I agree, FX. There are far too many people in the ghettos nowadays who have fallen victim to "acceptance". I have given lectures on this at my former high school many times.
Many Blacks stay in poor nieghborhoods simply because their minds tell them that this is the way (and place) that Blacks are supposed to live in. That's what I mean by acceptance.
