Kanye West says in one of his songs, "White people, get money and don't spend it...I'd rather buy 80 gold chains and act ignorant...Master P's dream of no limit was just a fig-ment of our immagination..."
These verses remind me of the the rhetoric about the sky is the limit, whereas, there still remains glass ceilings for the masses of black males. This is why so many live for the moment, as Kanye suggests, as oppossed to planning for an unpromised future.
The stealth of institutional racism is real. No one is going to say, "Hey, you, with the big lips and nappy hair. I'm not hiring you because I'm a racist." It is all done with biased laws, rules, policies, and procedures to form a racial caste system where the true culprit is hidden and the discrimination appears justifiable. For these, and many more reasons, it feels for many that "the floor of the white man's failures is the ceiling of the black man's expectations."
