Uh oh. Seems I hit another nerve with the snowflakes here! For a bunch of tough guy, "tell it like it is" types you sure seem to get your panties in a pinch whenever someone suggests that maybe just MAYBE you have it a little easier than the Mexican kid in a cage.
I'm a fucking lower middle class white guy myself. I don't have any guilt about it, nor do I think I'm the bee's knees or above racism.
Have a great new year yourself! And everyone here as well.
My middle class white guys point was to point out that in each of your examples none of the founders were lifting themselves out of poverty. They enjoyed the benefits and advantages afforded to the majority ruling class and culture in the good ol USA.
You think all Americans have garages or dorm rooms at Harvard? You think the impoverished have the spare time to tinker with circuit boards in their unused 2 car garage? GIVE ME A BREAK.
You can't be serious Frank. Sport has ALWAYS been a means to escape poverty for minorities in America.
You make a good point but it doesn't really get at the heart of what I'm saying.
The cultural institution of America, the way it is structured from the bottom up affords advantages to white people. It's an undeniable fact.
White Frank will be treated differently when he applies to a job compared to black Frank. Even more so for Jamal, Tyrone or Jashon. Not ALWAYS but often enough to stack the deck.
This has the effect of putting white folks in a better position to benefit from capitalism.
But by your logic it's because black families don't like money and don't want successful children, just football players!

Legitimate arguments if you have no Chinese made products in your household.
Maintaining my composure and my respect to the adults in this forum, I will not respond to your childish "middle class white guys" comment.
Have a wonderful new year.

They were all breathing air too... what does it mean that they are all white guys? Does it mean the system is rigged? is that what you are saying??
So the NBA is all black guys,... The God damn NBA is an Obama scheme to take over american football!!!!Do you think that's what the overwhelming amount of black guys in the NBA (or NFL) means??
How about all harvard raising the entrance requirments on Asians, and lowering the requirments on blacks? Are Asians genetically smarter than blacks? Do asians SUCK at basketball??
What do you think all this obvious demographic inequality means???
A: I will tell you,... It means that people's culture, (NOT COLOR) has a lot to do with how they develop skills in their lives. That "nerdy Jewish kid" is expected to study hard by his parents and go to law school or medical school, and the cultural pressure on him is greater than some black kid, or some white farm boy in kansas. It's not racial inequality, it's different cultural priorities.
Modern america has evolved way beyond that racial shit now, although it's still a good card to play to try to injure a politician...
Trump's a racist! Really?? explain why and how... or shut up! You'ld have better odds convincing people he's a bully and a prick. lol
