whites and blacks have equal rights and the same opportunities available

untrue

skin color alone should not be the basis for aid. If some one needs help, help them.

There is actually a lot more extra help granted to white people especially the well off than will ever go to black people. There is a higher proportion of white people in Harvard now who wouldn’t have made it purely on merit than any other race. In a less shitty environment maybe being colorblind would actually make sense. In actuality it decreases fairness.

Clearly the current systems are not helping, despite all the aid given to them.

The actual aid that is available to families is largely a joke

why work harder for less, when I can live off government aid

You actually largely can’t you would end up living with the hobos on the cardboard if you without any disability decided not to bust your fucking ass.

Asian/Ellis Island era European immigrants didn’t have the same aid, and 80 years later Asians are among the most successful groups, or at least average.

80 years ago isn’t today. 80 years ago jobs that paid 50k didn’t require 100K in debt while houses cost $400k.

You are basically a KKK member without a hood.
