Random Thought: Black people can't keep playing the race card to cover up for the lack of success they are having in there lives. They need to pull themselves up by their boot straps.
The funny thing about this is that I actually agree. It primarily the responsibility of ANY individual to make sure that they are progressing in the right direction with there life. The ought to arm themselves with the knowledge necessary to be competent in the personal and professional endeavors.
However, to say that it will speak for itself is to walk in willful ignorance of history. The challenge that I have with person saying that is, " Are willing to admit that at one point in time there was an OVERT effort to stifle the economic growth of the African-american? As well is there still an unconscious discrimination that takes place when you see the brown colored counterpart?"
The end of my thought is simply this. In the light of BlackLivesMatter movement, we need not become overly defensive when people begin to champion their experiences. Rather we should walk in civility and confirm the experience. The fact is there has been a significant difference between whites and black and gap continues to grow in many ways and in many different directions.
Maybe we shouldn't focus on if the person telling us the problem is telling the truth but rather turn our attention in making our world better for each other.
