My town and yours is probably run over by Chinese restaurants, Patel-owned motels, Korean groceries, and ethnic establishments - most run by first generation immigrants. These people have worked hard, supported one another with advice, loans, and patronage, and live the American dream.
Some others think the dream is a winning lottery ticket, thug culture and music, sperm-donating absent daddies, and a welfare check.
In other words, the successful groups are relying on themselves.
The unsuccessful think someone else, and more of someone else's money, and some more legislation, and slogans, are the only path to success.
To summarize: DO IT YOURSELF.
