Many (not all) African Americans suffer considerably from poverty, mortality, joblessness, and a spectrum of other dynamics that seemingly holds back the race as a whole. Some manage to maneuver around obstacle and join the middle- and upper-class, though, apparently, these are a minority. Countless debilitating issues remain prevalent among the rest of the race. Though, individually, no one person is responsible, as it is a societal issue and what affects one, affects all.
What is your position?
Do you believe that, beyond principle, circumstantially individuals are responsible for their own fates, much like the minority that has managed to rise above?
Or do you feel that principle exceeds circumstance and, alone, individuals are too insignificant to undue or surmount a history of underprivilege, regardless of constantly evolving eras.
