Negative Roxbury

Iseut proclaims herself tired of all the negativity from other Roxbury residents:

I am hurt after I read the
I am hurt after I read the statement many times and still do not understand what the hell she is saying. That inane crap says much about the real problems in Roxbury, a lack of people who are educated or who even try to get educated. Ironically, there is a community college named after that town that is a cesspool of corruption and mismanagement. Plenty of poor people like the immigrant Irish and Jews lived in Roxbury. They understood that the way out of poverty is to educate their kids.
Education didn't save
Education didn't save Germany from itself in '39. Germany had an incredibly well-educated population but Germans were bruised by the very harsh reparations of WWI. Education is not a panacea. Some of the most ignorant people I've ever met are professors at prestigious colleges.
Roxbury's problems are social and economic but my original point was that some of the leaders in the neighborhood need to stop asking what the world can do for them and start building the world they want. The negativity among certain community leaders is utterly self-defeating.
You are hurt because you can't string 2 sentences together coherently, anon.
