Like anyone, black white or brown, you need to be motivated to change.

And don't take lack of motivation as laziness. Some of the least motivated people I have ever met, are also some of the hardest working when it comes to day-to-day labouring. The last thing they are is "lazy", but attitude definitely plays a roll.

Let me ask you this. If you went to a poor black neighbourhood in a place like L.A. or Chicago, and asked a group of young African American males if they wanted to go somewhere like Thompson Manitoba, Fort Nelson BC, Red Lake ON, etc..., and said hey, we'll give you a job making decent money clearing brush, but the next 40 years are going to be a sacrifice so that your children might have a chance... how many do you think would take you up on that offer (honestly)? Because that is the type of sacrifice most immigrants who move here make in order to improve their situations.

Like I said, it's not just morally repugnant, it is moronic.
