I know one thing that's for should...I'm sick of seeing Kyle Korver's mug...
I would like to challenge Wayne's commentary a little, and at the risk of being repetitive, I'll just copy and paste my post of several pages back. Again, if anyone cares to refute, it, feel free.
"I agree with your post for the most part, however to totally dismiss how a person starts out, the environment they learn about life (from the beginning) in, and the initial opportunities they are provided, is not looking at the whole picture. Those who overcome truly difficult starts are the ones that should be held to high standard and should be admired, no doubt. But they simply have more to overcome and more difficulty in achieving it. To compare a poor child (of any color) to a child born into a more wealthy environment just doesn't add up. There can be no doubt (IMO) that those starting out with money around them have a better chance to succeed than those who don't. If anyone can explain to me how this is untrue, go for it. And if you can't, then therein lies the big difference.
Of course, those with money have their own issues, some of which can be quite problematic for achieving success. But I'd say on the whole, the difficulties encountered there deal with personal decisions, too, don't they?
Bottom line - who here really thinks that a baby born in the ghetto, to a single mom, has as good a chance to succeed in life as does a person born into a millionaire's home? Seriously?"
