I agreed with the first part of what you said but,



this doesn't have a goddamned thing to do with it and if it does, maybe YOU should focus more on what the "so-called" leaders are SAYING and where they get their impressions from. The need for the statements like "I am somebody" come from the need to instill SOME kind of esteem in a bunch of young people who were born into a system and society that is F-ed up toward them through no fault of their own. Address THAT and don't worry about the flaws of the men behind the message.

Also, to assume that just because someone calls himself a leader does not make them so. They are SELF PROCLAIMED. If YOU want to make them out to be, that's you, but don't impose your sense of who is and who is not a leader onto folks you know NOTHING about.

Why is it ok for you to agree with a statement that is against single parents, but once culture or whatever is brought up it has nothing to do with things? I know many people who grew up without a father who are incredibly smart while their mothers were struggling to get by.

Maybe that has something to do with it in some ways, but not all.

And starang, don't you think it's kind of racist to say that Asians are all smarter and it's not because they study harder? I guess since we're not Asian we are just naturally not as smart, right?
