With that said, no minority can credibly claim that "society is hopelessly stacked" against them anymore. There are more than enough opportunities out there for everyone, no matter their color, to succeed in American society today. Is it equal? No, of course not, but it's getting better everyday and we are certainly past the threshold of "hopeless". Get up, get an education, work hard, don't break the law or get someone pregnant when you or they don't want to, don't get addicted to something, and you'll have a pleasant life in America at the minimum.
Hot white women blow practically
every other outwardly-identifiable group out of the water when it comes to privilege. There is absolutely no group of people that gets farther in life on less effort. Only hot non-white women come close.
But I agree with you on race. There's a difference in saying that you can get in trouble for "shopping while black" and saying racism creates the economic gaps between whites and blacks. It's also worth pointing out that there are plenty of black people that don't buy into the professional victim stuff. All of the most politically-incorrect things I've heard about black people are either from white people I know well or black people. The militant BLM Missouri black would get an ear full from a lot of southern blacks I know.
Another Example: In the
2015 Kaiser Family Foundation Report a larger percentage of blacks than whites say lack of motivation is a factor in blacks being poor. 61% also say the breakup of the black family is the problem.
