    The truth is racism and discrimination aren't common nowadays. And oppression ceased long ago. They have nothing to do with whether a person succeeds in life. The problem with high black poverty is broken families and lack of discipline in black households.

    Great question! I've observed the same thing myself. I know quite a few successful blacks who worked for a living and succeeded.

    The existence of privileged people is always necessary to a system of inequality. As historian Howard Zinn describes it the American system is about giving as little as possible to as few people as possible.

    Those on the inside provide the relentless defense of the system, of course. 

    They do not object to conservatism, or its nihilism. They are ''on the take''.
