Much truth in that article. Having seen it firsthand. It’s their culture. If anything a large percentage of the black population seem to have a self defeatist attitude. The ones who have positive mental attitudes that apply themselves seem to do very well and are successful at whatever they do. I believe their mothers and grandmothers (especially the grandmothers) have the greatest impact (especially Christian grandmothers) on who they become by painting a different picture of their future and having greater expectations, by encouraging them to engage in hobbies and activities to give them confidence and putting them in church to teach them right from wrong and understand that there is a G-d who loves them but can also punish them for bad behavior. I’ve seen several grow up in this type of environment and I’ve seen others grow up in the ghettos. Guess who turns out to be good, hardworking men who don’t blame society or whites for their failures and use them as leaning experiences to become successful, respected men in their communities who are liked by all?
So especially thank you grandmas you make a huge difference.

You can actually say “God” here and no one will be offended. I think. You don’t need to leave out the “o” :>}
