Older = wiser
richer = successful in life
better-educated = knowledgeable
white = they were born that way
males = taking the role they should

Sounds to me like people ought to listen to them...

Kinda like nobel prize winners.

Or neurosurgeons.

Or concertmasters.

Or astronauts.

Or the inventors of the light bulb, laser, Xerox copier, digital computer.

Of the gyrocompass. Of the airplane. Of air conditioning.

Of the telephone. Of the internet. Of the light-emitting diode. Of the liquid crystal display.

Of magnetic resonance imaging.

Of antibiotics.

Kind of like the discoverer of electricity. Of the electron. Of the proton and the neutron.

Of the theory of relativity.

Like the man who went to war over ending slavery in the United states.
