Yeah, it's the mindset...
That mindset is what enslaved blacks for 400 years in America, huh? It's the mindset that disenfranchised them for another hundred years after that, or maybe it was the mindset that gave them 50x's more time for the same exact crime, or 20% less for the same amount of work..
This idea that people in America are born with equal opportunity is a total fabrication. We have racial classes as well as socioeconomic classes -as well as others- that every single one of us is grouped into at birth based on the color of our skin, where our ancestors came from and how much money our parents make. None of which by themselves are guarantees of success or failure, but all of which together can give people an extreme advantage or hold people back in abject poverty their entire lives. There are millions of poor people who work extremely hard, likewise there are millions of successful people that don't. It's not a meritocracy, it's not based on how hard you work. To say that a white male born into a wealthy family and a black female born in the ghetto have equal opportunity at success in life is ridiculous.
You know there are a bunch of dead parents that worked hard to earn a profitable income so they could live well and save for their children. I`m doing it and so are a bunch of others. To have people like you come along after a parent passes his hard life on to their kids so it would be easier for them, and cry foul yelling give me half,...I mean dude, shut the fuck up.
You really should reconsider the oppression card, Redding saw it go out with the tide in the late sixties. To say the rich white kid that moved into the ghettos of Nigeria, has a better shot at success than the girl living next door is just as ridiculous as your oppression, reaching comment. But it fits your motivation so,......
