Just be happy that the system is in place to help you

The system was established to protect the white male, specifically of Aryan blood, no doubt. However dismissing the evolution of the system and the steps put in place to resolve the inequalities is being disingenuous. There are systems in place in this country to give the lower class of all races, and minorities a helping hand to eradicate some of the disadvantages between them and the middle/upper class. The system is not perfect, but saying the system and not home and neighborhood culture is the primary causation of the struggles of the American lower class and minority communities is completely false. The hypocrisy many of the middle class, who are taxed rationally inequal to the upper class, cite is that education, betterment, and civic duties which allow for the betterment of oneself and community is disregarded and rather the white man is chastised and cited as the cause.
