Re: Interesting response on the enquirer article

In my opinion Mr Cox is on opposite sides from other prominent African  
Americans in his thoughts on who should attend UC. Oscar Robinson and others  have 
always been opposed to new rules that make it more difficult for African  
American kids from poor backgrounds to go to college and have a  chance to better 
themselves. UC by scholarships has given that chance to  many and there is a 
long list out there of successful people who weren't all  that prepared to go 
to college but UC gave them a chance and they made the most  of it. Sure there 
were some that didn't make it but way more did than didn't. Mr  Cox doesn't 
want the poor under educated kid from a bad background to have  a chance to go 
to UC anymore. He only wants the best and the brightest.  Sometimes people who 
have struggled and worked hard all their life and have got  to the top don't 
want to revisit their past. They just want to mingle with other  top people and 
forget about the ones who are still struggling and working hard  to have 
something. Is Mr Cox one of these? Don
