The first problem I would point out is that it proposes a kind of "libertarian" view that people are fully in control of their destiny and if they fail then they didn't work hard enough.
Where's the research? Where's the evidence? What point are you exactly trying to make here?
Something like "Get out of the ghetto" is easier said than done. You see, when you grow up near people who deal drugs, spend your life seeing people dealing drugs, you will most likely end up dealing drugs as well. That's just nurturing. It's not as simple as "get out of the hole" otherwise there would be no poor people anywhere, don't you think?
And no, I don't really believe that running away from a cop legally allows murder regardless of the person's race.
It's also funny that he mentions slavery doesn't exist but there's lots of trafficking, maybe even more than 100 years ago (but that's a whole new topic).
The only thing in life that we control are our choices. The outcome may not always go the way you want but the wiser the choice the greater the odds of a successful outcome there is.
Regardless of the shithole you live in you should always make good choices. If everyone did that the shitholes would go away given time.
