I thank you for that compliment but no, Brendan, no, I could never see you in that light. Though, I am sure you are a good partner to someone of your own age.
I have a friend who is blue, has no possessions on her name and very much a person of the fairer sex. She seems to be doing well for herself. Life is largely about decisions and choices. I'm quite sure you could find several success stories with poor, black ladies as well. I understand that it's harder to generate traction for some people for various reasons. But her situation is hardly impossible if those are her downfalls.
I might agree with you if your example was a child who grew up on a war zone or a little baby sold into slavery. These are awful things that happen all the time in the world and yet, we still find ways to be good to each other. It doesn't take much, just a smile might change someone's life. Just a kind word might give them something to go on for another day.
A person should not be judged based on what the world has made them do. No one should be judged by their skin colour, their race, their heritage, or their social status and fortune. The change in the society starts from us, not from sinking further into victimisation of ourselves. It takes a lot of strength of character to change the circumstances that you are in, but it is not impossible. And I choose to believe that people are both capable and willing to do that.
