The biggest affliction of black Americans is learned helplessness. When immigrants from black nations come here and thrive, it disproves the narrative that this is a racist nation.

ItтАЩs also about choices and values. My good friend down the street grew up in Brooklyn, studied hard, worked hard, became an engineer who has traveled the world for work, owns investment properties as additional revenue streams, and is doing a stellar job of raising two daughters as a single father. The oldest is a straight-A student who is just entering high school but already has a couple of years studying Mandarin under her belt. In what way has the field not been leveled here?
