Why do so many African Americans blame their problems on white people?

Every single American has the exact same privileges and opportunities to succeed whether you were born in the ghetto or in an upperclass neighborhood you're able to get education after high school. Is "white privilege" just an excuse that's used by unsuccessful, un motivated and under educated African Americans who have only a bad attitude keeping them down?

This is a typical way of thinking. You have to quit playing the blame game and change your perspective. It hasn't even been 100 years since African Americans were nothing more than a white man's property. Dig into their history. See how many lives were made harder or taken away for nothing more than the color of their skin. White privilege is real. You can't be so insensitive on such a matter. Try walking in someone else's shoes.
