THE RACE QUESTION!!!

[ziggytrix]

Class mobility in America is the dream, but the system as it is only has so much room for members in upper classes.

If a person starts a chain of stores that makes him a multimillionaire, that's 30 people whose stores were shut out. So while everyone has a shot at success, not everyone has the same shot, and not everyone can win, even if they try as hard as they can.

When faced with such an unfair predicament you look for something to blame. The easiest thing to do is say it's someone else's problem. Like when affluent people say poverty in America is a self-inflicted condition, or when a poor person says he fails because of "the man".
