Is the American Dream true

I do believe there is more opportunity in America than most other countries. If one is willing to work hard they can become wealthy. However there is an advantage if you have wealthy parents, or have connections with people in high places. Some people that are born blind or with down syndrome are at a disadvantage to no falt of their own. Genetics also plays a role in one's potential success.

The two events were similar in many ways. In both cases discrimination was used in a high school setting. In the Central High School incident there seemed to be a larger protest with the feds more involved. The lives of the nine black kids were in danger of the white mob. The nooses in the newer story seemed wrong, to me it seemed to be to harsh to be a joke. It puts a fearful memory in many people.
