I'm black and I have never encountered direct racism in my life. In many of the jobs I have landed in my life, including the great job I have now, I was chosen over white people that also interviewed Job.
The main thing holding most black people back, is their own attitudes, outlook on life, and our toxic culture. Racism holds us back, but not very much to be honest.
If you have ambition, are intelligent, and carry yourself in a good manner it is very very easy to be successful in this country no matter what color you are.
Also I will never hate anyone, for hating me because of my skin color. They are free to feel how they want to feel. As long as you don't harm me physically believe what you want believe. Just know that I will not have any hates towards you because no matter what color your skin is you are just as much connected as human being to me as any person of any race.
I feel no special connection with ANYONE because of skin color, I feel a connection because we are both human period.
Always remember that the main thing holding you back is life, is YOU. Realize that, and you will see the sky is the limit for you.
