point I was trying to make with this is, most of the time you have only yourself to blame. No matter what you think anyone has done to you.
Both you and wavelength make valid points. The man in the video spoke general truths, however, he erred in applying races to the mentality. I can tell you there are many who share the mentality of the victim in ALL races, and nationalities, ...and there are those who share the mentality of being captains of their own ship, that likewise cuts across ALL races, and nationalities.
We ALL have obstacles and challenges to overcome. some have different obstacles and challenges than others,
...but we all have them. The question is, ...are we going to use those obstacles and challenges as excuses, and allow them to keep us from realizing our goals and dreams, ...or, ...are we going to use those obstacles & challenges, as stepping stones, ...as motivators to push us onwards? Success in life is a choice we make.
