I agree that a level of systemic racism exists in this country. That said, at the end of the day most of us own our own circumstances. Many of us end up where we are for no other reason than the choices we decided to make, good or bad. It's easy to blame society for the ills of others, but ultimately it's up to each individual to change their life. My life was anything but easy when I was younger and there were many times I wanted to sit back and accept failure or mediocrity by pointing the finger at someone else, but I pushed through the hardships and succeeded. If you want to get out of your situation then own it.
