Life is not fair. It is not fair to Blacks, nor to whites or Hispanics or Martians. Some people are raised to believe that life should be fair and is fair for other people, but not for them.

A lot of the problem is meeting the expectation gap.

"life is not fair"

The opposite is the belief held by many libs that until a "level playing field" is established, no fairness will come to minorities, especially black Americans.

The truth is there never was and never will be such a thing as a level playing field for anybody. I grew up the first ten years of my life lower middle-class i.e. poor. We lived in a basement house, and I shared a bed with my older brother.

Meanwhile the equally white Kennedy's of Massachusett and other rich white people were living luxurious lives. We didn't have nearly the perks the Kennedys and the other wealthy white people had.

But, growing up in America, we did have great opportunities to improve our situation. And all my six siblings took advantage of the opportunities afforded them and became very successful. Several of my siblings are now millionaires in total wealth.

Black Americans also have great chances to improve themselves. But many of them are quite unwilling to take advantage of the great opportunities afforded them.

Who is to blame for that inability fifty years after the sixties Civil Rights bill that established affirmative discrimination uh....action and other extra-legal benefits for blacks? White people? Nothing will satisfy the race industry crowd.
