Are any people in America actually oppressed?

Education costs money, which people who are poor due to lack of education quite obviously don't have.

To be qualified for certain jobs sure. But going to a library and googling stuff on a computer is free. I've learned more about history through the internet then I ever did in school.

I don't recall jews crying over WWII or complaining that they're oppressed despite being enslaved and starved and killed. Slaves recieved better treatment in the 1860's than the jews did.

that's not really related to what i'm saying. generations of systematic oppression by guaranteeing minorities can't get a quality education or living will leave lasting effects on those populations, and those effects are literally a direct result of their previous oppression. even if that oppression no longer technically exists, there are lasting consequences that don't just disappear immediately.

i don't really see the point of a holocaust comparison here either, it doesn't de-legitimize the problems that black people faced in and after slavery in america (also i guess worth mentioning that black people obviously faced problems of oppression long after slavery was abolished, and i'm referring to those times as well)

I pay rent, insurance, taxes, credit card payments, food, and utilities.  I do not live with family, I paid off my car, and I am preparing to make payments on student loans.  I work full-time and I drive myself hard.  I've taken special care to make sure that I am not in debt when I can prevent it.

It's easy to assume things about someone's character when you don't know anything about their lifestyle and the responsibilities they bear.  So yes, I am responsible for my own well-being.

My qualm was with those who chose not to be smart early on.  I knew since I was very young that saving money would be important, and I saved up $3,000 since I was little by the time I was 18.  I had insurance to pay on my first car, and had to pay that off, and when it ceased working I had to get to school by bus, which was a 2 hour trip each way.  And now I saved up and bought my next car in full.  You just gotta work, scrape, and save.  In my experience, which I acknowledge is extremely limited, it was only frivolous spending that accumulated debts and struggle.

Honestly, you cant expect everyone to be held to the same expectations as you. Not all people are born with the same skills, intelligence level, etc & not everyone has the same parents or environment. If that's something you got to learn at a young age, thats a blessing.

Perhaps circumstances aided me, however, the thing that was instrumental was that I recognized the need to be frugal from an early age and that I would need money when I was older.  My parents told me that it was smart, but it was my own will that carried me, not the power that their words held because when I was a kid, I was the disobedient one.  In fact, it was my parents who threw me out and left me to fend to myself.

I get it that some people aren't as gifted, and perhaps not smart, but I beg to differ when people say it's impossible, because as long as long as you have the willpower to drive yourself, you can accomplish anything.  Sure, it may be a bitter fight, but you can deal the greatest blow to those who doubted your worth by coming out successful.  I believe that you can, jitank.
