I respectfully disagree.
Yes there is racism in some places, yes there are inequalities in some places, but I neither contributed to or benefited from them.
My legacy? Hardly. That had absolutely nothing to do with me getting where I am. I earned every single bit of what I have. I started with absolutely nothing except a minimum wage job pumping gas. I worked hard, I paid my dues, I kept my mouth shut and took orders, I paid for my schooling.
I had the same challenges, the only difference is I didn't have the same excuses. Maybe if i had a built-in excuse I wouldn't have tried so hard.
