I am going to show up early and work really hard everyday. All look they offer to apprentice me for a trade (electrician, Plumber, Carpenter etc). 4 years later.... Oh look I make $30 to $40 an hour now. Time to start a family. 20 years later... Oh look now I can pay for my kids to go to college. Cycle broken. Or I could just sit there and say the system is against me and throw a brick through a window.
This is not communist Russia or China. People can make it out of their situations quite easily. The media is lying to you. Their the one stirring up issues that aren't real or at the very least not prevalent.
*This also applies to white people who think the system is rigged as well. In fact it applies to everyone. This is Canada/US not a third world country.
I agree the BLM and some of its supporters have blown things out of proportion. The far left has lost its mind. However, they are the fringe. Just like all the Alt Right groups are the republican fringe. The solutions to these problems are more nuanced than left and right and lie somewhere in the middle ground. Unfortunately, the extreme division in America right now makes necessary conversation next to impossible. Trump exacerbates that division, that is why he needs to be voted out of office in order for America to begin its long road to recovery.
