No, your looking at it the way a lot of ppl do, but its not true. Ever since the slaves were free, the system was put into place so that they would always be semi-slaves. It started with share-cropping, then blacks were segregated into their own areas (ghettos), then drugs were brought in, then the welfare system started, which was basically the icing on the cake, the part that finalized it all.. Blacks have and are always put into the position of having to depend on the government to live, either that or crime, which puts them in animal cages anyways and takes away their human rights.
As long as you truly believe this, you are lost, Kaendar.
It's as if you are wearing handcuffs
and hold the key at the same time. But you show with this diatribe that you don't want to use the key, because then you'd have to abandon the deliciousness of casting every last bit on an outside agency ... this shadowy composite, the Man ... and work by yourself for yourself.
I do get it. That's hard work, whereas the mooch&blame lifestyle is easy.
But this post strongly suggests that someone has, with your complicity, put the handcuffs inside your own mind.
You have every right and option to reject this corset of the will.
But you have to claim it as your own, and that means examining this modern-oppression mythos really hard and seeing the lies built into it, spiced with enough truth and truth-out-of-context to be believable. Don't let them keep you down with bars made of story!
You said something elsewhere about a jump start. OK; start. Jump.
Take your destiny. Reach for a larger future than inner-city inker. But do it in the only way that breeds pride: on your own. I'm not saying spurn all Gov't assistance, but i am saying: Make your plans include being free of it. cn
