[QUOTE="Catatonic, post: 2701005, member: 7966"] People can pull themselves up through their efforts. There are many things one can't imagine until they experience them. You mean like my mother who was born blind in a clapboard house with no electricity or running water? Neither her mother nor father could read. She worked hard and got a scholarship to the Alabama School for the Blind. My father was blind too. I observed how my parents and even me were denigrated, shunned and even cursed at. Being born Black or Blind in America has it's challenges. I can't begin to tell you all the bigoted and ignorant things said to me in relation to my achievements in spite of having Blind parents.
