Education begins at home, if there is no education at home, then what chance has the child have? Boyz in the hood was a great film, in that it shows just one kid who wants to get ahead in life, whilst his friends were just sitting around, playing dominoes, generally dossing around, and in the end, it is the one who gets on in life who gets the bullet. They have choices just like we all do; let others do their thing and do your own thing, go on your own way, even if it means dropping your friends because in the end, it will be you who is brought down to their level.

Citation given. Perhaps you live in a middle class area where there are no blacks thus you can say that. Perhaps you live in Alpin. Secondly, with reference to your previous post, you only went to London? Perhaps you should have gone up north instead. The North-South divide is evident.
