the problem is that the world and people just don't work like that. there will always be stupid people. there will always be corrupt people. there will always be people who would rather cheat and steal than work hard. there will always be people looking for a hand out. there will always be lazy people. there will always be people blaming someone or something else for their problems. that doesn't stop no matter what you change. been tried time and time again.

Obviously you're not reading as well as you argue. No where did I say the solution was for everyone to turn around and start loving the other color. No where did I say any minority or any individual should be entitled to more. No where did I say the world and people need to change for things in America to be 'right'.
The term 'right' alone is based off society, and in America's society, 'right' changes with every new decade. America is a racist country. I'm fine with it, I deal with it, else I would move the fuck out.
What I'm saying is actually
wrong is those people who sit and blame the lack of minority upcoming directly
upon minorities, particularly blacks in this instance. How did blacks come to this country? How were they treated, how much education were they allowed? What stereotype is perpetuated by the country for financial gain? What exactly has the rest of the country done to ensure everyone was playing on equal ground? They've done nothing, never have, and don't intend to. Any political aid has been for votes.
Hell, even your churches which scream all men under god were created equal turned a blind eye to the horrific treatment of slaves. Funny how many in those days preached the bible, praise the lord, everyone is under jesus and allow all men to be saved. Oh, all excepts for the ni&&ers. Because they're not human.
Your environment/background is a by far strong depiction of your chances of survival. Even hillbillys could be confused with uppity whites with the right suit. There are a few that will break out from it.. but to say all is equal and blacks are where they are because they put themselves there is in every aspect of the word; bullshit.
