Which is business and all, but we as Black folks have to know when we're reading stuff that doesn't apply to us, and too many of us don't. Even still, I think it's worth analyzing how racism shows up even in such seemingly innocent "inspirational" pieces as this. Also, it's kinda weird that you said my quoting it is silly, but didn't think it was silly to post it, but whatever.

All very true. I usually get alotta push-back on here for pointing those very things out, so I'm kinda in shock right now lol.



>But there are a disproportionate amount of failures as well.


That's true too. All white folks don't succeed at everything, but they just collectively have more money than we do in general, can afford to fail multiple times, and tend to be closely related to wealth if they aren't wealthy themselves, while Black folks tend not to even be related to any. I don't think I'm teaching you anything there, I just wanna make sure it remains stated, because failure doesn't mean the same for white folks that it means for Black folks.
