“There’s also the language of personal responsibility, which suggests really that there’s no institutional and structural responsibility

Please include at least 4 sociological concepts in your discussion.
You must also cite/draw from the uploaded interview from John Powell. 

Powell says, “There’s also the language of personal responsibility, which suggests really that there’s no institutional and structural responsibility. There’s no collective responsibility. If you’re not doing well, it’s not because of anything that we in society have done. It’s not because of our history, our legacy of Jim Crow, segregation, exploitation and subordination; it’s all personal. So it all gets translated into, “We’re not responsible.”

What does he mean by this? (especially “structural responsibility”)
What role does race play in structural inequality today?
