I agree, only pussies use the race card to justify their shortcomings and failure to succeed. I usually only hear washed up bums use that as an excuse though. I've never heard any of the men in my family use that excuse, but then again, they're all successful. Come to think of it, I've never met a black guy who's used that as an excuse. And I only grew up around black people until like 7th grade. So idk, maybe you need to meet more professional black people.
WHo knows what Africa would be like. Maybe if they weren't always being invaded by European countries, there wouldn't be so much turmoil. But eh, it''d probably be the same. Boiled down, it doesn't matter bc we're here. We were brought here against our will, enslaved for 300 years, then after slavery, had to fight for basic human rights for another 100 years. All the while being degraded mentally, and physically. It bred an awful culture in the black community, and I smh at some of my peers when they taunt another one of my peers for being dark skinned. Post slavery also started the cycle of poverty in inner cities, and don't even get me started on the crack epidemic in inner cities during the 80s. I didn't say it wasn't beautiful, but the propaganda was that dark skinned couldn't be beautiful too.
