There are more opportunity for black folks now day than there has ever been due to the opportunities our ancestors have given us from the civil rights movement. The problem is, too many of US are too fuckin lazy to go out there and earn a good way of living. We want the SHORT CUT to every damn thing rather than work hard to do it..so we use this stupid excuse that this midget is on here saying. We've gotta do better! The excuses are over ya'll!
