Can whitey really be blamed for a culture of non-achievement?
Why can't people look at successful people and figure out why they are successful?
I guess it's much easier to blame the successful person for your non-achievement than to look at your own culture's failings.

This brings to mind the Vietnamese "boat people" of the 1970s. These folks crowded boats and came over here with nothing but their clothes, LITERALLY. They saw the opportunity, worked hard, became successful and continue to flourish.

Their experience flushes all "reparations" arguments down the toilet.
