Gates On Affirmative Action

I was not offended by the "watermelon" comment.

It was the assumption that "Affirmative Action" is a necessary for Black people to make it in America. We now live by ourselves and in cities who's key institutions that are controlled by people we favor. Still Prof Gates sees the full expression of our potential coming exclusively through White channels.

The biggest barrier to Black Academic Achievement today is the amalgamation of dysfunction that is presented in majority Black urban schools.

• Lack Of Parental Support
• Discipline Issues At School
• The Unwillingness Of The Black Establishment To Transform The Prevailing Culture Into One That Is Tolerant Only Of Academic Excellence
