Choices are made based on knowledge or blind luck. If you dont have the knowledge you have to depend on luck.Like with police or authorities, or in clubs, or to get a job, in school, in hospital etc. Or this is wrong?
No, but it's not as simple as that. It's harder for poor blacks because they grow up with self inflicted handicaps.
Blacks who grow up in middle and upper class families have no trouble at all and likely have advantages that whites will never have.
If youre born poor your handicaps are not self inflicted. Your condition came about as a result of systemic racism. You were born into it.
My children are I guess upper middle class and they still see racism. However, they learned from me to never let whites hold them back.
Not if you are born poor but your life doesn't have to end there. You have a lot of choices beginning as you grow up and if you choose not to take advantage then that is self inflicted.
Racism did not cause people to be poor. That is the lie you tell yourselves to keep from having to accept blame.
And for the 19th time I never mentioned race or racism. I never said that they would not experience it, I myself experience racism on an almost daily basis. Didn't stop me.
Racism caused most Blacks to be poor. There is too much evidence whites stacked the deck against Blacks financially, academically, and systematically for you to even mount a credible defense of that ridiculous statement.
If youre white you didnt experience racism. At most you experienced someone being a racist.
Racism is a system not a person.
