I don't give people a pass because of their skin color but yeah, I think if you were born poor, your parents were poor, you started out from SHIT circumstances...I think you have a harder time making a success of your life. Not easy going from dirt poor to graduating from a respected 4 year college. Common sense.
The economic stability of a family is a reflection of education. People don't get that. Education isn't just about learning, it is also about motivation and following through.
I come from poverty. It is more difficult but hardly impossible. If the excuses stop, there isn't an excuse. That is a hard truth. If someone wants an education in this country, it is pretty easy to attain. It just takes some effot.
