I'm black and my family wasn't upper middle class. My parents bought a computer when I was 11 years old and I lived on that thing. After I dropped out of HS and was living on my own at like 18, I would put dollars into the machine so I could build my music website as I didn't have a computer at the time.
The point is people who are interested will do what they have to even if they don't have large amounts of money.
- rmah 9y agoI think your experience is highly admirable. But I think even you have to admit that most people, regardless of background, do not have the sort of will power and drive you exhibited. So yes, any particular person could overcome the obstacles in their path. But most will not. And it's the "most" that will lead to skewed statistics over time.
- thegayngler 9y agoI certainly agree. It was just my interest and I felt like it was fun for me to put something out that the whole world could see if they wanted to.
