@halea41

Asian Americans don't "always" make it you ignorant prick. And living in poverty ain't easy.

Don't generalize Asian American experiences. They don't always have "good families", and poverty is a killer. Go to my friend's grave and tell him that. Go to my friend in prison and tell him that. Just cause YOU lived a life of privilege doesn't mean they did.

Dumb pricks like you make me sick.

Are you proud of "Oakland culture"? My friend's uncle got killed there, over a 5 dollars. That place is untouchable. Oakland culture is not black culture. Don't offend black culture by comparing it to that nightmare of a city.
