Perfect example of why America stays losing.  We can’t even read.  Let me give you some life changing advice that my big sis gave me when I was a little f*cker.  Reading makes you smart.  I got sh*tty grades throughout my life.  But I always read books in between getting lit and listening to rap music.  Sometimes you have to take responsibility of your own education.  According to CBS Detroit:
