people of color didn't get the same start that whites had, and thus will have an uphill battle in equalizing the playing field.

Your replies are always so predictable, you always start out name-calling when you don't have any counter-argument. Then you convince yourself through your own post that it is us who are ignorant and we must be uninformed.

Maybe you should attempt reading comprehension considering both me and shiner have pointed out to you that it only takes one generation to turn a family from poor to rich. Maybe if you didn't give people a scapegoat with your rhetoric, they may not have a constant 3rd party to blame for their laziness, wrong decisions, etc. Maybe if people didn't have a constant scapegoat, they would actually take on their own responsibility and work their way out of poverty. This is what my dad did when he moved here from Europe before I was born. He worked his way up from having a minimum wage job to being a VP of a large manufacturing company and owning a successful real estate investment business in less than 15 years. He did this because he had no choice, he had nobody to blame for his failures but himself. He picked himself up by the bootstrap and did what he had to for his family to live comfortably. So don't tell me this crap about "it takes many generations" thats an excuse and a load of bullshit.

Are you going to tell me now how uninformed I am?
