The reason why it doesn't affect him as much as others is because the effect of abuse on a population that is big enough (in this case millions) will have varied effects. You'll have people who are aggressive suicidal maniacs, self made millionaires and everyone else in between.
This guy just happens to be lucky enough to be on a better side of the spectrum. Perhaps he had better parents, role models, community, in-born personality etc....

Oh come on, who do “African American's” want sympathy, concessions or special treatment from, me? I had no black relatives in the Congo who captured their ancestors, I had no Portuguese relatives that bought their ancestors and brought them to America to sell. I have no southern relatives that bought their ancestors.
I don’t even have any relatives that were in America during the Civil War. Or during World War One for that matter.
I have the same empathy for anyone facing problems. Regardless of color. What I don’t have is sympathy for people dwelling in the past, the very distant past, that hasn’t got a damn thing to do with today.
I have a problem with people intentionally not fitting into today’s society and using something that happened 15 decades ago as an excuse. A selective excuse since the only time it seems to surface is when a white kills a black. Never when a black kills a white or a black kills another black. Funny how that works.
I applaud the young man that made the video and isn’t afraid to state the obvious.
