The accusation of "ongoing racism" for the failure of so many currently in the system falls apart when you note how many people have made it (and are making) it on the same or less.
Many of those listed above came from environments even worse than those today are encountering.
It is a shame that all you have to do is cry "Racist!" to no longer have to live up to personal responsibility.

So black people, uniquely, have a problem with personal responsibility?
