Microsoft sinks millions into Urban schools each year, and Bill has yet to be implicated in any this. Yet, urban schools and test scores are pitiful. Outside handouts are NOT a SOLUTION.
What good would it do if these companies put up money? What WE NEED to do is stop playing poor ol' me, give me a reason to uplift myself and my community and ACTUALY DO IT!
I'm sorry, but no one alive to day can give an accurate first hand account of what it was like to de a slave, so how can profit as if we had done the work?
If you are born into poverty, as some point that becomes apparent to you. At that point it should NOT become apparent to you that it is someone else's fault and they should pay. Instead, it should mean that you MUST and you had BETTER work
