After watching this story it reminds me most of how things are beginning to be like right now in Charlotte along with everywhere else in the United States. I think that Charlotte is most likely going to be most similar to this story in ten years than any of the others. privilege

This would be ideal if Charlotte came to this. Everyone living in an environment where everything was near 'perfect'. Charlotte would be at its greatest. But by how things look now, unfortunately, i don't think this would happen by 2015.

It would be great if this is how Charlotte will turn out to be by 2010. But unfortunately the economy would have to change dramatically. It is something that we could all strive for and possibly things could be a little better around Charlotte economically before 2010.

Wow. If we all work together, everything will work out in the end. It would be nice if that were true but it's wishful thinking. And the Olympics? Probably not.

Parents should be more involved in their child’s lives, therefore there will not be many secrets that is withheld, so the child won’t feel hurt that they have to keep it held... read more

Equal Education should be offered no matter the race. I do not feel that the main reason the mother is making her son leave the school is fully because of race, although she was rude to her worker I feel as though there were times when the worker saw that she was working and could have moved on to another spot in the building. Also some people are so rude they would not have wanted the lady to... read more

Although the jobs have increased I still find it very unfar that the reacial line is continuing to separate not only the job market but Charlotte as a city. I feel that we as Americans can better this city rather than having opportunites for the majority. Although I liked the increase in the minoriy in the school system, this means that there can possibly be a major change ahead. For if the... read more
