In that white people have advantages that black/latin people don't?

Yeah, but it's both a huge generalization and an over simplification of race in America at least.

Something along this line. You probably shouldn't look over at your neighbor from the the same building or street and complain about privileges when they're on the same sinking boat.

Exactly this.

The other day I saw a black dude I went to high school with and used to hang out with repost a meme that showed a white guy and black guy at the starting line of a footrace. The white guy had two easy obstacles on the track and the black dude had saw blades and other brutal shit in his path. I just thought what a load of garbage. I went to the same school as this guy, had the same classes, played on the same baseball team and the dude came from a family that did well enough. So to me it was complete and utter nonsense. The guy had every opportunity I had but is basically blaming his shortcomings on simply being black. Naw bro, its because you had a kid when you were 19 with some cheating bimbo that left you. Own up to your shitty decisions. Its nobody's fault but your own
