Yes it does comes down the individuals!...what the hell you talking about... last i checked the president of the United states is a black man from the south side of Chicago...how did he make it then?...would it possibly be he made individual choices that would affect his future?...there are many other successful African Americans from the south side too..how did they make it?... your response is a good way to point the finger away from the individual and to play the blame game that has been going on forever...well what you see now is the result
