BOOT CAMP!!! He went to college on Uncle Sam on top of that... I never claimed that we don't use the system guys, I said that there must be reasons OTHER than we're just lazy.

Again (post #58), do you see this as primarily an issue of race or economics? You seem to be vacillating through the discussion between the two. Like this post seems to indicate race, while your post immediately before it is all about economics. It also happens to be remarkably similar to how a few white people on here said they grew up.

You keep using "we", but the way I'm reading it you have used it to describe black people. I couldn't care less about how you self identify racially, but more than a few times you have used "we" in situations that are far from unique to the black community.
