Well, I'll be going to the newsstand today
I got particular bugs up my whoopsidaisy; I guess it can be summed up as actively providing rational support and removing irrational obstacles. Education rates among the primary areas that need this approach.
Education is always a big thing to Black folks. Going back to Jim Crow days there was one of those things, almost a jingle, everyone knew:
a figger's a figger
All for the white man
None for the nigger
Really kind of strange
Not really funny
But when you can't count
You never have money
Before I get too side-tracked, let me link to this week's U.S. News and World Report's special issue on Unequal Education It's the reason I'm going to the newsstand (that and the hope that JLA/Avengers #4 is around). It's online, but it's something I'm going to want to absorb thoroughly—dead trees are still the way to go in such a case.
