that is fact. i posted a graph that showed that even in some cases white ppl with criminal records have a higher chance of being hired than a blk person without.
there will always be poor people of all races, that cannot be helped. I never said that white ppl cannot suffer. But it is pretty much close to fact that with a white person & a blk person in similar situations, the white person will have more chances to do something better or have more opportunities provided to them without the prejudice of their skin colour hindering said opportunities. whether they take the chance is up to them and does not disprove what i have said.
almost nothing in life can be 100% true 100% of the time, but like i said exceptions =/= disproof. not even in science are things 100% proven fact but they are still passed off as such and are taught in our schools and we live our daily lives applying those not-always-100%-true things to ourselves because 99% it works/occurs/happens. Just like when it comes to sex/gender, men will always have an advantage over women in our current patriarchal structure. does that mean no rich women exists? no poor men exists? NO. does that disprove fact that men > women in our society? NO.
what is so hard for u to understand? don't reply to me anymore, i'm done with u.

not good enough. all these "opportunities" and no facts. all this "almost" "kinda" "not always" is bull ****.
face it, you're the one posting on an online forum using a cell phone or a computer with internet connection complaining how you're opportunities were limited from birth when there are people poorer than dirt that will never see the same opportunities as you.
I get it, that racism exists and the prejudice against your skin color hinders you from certain opportunities. But in this day age, not EVERYONE is like that. There are plenty of people my age, my class, who are black and doing a hell of a lot better than me right now.
You need to just let this go and realize that not all whites are racist. If I was an employer and I was going to have to hire between a white male with credentials and a black male with credentials or below that even, I would pick based on what they can do for me. It has nothing to do with their skin color. And I'm not the only white person that thinks so acceptingly.
I'm not saying be okay with racists, I'm not saying to forget about it. But at some point you will have to accept that you can achieve something somewhere, no matter what. If it's not at the lawyers office because they racially profiled you, it's at another lawyers office somewhere else.
Stop holding this over people's heads or keep you from aiming for success. In the end, it's only going to hurt you if you hold on to this ideology.
