That's all very nice but there are people, lots of people that that is impossible for. THAT is the point of protesting! Another point would be that our schools suck and that's one more reason the stupid lazy and worthless welfare recipients are doing better than working people, people putting some effort into life, people who aren't just sitting around waiting for the TV to think for them and using children for a welfare check.
My suggestion, and many people would be angry at me about this, is that instead of giving people tax cuts for having more kids, we need to be charging them higher taxes per head. I have always felt that if someone has one or two kids and is on welfare, that each additional kid they have options: They can either give it up for adoption to a couple who can properly support the child, or they can lose their welfare. Having babies is a choice with the exception of babies conceived during rape. I am absolutely against rewarding people for their ability to breed. I feel this would lead to greater responsibility with parents - the parents who aren't just looking for a welfare check are more likely to be more responsible for their kids. The big downside is that it could lead to more abortions

and I'm not trying to encourage that at all.

What we really need in our schools, all of our schools, is black history!!! We need our real history, not all the lies they teach in public schools. We need Ali, Malcolm X, the Black Panthers...... we need people who tell it like it really is and was. We need The Color Purple as a text book. We need BLACK HISTORY..... we need the truth!!
I have to be honest - while I agree with your point I feel the way you presented this is unfairly skewed. I agree that all of American history should be properly represented as it happened. You seem to be suggesting that blacks are the only people who were ever treated poorly in this country and that is just as misinformed as what is taught in schools.
We should start at the beginning, at how this country
really started with the judgement, war and near annihilation of the native americans. Then we can move on to slavery and continue on with the treatment of women, as in some cases they were slaves by another name. (of course that one goes well beyond the borders of this country and in far too many places continues today)
