Yes, but many more whites are born with a silver spoon in their mouths than other races.

I've worked my rear end off and if I want to leave my kids (if I ever have any) a fortune and a silver spoon in their mouths they shouldn't feel bad or guilty from that. Anybody can make a fortune in this country if they APPLY themselves and earn it and I'll be damned if it's a crime for being born into money from your fathers hard work. If blacks want to work their tail off and leave a nice fortune to their children they have the same chance as anybody in this country of doing so. I'm sick of the race card always being played in every situation in this country. It's a tired, old excuse for failure and there is nobody to blame for failure but the individual who fails. No more excuses please.

I am glad you worked hard and your children are better off. It is the american way. If you look to my original posts, the author says "white priviledge is a myth", then a poster says "where is my silver spoon ?", and then I said, whites are more often born will silver spoons than other races. I never said it was bad, I merely state the facts.

People who make a lot of money (unless they rob, cheat or steal to get it) are providing a public service by doing something that someone else thinks is valuable enough to freely give money to have it done. Making money is good. The more you make, the more value you have produced. Bravo to you both.

I don't like to hear misstatements of fact and the fact is white people more often have "silver spoons" than non whites.
