As a black man I can say that the spirit of resilience, resolve, determination, and power to succeed and flourish through ALL is something that was built into the black community due to the history our ancestor has to do all these things through. As we stand today with nothing in our way to succeed but ourselves you have these dam leftist Democrats who generation by generation are wiping that out of our community by convincing so many that this ghost call "systematic racism" is the cause of every obstacle they face or that they can't do ANYTHING without the help of govt, etc. As a whole we were the people who were like this kid.
