Why do people always have to classify by race?? I go by achievement and not by anything else..

@Loki Jordan life should be like a coloring book. If you use many colors you can get a beautiful picture, but if you only one color you get a boring one color mess. Many make such a big deal out of using a race for an excuse..

@First Name Last Name I grew up as a share cropper and we were classified as poor white trash. Many that were lucky to go to school quit at the 8 grade because they thought that we were needed on the farm. My father had by this time had found a permanent job with the National Guard making $20 a week. He said that I could quit school in the 8 grade, but I didn't. I joined the military and received more education. Now at 76 I am well off . If a person tries hard and finds good luck they can accomplish Great Things.

@John France sorry, but, yes it has to with race. It showed how people acted or were treated by people of different races as they became rich.

@Addis Dejene no. I am just a country boy who grew up as a share cropper. I fought hard to get educated and to increase my. wealth....
