I get so sick of this excuse. I grew up in the projects around dudes that chose to sell dope, rob, steal and kill rather than going to school and trying to get out of there. Hell half of my cousins are locked up for the same shit and we all had the same upbringing. Are there innocent people locked up? Sure, maybe 1 out of every 10,000. The MAN isnt making you sell dope, the MAN isnt making you rob and the MAN isnt making you kill.
We all had the same opportunities and they ended up there because they made stupid ass decisions. The best way to avoid the "system" is to not give them a reason to put you IN it. They arent just going to lock me up because im black. But if i'm black and do some dumb shit, theyll gladly put me there before a white man. But I KNOW THIS and thus avoid doing dumb shit. All the racism in the world doesnt make any black man become a criminal. Most niggas do it because they think its easy to do and dont want to get out and work for what they want.. nor do they take their education seriously. THATS why they're in there. And it's really hard to sympathize.
I like the cut of your jib sir.
