No one is mad they dont walk around looking like lebron james b, people are mad because when they walk into interviews and they dont look the part because of skin color they dont get the job, people are mad because they get pulled over for being black, people are mad because they get unjustly followed around stores, people are mad because inner city schools dont get the same funding for education rich towns do. Just because it hasn't happened to you( which it probably has but because you have the mindset of ben carson you probably wont notice) doesnt mean it dont happen to other people. Nobody is asking for hand outs we just asking to be treated the same when we walk through that door for necessities we need ie: Jobs, Education, shopping for items needed to live, etc. if you cant understand that and sympathize with that you are truly lost b.No one is knocking what makes you happy, we're knocking using anecdotal evidence to argue against macro trends, especially when that experience is so narrow.
da entire US Dominican population is "anecdotal"..i dont see how u cant use successful stories of many minorities and use da model to upscale that.
da response i always hear from folks who wanna perpetual "systematic/structural" meme is "well not everyone can so we gotta make da system overcompensate...etc.." and thats where folks lose it & go off da rails..
life isn't fair...life is what u make of it.
if i walked about all day mad i didn't have da physique of lebron James and getting Alex Rodriguez checks if be bitter as eff.
that systemic rhetoric breeds disenchantment & disenfranchisement. aspirational words tend to go ALOT farther.
like i said, i aint waiting around for people to like me or not, im makin ish happen.
ya wanna dwell on da past? ya wanna dwell on who don't like ya? seems like alot of wasted energy that could be better served by maximizing your own movement & potential.
u can't make some one "like u".
reminds me of obese people using da crutches of "fat acceptance movement" to keep living da status quo instead of working on becoming physical works of art.
