The truth will get you fired.

Is it the truth if the Asian kids are from established American families and are not immigrants? Or is one group's family culture prioritizing academic achievement?

It's not that their families were rich but that they were industrious.

They came from a country with regular famines and turned up with nothing. They were often far poorer than the local blacks when they arrived, didn't have family to fall back on and didn't know how to work the system at all. So they had to work hard and invest in education to survive.

absolutely! I have family who came from a communist country with nothing, they are millionaires now after working their butts off and saving. Democrats free hand out culture is not helping black people, if anything it is making them slaves again.

Republicans also did nothing as they've been in power half the time

Government agencies also trafficked drugs through their communities, spread diseases and segregated them, which didn't help

Shame they just had to take all those drugs and couldn't say no, like the communities living right next door.
