[QUOTE="refineryworker05, post: 3015654, member: 66082"] I mean we all see and experience different things. This is a huge nation, both in terms of geography and population. There are hundreds of millions of Americans spread out over a huge expanse of land. Those millions of Americans live very different lives, with different circumstances and make different choices and have different opportunities, etc. So while our personal experiences and how we interpret those personal experiences are important, they can't tell you everything about the nation at large. The only chance to even attempt to do that is to look at data about this nation, read books, try to understand our history, our political system, our economy etc. And the data on racial disparities doesn't paint this picture that all Americans are equally poor, have equal chances at success. Certainly millions of Americans are doing badly and most poor Americans are white and they face some huge struggles, but on the aggregate, white Americans even poor ones when statistically compared to poor black Americans are eon's better off. It is not even close. Like I said Americans really don't have any idea just how big these racial disparities are in American. Just look up employment stats by education and race and be alarmed. And that's just one area. [/QUOTE]
