You don't want to acknowledge that institutional racism, if it exists, has less of an impact on a black person that actually cares about making their life better. You can only blame the system up to a certain point. After that, personal responsibility should kick in.
It's easy to blame the system. It's hard to actually take responsibility for your own actions and actually do something with your life.
