For the record I don't feel any guilt nor do I feel I owe the black race anything. They are as responsible for their personal destiny as I am. Any of us can choose to live below the poverty line and blame something or somebody for our despair and the government will send us a check once a month. At the end of the day this is still the United States of America and anyone can do anything they want if they put their mind, heart and soul into it. There are plenty of examples of black people rising above and reaching for the sky and to blame other races for the despair of those that refuse is racist and it takes away from the millions who have already and those still putting forth the effort. There will always be a small percentage of people that have fallen on hard times and need assistance for a short time or those that don't have the mental fortitude to make it and will be in need government assistance their entire life but the vast majority of people living below the poverty line, regardless of race, live there by choice because it's the easy way out. It's much easier waking up amid squalor and crime everyday blaming someone else while you cash that government check than it is to take responsibility and work your ass off day and night to get out of the situation your in.
