Why do people in this day and age believe their oppression has anything to do with their race?

we live in america where if you cannot afford food, they give you this plastic card for free food. if you cannot afford health insurance, they give you free healthcare. in the long run its the middle man that suffers the most. Not making enough to enjoy luxories of life, yet making to much to get assistance. If youre a go getter a survivor, no matter what ethnicity you are, you can accomplish anything you set your mind to here.
