In an effort to maximize margin space, and to prevent myself from having to reply to 4 different people below, I will post here. At the heart of the issue of “race” in America is the argument between nature vs. nurture, social injustice vs. biological determinism.It took many many years, but I gradually (and painfully) began to accept that biological determinism is at the heart of all social inequality, and not social injustice.Here is why: Whether you are a Liberal or not, many of you can agree with me that Homosexuality, for many Homosexuals, is a genetic predisposition.  In short, most people believe that Biological determinism or Nature is King when it comes to sexual preference.  The question is, if a man can be born with the instinctual urge to blow another man, then why can’t a man be born with the instinctual urge to be highly ambitious?  Why would Biological determinism only end with sexual preference, and not continue on to innate intellect, creative abilities, ambition, will power,etc.etc?  The answer is pretty obvious....Biological determinism doesn’t end with mere sexual preference. There is absolutely no scientific reason as to why it wouldn't!  If sexual preference is innate, then so to are the key mental ingredients to becoming successful (or staying poor!) If we can all agree that there are certain mental characteristics that one needs to keep from being on the bottom of society, then we must all come to grips with the fact that not everyone can be born with those mental qualities! Thus, once you have accepted the fact that we are all born with innate abilities, you have to accept the fact that inequality is hardwired into our genes. Environment and education do not rule us, for if they did, we wouldn't have any cases of poor people lifting themselves up out of poverty...with no help whatsoever. Half or more of new American millionaires were once lower middle class people. If we are to accept that are innate abilities are tremendous driving factors in our socio economic destinies, and if we are to indeed not judge people by their skin color, then we must judge according to socioeconomic status. Thus, if an entire group of people finds themselves in poverty, generation after generation, then we are judging them by the poor performance of their genetics, and not their race.

WOOHOOO! We're winning! Oh, wait, I'm white. WOOHOOO! They're winning!

So now checking White on my Harvard application will give me an edge!  Oh, that's right. Only Liberally ACCEPTED minorities get that freebie. No whites or Asians need apply.
