Also I think the advantage now goes to the educated and the hard working. A degreed black female that is ambitious has advantages over a standard white male slacker type that has no ambition.

Jim, you're 100% correct.

The United States is a meritocracy ... no one "runs" it ... and anyone who has the wisdom and fortitude to create wealth can be enormously successful. Americans don't care if the person who designed and built their office chair was male or female, European or African or Asian. They just want the chair to be comfortable and affordable.

Opportunity for success exists in abundance for all ... unfortunately so does opportunity to whine and moan about how successful other people are.
