there, and you dont need to run a 4.5 40 to get out...just try a 3.5 and start there.....
 
That's ignoring all of American history. Instead of investing in Black communities this country has always chosen to segregate them, isolate them, intimidate them from participating in the democratic process, and police, sentence and incarcerate them with abject cruelty.

I think the history of Overtown speaks for itself. All from Wikipedia...

"Originally called Colored Town during the Jim Crow era of the late 19th through the mid-20th century, the area was once the preeminent and is the historic center for commerce in the Black American community in Miami and South Florida... the separate but equal segregation laws of the Deep South dictated the city designate the portion of the city, in this case, north and west of FEC railroad tracks, as "Colored Town." The second-oldest continuously inhabited neighborhood of the Miami area after Coconut Grove, the area thrived as a center for commerce, primarily along Northwest Second Avenue. Home to the Lyric Theatre (completed in 1913) and other businesses, West Second Avenue served as the main street of the black community during an era which, up until the Civil Rights Act of 1964, barred African American residents from entering middle and upper income white areas like Miami Beach and Coral Gables without "passes." During the Florida land boom of the 1920s, Overtown was home to one of the first black millionaires in the American South, D. A. Dorsey (who once owned Fisher Island), and the original Booker T. Washington High School, then the first high school educating black students south of Palm Beach.[2] Community organizing and mobilization during the era, as such in actions of Reverend John Culmer, who advocated for better living conditions for lower class blacks living in abject squalor during the 1920s, led to the completion of Liberty Square in 1937 in what is now-called Liberty City. Northwest Second Avenue and the surrounding neighborhood, once-called the "Little Broadway" of the South,[3] by the 1940s hosted hundreds of mostly black-owned businesses, ranging from libraries and social organizations to a hospital and popular nightclubs.
Popular with blacks and whites alike,[4] Overtown was a center for nightly entertainment in Miami, comparable to Miami Beach, at its height post-World War II in the 1940s and 1950s. The area served as a place of rest and refuge for black mainstream entertainers such as Count Basie, Ella Fitzgerald, Cab Calloway, Josephine Baker, Billie Holiday, and Nat King Cole who were not allowed to lodge at prominent venues where they performed like the Fontainebleau and the Eden Roc, where Overtown hotels like the Mary Elizabeth Hotel furnished to their needs. Further, many prominent African American luminaries like W. E. B. Du Bois, Zora Neale Hurston, Joe Louis and Jackie Robinson lodged and entertained in the neighborhood.[5]
The area experienced serious economic decline from the late 1950s. Issues ranging from urban renewal to the construction of interstate highways like I-95 (then, the North-South Expressway) and the Dolphin Expressway in the 1960s, fragmented the-once thriving center with the resident population decimated by nearly 80 percent from roughly 50,000 to just over 10,000.[6] The area became economically destitute and considered a "ghetto" as businesses closed and productivity stagnated in the neighborhood.[7]

I cut and pasted the above but the whole article and source material is worth reading obviously. That's just one example of a thriving black community being disenfranchised. Here's Liberty City... These issues are the beating heart of Hurricane football.
 
yet the Cubans Swam here and for the most part are thriving pretty well in less then 30 years...

Oh well this for another time and board...We all agree its sad and too many promises were made to all people
 
I don’t think its a retarded thread. It is maybe inappropriate for the recruiting forum. But allow me to add my nickel and dimes….

To suggest that race and ethnicity in this country does not impact one's life is truly ignorant. We do not live in a post racial society. Racism, discrimination etc, whether institutionalized, individualized, overt or covert is very much alive in this country. No one can deny that minority groups as a whole have made major strides in recent decades. As has been pointed out, some groups (cuban americans) have really flourished in less than 50 years. BUT one cannot ignore the generational impact that our history of racism, discrimination, and prejudice has had and continues to have on certain groups (i.e., People of African descent in particular), despite the progress made.

This is not an excuse but rather fact that has been backed up by published research. We cannot ignore the impact that certain practices in this country have had on certain ethnic minority groups.

It is easy to believe that WE have turned the page as a society in terms of race and the impact it has on our lives. BUT the truth is that certain groups obtain privilege simply due to their race and others suffer to some extent because of it.

305, you have obviously hit on a truism, but do not ignore cultural issues as well --- mainly the matriariacal society that is still rather significant within the African American community today. BTW, I do recognize that that society, to a large degree, is a vestiage of the slavery years & breakup of African familys at that time.
But major strides have been made within the African American community to remedy that and involve more paternal male role models for kids.
