let's evaluate Chris Gardner-
1. he was 'black'
2. he was 'homeless'
3. he had bugger all
There was no moaning about being abused at childhood or about not having parents or about his wife who left me or about his not having a baby sitter or that his classmates were kids of wealthy 'wall street' parents living it up.

let's evaluate Gandhi-
1. he was 'Indian'
2. thrown off the train
3. vowed to get 'divide and rule' kicked out
Don't recollect him bitching and moaning about his supporters being killed. Or the fact that he had to deal with the perversity of 'divide and rule' Or that he had to put up with the torture of his supporters.
