Can’t disagree with most of what you’ve written, however the overwhelming majority of white people haven’t inherited shite from their parents or grandparents..
Do you know what they’ve inherited? Work ethic!
Not to mention an emphasis of taking care of the children they bring into this world.

I don’t disagree. But if I may offer a counter and give some food for thought:

Along with that hard work ethic, they also likely passed down a sense of social equality, equality in the eyes of the justice system, and unimpeded access to the American Dream.

But what they didn’t pass on is likely more important than what they did, that is: a sense of social inferiority and deference to whites, unequal citizenship socially and In the eyes of the law. The consequences of these are monumental and too many to list.

Think about this: both my paternal great grandmothers were born of former slaves, both lived until I was in high school, had a significant impact upon me as a person, and I’m only in my 30’s.

Thankfully, I had four grandparents(and parents) who in the face of adversity and inequality all graduated college, made good financial decisions and passed down a good work ethic.

Jesuits and SJW's are pretty much the same thing.
