>>Please don't tell me that minorities are been kept away from schools/Universities and jobs.

>From the better ones only.

I don't know about that. Have you ever seen who goes to Harvard and other Ivy league schools? The student body list is so full of foreign names.

>IMO, there's no way out of having the poor, as long as we have a lessez-faire capitalism and unrestrained corporations. The powers that be will always need certain level of unemployment (6% unemployment is good for the economy, they say), or else they'd have to deal with employees' demands, and start paying them properly and give them benefits and even, maybe even, decrease their profit rate because of that.

Interesting theory.


>Charity and/or throwing money at the poor will not work in the long run because it doesn't address the cause. And the cause is the corporate need for a certain level of unemployment... which is something that's been out there for a few centuries now.

I think people like NAACP, Jesse Jackson and Al Sharpton needs them more.
