    at some point you stop following and start doing....the library can change your whole environment...it changed my life...it's not the place it's what you do with it..don't be part of "most of us"....be different

    I'm about as different as they come. Expecting a million underprivileged kids to better themselves by going to the library is a stretch of epic proportions.

    The system sets them up for failure. One of my favorite lines from a song is "we never failed to fail, it was the easiest thing to do"

    That lyric is the opposite of what kids should do....you have the internet, if your family is poor, it's free at the library...I learned to prepare myself for life doing my own homework and the library is filled with kids whose mom and dad are at the bar. I don't know why you'd disregard it but dude...you make of it what you want...if you give up you don't become the next Damian Lillard from Oakland.

    Who taught you the ABC's and how to read? If Bill Gates was neglected and nobody taught him the basics do you really think the library would have helped?

    This isn't kids who are a little behind, they are like computers with no programming. You can't expect that from them.

    No Child Left Behind??????? Bullshit.

    The projects are a disgrace. Pretty damned close to concentration camps. Literally.

    HUD is scandal ridden and the source of the destruction of too many lives.

    I only have a couple of Black friends, maybe associates is the more accurate term. Anyway they tell me, they are called nigger by their friends, never by an associate.

    Black people are not oppressed here, most of you don't even know what oppression really is. Far more black people from Africa have immigrated here willingly than were brought over as slaves. Why are people trying to get into our country if it's so racist?

    Do you expect the government to build luxury resorts for low-lives that can't get their act together? They'd just trash it in a few years anyway. The government should put those people to work rather than giving them welfare.
