Step outside your mental slavery and see the WORLD for what it is...
Do you figure that because we have an Oprah, rappers with money we "made it"...YOU ARE DELUSIONAL. Over 400 years of being underdogs and you think that 1 year or even 10 years would begin to reverse the debilitating effects...

I'm not delusional, and I don't think you have it made. But this is not colonial America, or even pre-affirmative action America. You have oppertunities IF YOU WANT TO MAKE THEM FOR YOURSELF. Those of you who are on this board are mostly college educated or in process. YOU MADE YOUR OPPERTUNITY. I'm sure many of you came from families that didn't live in the best neighborhood and didn't get to go to the best schools and didn't have the money to go to college....but you still found a way to make it happen. Why do you who make it happen, let those who won't make it happen for themselves make excuses? - And I have heard those words come out of more then one black person's mouth (but because I'm white - I'm sure that makes me racist because I said it)
