After reading the article, “If I were a poor black kid”, I have mostly agreed with the author. He was very specific throughout the article and give different situations, and how he would approach each situation. I don’t think that race is greater than hard work, and I think that if someone works very hard, they will get out of any situation they are in and succeed. I feel like that there are many kids that have the opportunity to get ahead but for one reason or another, they choose not to. The kids have the resources to work hard, but not everyone has the resources to succeed. Although the article made it sound very easy for everything to fall in to place in order to succeed, I don’t think that everything will just fall into place. But I think that hard work goes a long way, and if someone keeps working at something then they will succeed at it.
Some interesting and provocative ideas in your posts Frank but most are far too brief to be taken very seriously in the public square. Work to include more detail and analysis about the issues you raise. Also, don't forget that there should be a post a week. You only updated once in March and it was with an assignment that was due prior.
