Well I myself am mixed (75% black and 1/4 white) I have relationships and friendships with people of both cultures. My question is that why on AVERAGE (not all! please do not read my words wrong) do african americans have lower employment rates, higher welfare rates etc. Why are less in college? I understand that college costs money, but that is what student loans are for. I mean, black or white, who has 20,000 laying around the house to pay for tuition? I have been noticing such different parenting approaches as well. For instance I've noticed more white parents encouraging young children. For instance when a child is babbling they will ask encouraging questions- "oh yeah and what did he say?" "what color is this" On the other hand, I've notcied more black parents ignoring this opportunity for communication and enrichment. They are more prone to ignore the young child and even tell hem to "be quiet" I have many more examples, but what do others think? Is this right? What
