Prompt: the floor of a white man's failures is the ceiling of the black man's expectations
In society's views, white people pare generally more wealthy than the people who are considered a minority. Therefore, they can afford more. what a white person considers "average" or a "necessity" can be seen as a privilege or extraneous in the eyes of others. There are more opportunites in this society for white Americans than there are for African American people and other minorities. The "floor" can symbolize the basic needs and wants of white people; however, this "floor" can be seen as a luxury for minorities. Wealthier people expect more out of their lives because they have the influence to make their desires and expectations a reality. Other people, minorities, generally do not have that kind of influence and have more difficulty making their desires and expectations a reality. Racism still exists in the world and people are always judged by their appearance. This is why there is such a big gap between different economic classes. Wealthier people are able to attain what they desire. Sometimes, though, those who are considered a minority are able to achieve their wants but they usually have to put in more effort and it will not come as easily.
