It's often a matter of money - both in aquiring an education and then afterwards. Does no use to sacrifice to get a degree and then find that, because of the color of your skin, you can't get a job in the field -- and if you do, the whites around you mutter about "Affirmative Action". Rightwads claim that there is no racial bias anymore, but if that were true there would have been far more than 1% in your class. >The commonality between all blacks that I know that are successful in >engineering and science is that they act like Republicans and reject >black identity culture. In essence, to succeed in the White Man's World, you have to become a White Man. The Indians noticed that too - and some famous Indians basically had dual personas: one for living on the reservation, and another when out in the White Man's World.
