A brief YouTube short by TJ Walker arguing that while systemic unfairness (race, class, status) exists and can control individuals' lives, the modern world rewards merit more than before. Walker exhorts viewers to study, learn, work, and create—arguing that personal effort and the "TJ Walker habit" are essential to build the life one wants despite unfairness.
Yes, the world is unfair. Race, class, other elements of status can completely control some individual's life. However, the world has never been more based on your merit than it is right now. So it is in fact up to you to study more, learn more, work more, create more. If you want to create a life you want, it's not enough to just simply say life is unfair. Yes, there's unfairness. But life has never had more fairness than it does right now. Please follow the TJ Walker habit.
