I meant white by white-controlled system. It is something that neither of us have any control over.

Well, do you think that the majority of "systems" that are "white controlled" are controlled with the thought of "whiteness" and how can we oppress blacks today? I am not about to state that discrimination does not occur. I am just saying it is a two way street and that we need to stop blaming others for our current plight in life and that much of the current situation is the fault of our own upbringing. I am one that believes that hard work and determination can overcome much of these lost opportunities. I see it all the time.
