The winner of this race will take this, a $100 bill.
Before I say go, I’m gonna make a couple statements.
If those statements apply to you, I want you to take two steps forward.
If those statements don’t apply to you, I want you to stay right where you at.
Take two steps forward if both of your parents are still married.
Take two steps forward if you grew up with a father figure in the home.
Take two steps forward if had access to the private education.
Take two steps forward if had access to a free tutor growing up.
Take two steps forward if you never had to worry about your cell phone being shut off.
Take two steps forward if you never had to help mom or dad with the bills.
Take two steps forward if it wasn’t because of your athletic ability you don’t have to pay for college.
Take two steps forward if you never wondered where your next meal was coming from.
I want you guys up here in the front just to turn around and look.
Every statement I’ve made has nothing to do with anything any of you have done, has nothing to do with decisions you’ve made. Everything I’ve said has nothing to do with anything you’ve done.
We all know these people up here have a better opportunity to win this $100.
Does that mean these people back here can’t race? No.
We would be foolish to not realize we’ve been given more opportunities.
We don’t wanna recognize that we’ve been given the head start.
But the reality is, we have.
Now there’s no excuse. They still gotta run their race. You still gotta run their race. But whoever wins this $100, I’d say it would be extremely foolish of you not to utilize that and learn more about somebody else’s story.
Because the reality is, if this was a fair race, and everybody’s back on their line, I guarantee you some of these black dudes would smoke all of you.
And it’s only because you have this big of a head start that you possibly gonna win this race called life.
That is the picture of life, ladies and gentlemen.
Nothing that you’ve done has put you in the lead right now.
When I say go.
On your mark!
Get set!
Go!
If you didn’t learn anything from this activity, you’re a fool.
