"Why don't Black kids go to college?"


  

          

I've been wondering this for a while....a lot of Black kids I know either don't go to college or drop out before they even finish their first year. But why? Is it really our "environment"? our "uprbringing"? Our school system? Why don't go to college in the same amounts as Whites?

Input, please.
