I think that the problem is that people think that everybody in the hood is broke and on welfare. Some people get good money, and good jobs, but choose to stay in the hood because that was where they were raised and that's where their family is. IMO those people get a lot more criticism than they should, because they did all that work to make themselves better off but they stay in the hood, but they are the people who motivate the younger kids to do better for themselves because they deserve better.
Come to think of it, isn't accordatlguy (i'm not sure if he post on han much) a well-to-do conservative guy that lives in the projects?
