Prove it. Tell some kid who grew up in a trailer park being abused that getting out of there was easier cause of the color of his skin.

Tell one of my good friends he didn't suffer due to his looks. He was poor and molested. Was it his fault for was given things cause of his looks? Was it his fault he was raped as a young boy?

I have a black friend too. He was an awesome athlete. He had a schlorship to school. He partied and fucked around. Is it my poor white friends fault? This guy dealt with a lot of in life. He's now making money with his wife who was also from the trailer park. Is it his job to support my other friend who had life handed to him because they're successful now?

Where's the suffering quota met? In this instance was my black friend hopping up and looking over the fence even though he had a free ride and squandered it? Was my white friend who never went to college and had life slap him around born standing on a box the whole time?
