"The richest heritage a young man can be born to is poverty."
All poverty really does is reveal the winners from the losers early on. Wealth disguises some of that and only serves to delay the inevitable. Still, on a whole, those that grow up with adversity and overcome are more resilient than those who succeed from an advantaged background for they never really gain perspective and an appreciation for sacrifice.
Adaptability is the key to long term survival.
Adapt and overcome.

The poor black kid in a white neighborhood is most likely popular due to his athletic skills.
Im really tired of hearing this false bullshite.
If you accept that athletic skills are genetic/inherent and not cultural then you also have to accept other traits of blacks that reveal themselves through statistics. That blacks are inherently more violent and dumber.
Are you prepared to accept those? Because just like the majority of the NFL is black, the majority of prisons are black and the majority of Mensa is white and asian. If not, then people need to drop this false notion that blacks are better at sports than other races for reasons other than cultural.

That's a different argument. If you're trying to place bets on which kid has the easiest path to success, you're kidding yourself if you choose a black kid in this country.
Exactly but why is that? Is it "MUH RACISM" like youre implying or is it cultural? Why are dot Indians and REAL Africans able to come here and do so well? Keyans think youre retarded.

There is opportunity in this country for everyone,it’s up to the individual to seize it.

You just dont get it, do you?
If youre a minority, other than asian, apparently they dont count, there are EXPLICIT advantages ON PAPER, IN LAW that one can point to as a path to success with little resistance.
The advantages that you claim wypipo have are IMPLICIT at best and you cant point to a single shred of concrete evidence for their existence. We just have to take your word for it. My vast life experience growing up in a majority black city says youre full of shite.

You think poor white kids are going to private school?

THIS
Anybody claiming there is some massive difference between the races in the US in 2018 is likely developing excuses for their own failures.

What's each's IQ? That is going to be the biggest determinant

Why did you reply that to me?
That supports my case.

Black by a long shot, even if s/he had a 4.0 and graduated from harvard, you know baws down south won't hire them. Its unfortunate but thats southern backwards thinking. If black/minorities were given a fair chance at jobs in this country then we would not be having this conversation
I tell people all the time, if you graduate from ivy you need to stay in the northeast of Chicago to get the reward

There are plenty of factors that are more important, no doubt, but all else being equal, being a member of the majority race is an advantage.
A very smart minority will have more opportunities than a smart majority
Now if you are both dumb I would rather be the majority

You’re missing the second biggest market for top grads though (but I agree with your general point).
Also Houston and Dallas would be close and get you amazing bang for your buck compared to NYC.
As for the thread, I agree with the poster who said it’s easier for a high level academic student to be black but for a middling student, it’s much better to be white.

We're talking about the average kid, at least I thought so.
People are talking about the 1% of either race, but that's useless to the discussion. What's better for the median?

Too many variables to answer.

No, of course not. I'm just point out that this thread would have you believe the best chance for success in this country is to be a black kid, not a white kid.
That's complete horseshite on the whole.

For the median I would say a black kid
I would have to look it up, but if a black student got median scores in school he likely gets in medical school

The median pride. Not the median of med school applicants, applicants that are far above the median kid in the first place.
