[quote=Anonymous]As someone born to addict parents and orphaned by the age of 17, and of mixed race I had to claw my way to anything I have today. I still have no support system other than my DH and my inlaws.  I was in and out of CPS and bounced all over the place. I have very little tolerance for excuses. Priveledge is being born in the US. If I can make it, anyone can if they just stop blaming and take control of their destiny. There are so many services out there, so many helpers, so many resources, but people dont want to do the hard work. Yes, the vast majority of the poor and down trodden are where they are because they made a lot of stupid choices that lead to stupid results and even worse they do it again and again and again.

I could have easily failed to launch and have excuses for days. Oh my mom was a prostitute, therefore my shortcomings are her fault. My dad bailed out on his family and ended up shot dead due to the people he ran with, is white suppression that ultimately killed him. I could pull the race card, the drug card, the homeless card, the abuse card,  the woman card and I can blame priviledge and get bonus points for white privilege....none of that helps me get ahead and the chorus of bleeding hearts that would hump to validate my blame do me no good.[/quote]
