Reality, folks don't want to face the truth.
A. You don't get many good jobs without education, you don't
finish school your odds for success are very poor.
B. Typical small town white America is like living in Nazi Germany, you don't move without the local police knowing what is going on, the difference is that they stop you who ever you are white or otherwise. 48 Year old white male stopped and questioned for 30 minutes becasue the local police "didn't recognize me" I was required to show ID held under the search light until they were able to verify my license and the name, address and my affiliation with the person in "white smallville America" I was staying with .
C. America is still the land of opportunity, 1,000's-1,000,000's come here yearly because it is better here than there, (These are yellow, black, brown, white you name it color). If you can't make it here, you sure are going to have a much tougher time elsewhere.
D. There are bad guys of all stripes, the world isn't perfect, some times you get the wrong guys. However if you want to deminsh your chances of getting snagged, don't dress, talk, walk and act like a gangbanger, maybe folks won't think you are one then. We are only human and don't have some 5th sense that allows us to automatically distinguish.
