Understanding this quote
The speaker describes a response to life as a Black man in a society largely shaped by white people and their interests. The wording points to a personal experience of unequal social power: the world around him was created mainly to serve others, not people like him. It presents that response as grounded in lived experience rather than as an abstract idea.
