Like I said in another post, my role models continue to be those AA's who are living ABOVE AVERAGE standard of living compared to all American people. And there are SEVERAL MILLION of those hard working, intelligent AA's around in 2017. I have several such colleagues at the research lab where I work. When I arrived in this country back in 1960 as a teenager, there were hardly any AA's living the American dream.

If you wish to keep whining, and complaining, that is your choice. I recommend take a clue from those AA's who are doing well regardless of real or perceived prejudices. Following the herd of failures will get you nowhere.
