Yes. Plenty. Or are you denying the fact that there are black doctors, laywers, athletes, actors, politicians etc etc? I know it might seem like that from across the pond there but the fact of the matter is the ones that you'll see about in the news over there are not your typical Black Americans.
No I am not denying it at all.. those are the lucky few relatively speaking. Sure it has gotten better since the 1960s, but get real here for god sake... it is much harder for an inner city black kid to get out than it is for an inner city white kid.. that is just a fact.
And yeah, rich people are going to have an advantage over poor people. That does not negate the chance that poor people have to rise up above poverty. Nor is it a sign of inequality. Inequity maybe. But not inequality. I know there are groups of people out there that like to confuse equality vs equity. But there is a difference.
yea they have a very small chance.... Rich people can send their kids to school.. regardless if they are dumb as snot. Look who is President, or Bush Jr.. both have degrees from expensive schools but we both know they do not deserve those degrees.. daddy bought them. Then you have the middle class or poor black boy or white girl, who both have to struggle to find money to go to school and many fail because it is simply too expensive or impossible. And dont give the the scholarship bull****, because that is exactly what it is.. bull****. By the time they graduate.. if they are so lucky, they will be in so much debt, that it will be near impossible to pay off... limiting them yet again.
If you want equality and fairness in a society, then you need to get rid of as man barriers as possible.. race, religion and financial.
