[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It truly amazes me that you believe people of color are unable or unwilling to do what they need to in order to get ahead without a cash payout.

You give them no credit at all for their determination and perseverance.[/quote]

I want them to have an equal starting position - an equal opportunity to succeed. [/quote]

They have the same opportunity I have.  Or, you have.  Allow them to take advantage of it.  [/quote]

You think that the average black kid born in the US today will have the same opportunities and resources as the average white kid?

Yep.  Same opportunities.  Some even believe that POC are afforded more opportunities today than the average white person.

There is not systemic racism.  And the "wealth gap" isn't a thing.  Sure, you can find a chart compiled by an activist organization to try to prove your point, but the chart doesn't compare apples to apples and it doesn't take into account the value some families place on saving money.  [/quote]
It is easier for black kids to get into college, get scholarships, get into grad school, get hired at top companies and law firms, and get promoted. What else do you want? Taking advantage of these opportunities is up to the individual. [/quote]
