At my last high school (Junior and Senior year) the school was 80% black. Like every school we had the dopers, the jocks, the nerds, & geeks and the dropout "cool" kids. There was one of my friends that was black. He said all his friends kept bullying him because he wanted to get an education, and was not into drugs, or just hanging out. He was busy studying. He made straight As. He said his neighborhood and all his brothers and two sisters were just learning how to get on welfare ASAP and called him names because he wanted to go to college and get an education.
So yea, he had a tough time with his own family and friends accepting he wanted to work at getting ahead in life and not just live in the projects and on welfare.
