I throw a fit because a black kid makes it into the local state university. Not of course the kid actually deserved it, but having to pick a minority over a more qualified white person because of the race requirements, it's bullshit. I don't care if you're black, asian, mexican - whatever. If you get in, get in because you made the grades, not because of the law. Other than that, let's make out.
That black kid hasn't had the benefits of state funding that you have.
Poor communites mean low tax revenue. Low tax revenue means less money to spend of government institutions. This forces the school corporation to "tighten it's belt". This kills any sort of after-school programs (sports, clubs, groups), what are known as "creative arts" (music, art, computers), and the lower-priority educational categories (physical education, science, advance maths, literature). This results in a depressed, unfit, uneducated youth, with a lot of free time on their hands. Most of the people I grew up with are barely making it on their own, if they're not dead or in jail.
Due to second-class citizenship and 'White Flight', I'm sorry to say that the vast majority of us unfortunate souls happen to be black. Personally, I'd like to expand Affirmative Action to be based upon community background and financial gain.
