Not saying they don't have a chance but come on now the cards are stacked against them.
there is no level playing feild. For anyone.
No matter what your race. Unless your born into money. Or get VERY lucky.
Its an uphill battle with people and life rolling big boulders down upon you all the way up.
I see alot of people of all races who make it. and alot of people from all races who dont.
And alot who never even try. Who bring themselves down. or hold themselves down.
I see very few instances of one group holding another down anymore.
But there will always be people who try no matter what and for varying reasons.
From race, to they dont like your style of haircut.
That life. Life is unfair.
Like I told both my kids and my daughter a couple of weeks ago when she claimed something "wasnt fair."
"Get used to it. Life is often anything but fair. the difference is in how you deal with it. You can lay down and quit. or you can get up and try again. and again, and again untill you succeed."
But I dont beleive in coddling kids from the unpleasentries of life in the world. I do thm no favors by doing so. And in fact view such a thing as being irresponcable as they are one day going to have to actually survive and thrive or wither in it all on their own without me there to protect them
