My Dad used to tell me that all the time but I think it came in the form of "nobody owes you a living".
Unfortunately, a majority of Black Americans don't have Dads to tell them that which is probably a big part of the problem.
It’s even worse than that: Their single mothers on welfare send them the exact opposite message through their words and actions.
Reminds me of this article about self-esteem among black teenagers....
