Completely untrue. Kids in Westchester County have infininitely more opportunities than kids in Jamaica Queens.

If you take a set of black twins born into poverty, they are both given the exact same education, one decides to make something of his life and finish school, either go to college or start a business right out of highschool, move out of the "ghetto" and start a family. The other twin decides thats not for him, he decides to drop out of school, start selling drugs, robbing the local 7 11, and join a gang. Please will explain to me how two people with the same opportunities in life can have such different outcomes...I know it's hard for you to believe but people really are capable of making their own destinies wheter it's good or bad

Sure. But if you take a set of black twins, leave one in poverty and put one in an upper-class environment, the path to college/better life is exponentially easier.
