I can honestly say that even though we in the United States have our problems with crony capitalism, systematic racism, sexism, and poverty we are living like kings and queens compared to them Face it, look at countries like Palestine, Yemen, Iraq, (North Africa) Libya, Iraq, and Syria. Those kids duck bombs all day and families are in poverty. This is why I always reiterate the same point about opportunities. I stress this all the time. Because we (Black folk especially) might not get second and third opportunities. Remember, we are the minority in this country. Anyway, we have immigrants from these countries coming over for the "so-called" American dream. Because they can't make it in their home. Yes, our foreign policy is partially to blame and I've stressed that. However, you have to factor in the corruption of some of those countries. Also, Venezuela and Colombia is going through a crisis (Latin-America). We should be at least privileged even though there's room for improvement to be lucky to not live like them. Even though U.S. states have similar problems (Michigan "Flint", Pennsylvania "Philly", and Mississippi/Louisiana). I feel bad for those kids because they can't experience being on a smartphone or play video games like you and I have. That's why every job or etc I'm on I try to present myself as a class act.
Point is, be grateful for what you have. Because you just might lose it to someone else if you aren't careful.
My mom's also said that I have so much knowledge for a person my age I told her, "Well, I learned it from my parents and my teachers". Especially, my Italian and South African teachers in 3rd and 6th grade. Be grateful brehs and brehettes.
P.S. I didn't even talk about the issues of the Black diasporan there
This is heartbreaking
