I understand wholeheartedly what you are saying brother. However my piece is reflective of those who are using such symbols of oppression and racism to excuse their not being able to excel. Yes there is systemic oppression and discrimination and we all know that this country was and is structured for the dominance and success of whites. However, that is not what holds us back entirely. We have the ability to achieve great things but not if we allow those things to shackle our minds and impede our path to success. Indeed there are those things that are not foreseen but ultimately, I have control of my mind and my destiny....This is why its just more than a blame game.
