Leverage race as the reason for personal lack of success in society.

Most criminals, for example, are not what they are because they didn't possess other alternatives. They chose their life.

The question, is why? Often, it involves some sort of personally manufactured race bullshit imprinted upon them by someone else that has used race to rationalize many things.

I don't buy it. We can all think. If you choose not to? Subhuman.

Because the ability to reason is what makes us above animals.

Quite. You are judging others as not 'thinking' and therefore subhuman.

But you have not actually reacted to my opinion that your judgement represents an assimilation of classic bigoted white values, on your part.

Calling any human beings 'subhuman' is always bigoted. It is emotional bile, dress it up as you will.

When you regard any human being as "subhuman", what does that imply?

The word untermenschen comes to mind.

If you do not possess the inherent qualities that make us human, how can you be one?

It's definitional.

Choose to not act like an animal or be categorized as one. I believe in the power of choice.
