thats the only level of oppression there is. the opportunities you have to make good. but every american has opportunity. no one is forced to do anything.
you did what you had to do to create a better life for yourself, and now your kid will have a better life than you did.
why is that a bad thing?

neither one of us ever faced what a minority in this country faces, especially black and hispanic ones. i'm sorry you can't seem to understand that.
it's not a bad thing that i've been successful. but i know if i'd had the wrong color skin i would absolutely not have had some of the opportunities i did.
period.
