I dont have time for all of them:

Misrepresentation:and what's so insufferable about life in the United States for people who aren't "white" males ... and where life would be better for them.
Where did I ever mention life was insufferable for people that are not white males? And the answer to your question posed, IMO this is the best country in the world to get a fair shake for all.

Not answering my question: And what a horrible example with the sports... Who are the OWNERS of the big 3 sports? Do you actually think the employees make more money than the owners? Is this what you are implying?

I ask you to take a look at every position that has an important decision making role in this country, and/or the ultra rich billionaires. Now look at at the numbers. The vast majority are white and male. I am making no statements about why the numbers are skewed, I am asking YOU to look at the numbers.
For the time being I will NARROWLY define reaping the full benefits this country has to offer with the aforementioned: Positions of making important decisions that effect a large number of people, and or very wealthy.

Now. After looking at the numbers I am made a claim that I am sticking with.

If you do refute my claim, I would like to know why the numbers are skewed towards white males (which they are, dont play with me with minor numbers like Condy Rice)? This is why I was careful to write PROBABILITY, and all other things being equal (hardworking, reliable, educated).

Good day. I await your valid, thoughtful response. You are taking on a very tough question.

OOPs. Almost forgot. Another statement. If one is black or hispanic, one has a greater probability of ending up in prison than if one is white. There are clearly disproportionate numbers compared to the general population. Got an answer for this one?
