Amen!Nobody is claiming racism doesn't exist. I've experienced racism and bigotry in my life and these things will probably always exist to a degree as it's an ugly part of human nature. However, in 21st century America nobody is being held back by their race. That's bullshit propaganda from far left extremists, race hustlers, and the professional victim crowd who would rather blame everyone else for their failures as opposed to taking responsibility for and learning from them.
I‘ve said the same thing, and blacktivists like IM2 have screamed racist at me, and referred to me in the third person as racist, etc., etc. for simply pointing out Blacks today are responsible for their own outcomes.

2) No out-of-wedlock babies
3) Pell Grant to get free vocational training
