The bigger problem to me is just the number of blacks who think they're going to make it big w/ music, or sports, or some other get rich quick plan  , and don't see ANY college educaiton as needed.

Exactly. The sad thing is that still too many of our kids don't really have a shot at a college education or a professional career. I especially hate it when as you say, too many of us believe in a get-rich-quick plan instead of pursuing education.
Education is so important. The economy's changed and the blue-collar jobs that my father and his generation could easily get are no longer as plentiful.
