I have had the view of anyone can help themselves from certain situations. This was my own life experience that has caused me to believe that this is true for everyone. I grew up very poor and even homeless at times. Now I have made my life better to make sure my children will not have to deal with the same type of childhood that I did. However, after reading the web of institutional racism, I now know that this isn’t the case for everyone. Which brings me to understanding the institutional power. It is all starting to make so much more sense for me
