That "black kid who was born in East LA" probably thinks that way because of his "poor education" and may have been told that he will be forever labeled, however, Talesin what about all of the other black individuals who have overcome all different kinds of adversity that they may have been born into and made success of their lives?
"all the other black individuals"
Yeah, spoken like a true, privileged white person. lol, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but hell, you have NO CONCEPT in your mind, of what it's like to grow up in that situation. Go and volunteer for a few years - but wait, that would surely not be YOUR path, and I would be very surprised if you said you did. Live in poverty for a while ... I'm sure your tune would change.
