I agree with you on this it was one of my points…
That was after they started their shait with me … If you look. If you want to engage in a discussion we are find … These Aholes think I am going to be their biatch… Lay down and take it. They got another thing coming … I enjoy good conversations…
Oh please I am going to cry … No loss, can’t teach and old dog new tricks … They just don’t want to learn…
If you actually read what I wrote this was my point…
The answer to your question may be two-fold:
- Hard to come face to face with a BOT!
(and that could splinter to a ‘foreign agent’ or 'Domestic Sh!t-Stirrer - IF REAL (live human) they are Generally CHICKEN’S and would NEVER show
Typically they are ’ cut and paste ’ GEEKS who THINK they are smarter than the average Bear (usually they are not sadly).

I see that as the way you are brought up by your parents and family. There is opportunity for everyone that is willing to work for it. It still may not lead to a high level of earnings or status but it will lead to a better life. Institutional racism doesn’t mean a lot to me because I grew up surrounded by black people. My family had no more or less than they did. I went to the same schools they did. Went to the same stores they did. I started working summer jobs at the age of 12, anything from cutting yards, washing dishes at a restaurant, to being a helper on construction crews. By the time I was 19 yeas old I made more money a week than my mom did and she had been working for a long time. My mother taught me, made me, and supported me any way she could to want a better life than what she could provide. One of my best friends in Tech School was black. He came from a lot better situation in life than I did and we both did pretty well in life. His parents did the same as my mother. My saying is "If you’ve got nothing, there is only one way to go, “UP”! It is not the opportunity that they don’t have, it is the will to do better than those before you. To me that is something that your family should teach you beginning at an early age.

Do you feel that you were one of the lucky ones from that neighborhood? You probably did better than most. You had good parents. But you have to admit that “opportunities” are not equal. In another thread here last month, someone was talking about Clarance Thomas couldn’t get a job after graduating from one of the top law schools in the country. Sure, her persevered, and his experience is reflected in his opinions. If your on the bottom rung of the ladder and everytime you try to do the right thing and get a step up, you get pushed back down, sometimes people give up and decide to make money another way.
I guess another way to say it is, that I’m sure you feel that your success was because of your effort and you earned it. But there are people that tried just as hard as you and didn’t succeed. Did they earn their failure?

I did do better than most but many made it out and supported themselves well. In fact several of them became sheriffs deputies before I lost track of them. Then there were the ones that didn’t have good families and were some of my close group of friends. One died long ago due to a drug overdose, another has been in prison since he was 19, for rape and murder, and many many others have been in jail for robbery and drug dealing. I’m sure there are several others that I knew at the time that didn’t make it even though they tried. But, life gives you a lot of hard knocks and if you want to make it the best you can, you have to get up and keep trying. It’s not guaranteed but it is better than the alternative and I have seen the alternative both in my extended family and several of my old friends.
