Outrage Over Texas College MLK Day Party (featuring 40's, fried chicken, etc) PICS

you don't think your higher education helped in your small business venture? I doubt someone with a high school education would have the insight to start such a business. Brokerage is tough.....you really have to have a special insight into that which you're trying to move. Not saying it's impossible.....but people with a high school education probably would not know the basic fundamentals of operating a business like keeping books.......someone would have to teach them.


Honestly...I don't think secondary education was necesary in my field at all...my work experience in my field was all that was needed....along with solid math skills, the ability to use spell check and to understand some fairly basic concepts......other than haveing some really great times in college....it was a total waste of time in my career path.....I know alot of people with much more education who haven't done as well finacialy as I have......I am a firm believer that hard work & dedication are the keys to success more so than education......a lack of work ethic seems to be most underachievers downfall.....not lack of education......

Back to guy who has to go to Gay rehab. LOL. Conseling for non PC behavior is becoming big business. Pimp and Ho rehab. LOL. The funny thing is every black guy I know around here eats fried chicken and watermellon.


oh be serious......could it be that KFC is cheap? I think you'll find alot of black guys at Mcdonalds too........it's a function of their economic status.....not their race. You'll be hard pressed to find a deep fryer in zulu country.......let alone a chicken sitting in it.

well, I can't argue with you on that point....I don't know you. All I can say is congrats, you've made it....hope I'm where you're at in a few years. But I will still argue that not anyone can make it like that.......I'll still say you had one or more people in your life that either set you straight or gave you some insight into life and this "machine" we all live under. I just don't see how some people can make anything of themselves coming from certain backgrounds.......education in this country is not equal, but it should be. Given a solid foundation of skills.........than yes, it's up to them. But they can't use what they're not given.

I will admit that I can see your point...that it may be harder for some...due to being in a very tuff enviroment that it maybe harder to excell for them than others.....but opportunity is still there if they work hard enough to overcome.....also other people will see a strong work ethic and will be much more willing to lend a hand or direction to someone who is working there ass off regardless of color or creed...

amazing

sadly, i never heard about this guy until you posted about it

what a ballsy bastard, good for him
I thought all that was for naught
he scored the first victories against the Reich
 
It gets better swole
I can't find my Gayle Sayers thread
he wrote a book titled
"I am Thrid"

today's wall street journal had an article about the two coaches in the super bowl
both are not the type to yell,scream etc. to motivate their players

as the article winded down Dungy spoke of an interview in which he was questioned if this job would be number one in his life
he said no,his family and faith came first
and I immediately thought of Gayle Sayers' autobiography
"I am Third"
I read it when I was 12

"Brian's Song" so moved me I read Gayle Sayer's book
yeah I knew as a kid Sayer's was good

I remember to this day exactly where I was and what I was doing when we kids heard OJ Simpson broke 2000 yards against the Jets

my point
the black community isn't showcasing their proper stars

it's astounding to me you haven't heard of Jesse Owens
wtf?

That IS sad that you didnt learn about people like that in school.

LOL to think how Hitler's ass must have been soooooooooo burnt, not only beaten by an American on their home turf but to be beaten by SUCH a non-Aryan.

Stupidity and evil. Not pretty but so sadly prevalent in the world. Why we should TRY to be kinder to one another whenever possible.
still though a re-unified Germany dominates the winter olympics now

I tend to avoid discussions of "evil" and focus on what happened

I thought JEsse Owens was taught in middle school or high school histroy or something. I learned that a long time ago. Must have been squeezed from the curriculum and replaced with a black history lesson that DIDNT involve a black person achieving something on their own and making something for themselves without gooberment assistance.
find my Gayle Sayers thread that went nowhere

stilleto posts of flava flav
I make a thread about Gayle Sayers
