Are you aware that many of the 0.1% are liberal Democrats who hate Trump? Are you aware that in this country you get 13 years of education for free? if you are in a lower income bracket, you likely can get your college paid for...
This country provides unlimited opportunity for those of ANY race or gender. Sure, there are always a$$holes that will hate you for who you are, but get over it and move on. This is what Ben Carson (raised by an illiterate single mom who made him go to the library to read) and Herman Cain (raised by a chauffeur, who told his son to be the very best at whatever he decided to do) did. For those who believe this, work hard for their education, join the workforce with a good attitude, and get up when they get knocked down, they have a much better chance at success.
Additionally, it's a team sport - the person's parents have to be engaged, push the kid to succeed, and the kid has to 'want it'.
For those crybaby's who ***** about income inequality, ***** about Trump and evil Republicans, and look for the Democrats for social justice and salvation - how has this worked out for them? The Dems don't give two 17's about lower income people - they view them as a vote every 2-4 years. I feel sorry for those who have not figured it out yet.
It's like football. Get up early every morning, get your *** in the weight room, bust your butt for the coaches, and improve yourself. If God has given you talent, you will become a contributor. If God did not, then find something to work hard at that will get you ahead in life. This is what Herschel Walker did.
It's really pretty damned simple.
By the way, all of the examples of successful African Americans that I listed above are called "Uncle Toms" by the Democratic followers. I wonder why....
