My girl said last night that growing up her and her brothers and sisters knew there were cultural limits of success and of what they could become. Last night blew the ceiling off those limits.
She only believed that because that is what she was brought up believing. Had her parents encouraged her, instead of feeling sorry for themselves she could have been something too. Had she realized that she could do anything she put her mind and effort into, she could have been something too. There are successful black people all over the world, but they didn't get there from saying "I can't I'm black" yet it was still possible. I am white. I do not understand why black people think like this. Can't do something because you are black? Come the fuck on!
