CUNY's Black Male Initiative Is Probed

Submitted by B. Ling, Feb 6, 2008 11:22

A majority of people are struggling and they need someone to blame. What better choice than a group of people who seem like they're getting benefits because of their race. I wish we would go after those who are causing the real problems, companies who invested in foreign countries, left the USA and drove up inflation. Think about it. Why are you not working or why is it hard to find a job. Talk to Walmart, Hanes any top 10 company and see their business practices. Please put the blame where the blame is. Invest back in the USA and some of her problems will take care of themselves. Prejudice hopefully is one of them. As far as CUNY is concerned, change the wording of your program. Check out Gratz v. Bollinger (Univ. of Michigan).
