On some level, I see what you're saying. I grew up in a household where there wasn't much money, and I've had to work my tail off for everything I've gotten, including paying for college (earning lots of scholarship and paying out of pocket), and doing the same thing through law school.

At the same time - that's one heck of an over-generalization you're making. As a white male, I know I've had a TON of advantages that people of other races and backgrounds don't enjoy. To say that the playing field should never be "level" implies that these racial and cultural inequalities, still existing today, are OK.
