"American Dream" those words are thrown around a lot these days. :| Although I would consider everyone just as a person, I don't like to divide people into catagories, blacks do get special treatment. Colleges give grants to blacks so they can make their school equal in ratio of whites to blacks/other races basically. You know why? Because more whites go to college than blacks or other ethnicities. It's just a statistic, which i'm not pulling out of my [wagon]. My biology teacher was talking about how black males in our school have the worst grades in our school, while the black females have the best, this is overall. So it's not all about race, it's also about gender.
