Can anyone help a young black man trying his hardest.I am a young black man and i do not believe in circumstances but I kind of do.Can other people ruin other peoples lives by sabotage?I have been looking for jobs for 12 months straight now i work for a company but i will not give the name.I am the only black guy at my job.I find myself not getting as many hours as every other person who works there.I work probably 1 day out of a month.And when i am on a job search I go dressed to impress the employer whom i want to work for.My resume is a pretty good resume.But most of the time I get the same answer:SORRY BUT WE AREN'T HIRING RIGHT NOW.When I am on a interview i speak very articulate and proper,looking at the interviewer in the eye giving them perfect eye contact.I do not stutter or stammer over my words.So what is the real problem.I don't get into race to much and i'm not racist,But is it the color of my skin or my age that is bothering employers? I'm 21 by the way.I try so hard not giving up especially when in the environment i live in is what we call the PROJECTS:(project housing)but anyway there are so many other things i could be doing to make money out here.Hell I wouldn't even have to leave the house but I tell myself everyday no i'm better than that.I tell myself i don't have to sell drugs to get by.But do I? Know I really have no clue i'm stuck in a place with the lowest employment in the united states Lansing Michigan.I am just a black man trying to do right instead of wrong.I could be selling drugs instead of looking for a job but i don't because
I do not want to be another statistic.
It is so hard to choose.I see my friend riding around in Cadillac's Chevy's and all Kinds of coupe's pulling out giant stacks of money and they do nothing but party.I'm so sick of being broke looking for a job.Its starting to make me kind of hate living.I don't know what to do.
I thought about killing myself.I can't Take it anymore.A lot of us young black men do try but its just the ignorant ones who ruin it for us.I want to have giant stacks of money and jewelry I want to ride around in brand new cars and be able to date the most beautiful women like them.
Am i just too good of a person or am I just being a PUSSY.I don't know which way to go.Like I said am I too good of a person or am I just being a PUSSY.Please comment and let me know what the deal is.

You have the drive to succeed. Do the right thing and believe in yourself. The only thing that holds us back is our own doubts and insecurities. Take a risk, move away...do something! Of course it\'s hard but does anything worth having come for free? Sure your boys seem to have it all but it comes with a price. Any moment they can have all of it taken away because they are doing the wrong thing.

Don\'t stop trying! You deserve the life you want. I highly reccommend the book \"think and grow rich.\" go to the library and read or listen to it. Crazy old white man, but he makes valid points.

Do what others will not. Keep going!

You're just being a big pussy and i'll tell you why. TAKE RESPONSIBILITY by not blaming ANYONE and then you'll be a good person. When you blame it is a way of shifting the responsibility away from yourself and good people don't do that. Good people admit their own laziness and then change, good people do not blame because they look at themselves first for change and THAT'S why you are a pussy ................. BUT ......... you can change ........... WHY ? Because you have been bothered to ask for advice so good luck PUSSY BOY !!!!!!!
