I lived in my car for 8 months this year. When I didn't have a job I was at the public library everyday reading about and writing code. I applied for every job I could anywhere in the country. Eventually it paid off and I got a job. Playing the race card on why life is hard is a cop out. You have to put effort into this. You cannot huff and puff your way into it. This site is filled with people posting blogs and sites that contain free tutorials. |

What a shitty, thoughtless thing to say. Life is significantly harder for african americans. That's a fact; dismissing experiences is an ignorant thing to do.
I'm pretty sure he knows he needs to keep on trucking in spite of that, or he wouldn't be posting here. But being african american has and will cost him several "well, let's give this kid a chance" foot-in-the-doors that white guys experience pretty frequently (like me).
